There are many alternative GUIs for maxima, and I am surprised you didn't
find some of them like imaxima, emaxima, texmacs, wxmaxima. I think they all
use some kind of socket communication, which is what you should consider
instead of a dll, which probably does not really have the right
functionality.

Subject: Calling maxima via dll-files on windows
I searched the web to see if it was possible to access maxima via dll files
on windows, but without luck - so presumably it isn't. However, it could be
nice if such an option existed. My specific interest is in creating a small
GUI for maxima as an alternative to xmaxima.
The yacas program can be called via a dll file through the functions
yacas_eval(arg), yacas_error(), yacas_result() and yacas_error(). Based on
these I've made a GUI for yacas, but I'm not really happy with yacas, so I
thought about carrying the idea over to maxima.
Does anyone know of a similar way of accessing maxima or whether there are
any plans for releasing the windows version with such dll's??
Thanks in advance
S?ren
