Hello David,
thanks for building the Windows installer.
I have installed it in my virtual box. The test suite shows 2 errors:
Maxima 5.27.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.8 (a.k.a. GCL)
Running tests in rtest16:
********************** Problem 187 ***************
Input:
float((2^60-1)/2^60)-1
Result:
-1.1102230246251565E-16
This differed from the expected result:
0.0
********************** Problem 188 ***************
Input:
float((2^1000-1)/2^1000)-1
Result:
-1.1102230246251565E-16
This differed from the expected result:
0.0
604/606 tests passed
The following 2 problems failed: (187 188)
Don't know if this is a problem of this specific Windows gcl version. On my
Linux I installed Maxima from the debian repos which also uses gcl. Here
the tests run without error.
Maxima 5.27.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (a.k.a. GCL)
Running tests in rtest16: 606/606 tests passed
