Hi James.
Emailing from home before heading for bed - W2000 Pro, PIII 866 512Mb
RAM. This is a quick description. Let me know what you would like me
to focus on of the problems reported below.
CVS freshly updated, no mods to source tree.
Windows GCL 2.6.2 prerelease.
./configure --prefix=c:/lang/maxima --enable-gcl
make >make.log 2>&1
make check
;;All ridgy-didge:
================================
*** Summary results for tests recorded in
*** log file tests-gcl.log:
Error summary:
Error(s) found in rtest15.mac: (4)
Expected failures (known bugs in this version of Maxima):
rtest15.mac: (4)
Timing:
real time : 14.017 secs
run time : 14.017 secs
*** end of summary for tests-gcl.log
================================
make install
Double click on <maxima-dir>\maxima.bat - text based Maxima OK except
that describe (whatever) doesn't wait for feedback from user:
(C3) describe (integrate);
================================
0: INTEGRATE :(maxima.info)Definitions for Integration.
1: INTEGRATE_USE_ROOTSOF :Definitions for Integration.
Enter n, all, none, or multiple choices eg 1 3 :
(D3) FALSE
(C4)
================================
Change name of <maxima-dir>\xmaxima to xmaixma.tcl so it is associated
in registry with current Windows Active State Tcl 8.4.5.0. SHould
really do same with omplotdata and mgnuplot per earlier reports. Doing
so allows WIndows (at least modern variants, probably also W98) to treat
them in a similar way to scripts in Unix and so the variations of
plot2d/plot3d using those commands froma text prompting Maxima session
will work.
Double click on xmaxima.tcl
Squares at end of line indicates pronblems with DOS end-of-lines.
Probablky not due to recent changes in that regard with GCL as I also
built with an older version without the fix and got the same problem.
Plotting works as usual embedded or otherwise.
Maxima/Run Tests dies on problem 55 (I think as usual):
================================
/* ********************** Problem 55. *************** */
%Input is
DESOLVE([EQN1, EQN2], [f(x), G(x)])
x + 2 contains more than one independent variable.
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
================================
File/interrupt gives:
================================
couldn't execute "C:\lang\Tcl\bin\winkill.exe": invalid argument
couldn't execute "C:\lang\Tcl\bin\winkill.exe": invalid argument
while executing
"exec $maxima_priv(kill) $signal $pid"
(procedure "CMkill" line 8)
invoked from within
"CMkill -INT $pid"
(procedure "CMinterrupt" line 5)
invoked from within
"CMinterrupt .maxima.text "
(command bound to event)
================================
File/restart leaves old Maxima running.
File/exit likewise.
Now to a DOS prompt with new Maxima bin in path:
C:\Documents and Settings\mike>maxima -d
maxima-prefix=c:/lang/maxima
maxima-imagesdir=c:/lang/maxima/lib/maxima/5.9.0.1cvs/binary-gcl

C:\Documents and Settings\mike>maxima -s 4008
jfa: starting server on port 4008

================================
So it looks like it times out looking for a connection and then the GCL
error handling is in trouble.
I'm off.
