Here are the commands to compile Maxima by ECL.
Thanks to Juan Jose Garcia R. for this info.
1) Configure maxima:
cd maxima
./ecl -eval (load "configure") -eval (configure) -eval (quit)
2) Change to the source directory maxima/src
./ecl
(require 'asdf)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'maxima)
(user::run)
run_testsuite();
Until further notice, the Maxima code has to be from the
patches-for-ecl-branch in CVS.
Feel free to give it a try and let us know how it turns out ...
best
