I have a problem with latest git head on windows, using both gcl and
sbcl. The installed maxima can't find maxima-index.lisp. All is OK
running maxima-local in the build tree. I don't have time to
investigate further tonight.
The error message is:
WARNING: Maxima is unable to set up the help system.
(Details: CL-INFO::LOAD-PRIMARY-INDEX: Couldn't load
"c:/maxima/info/./maxima-index.lisp":
file does not exist.)
Of note:
- maxima is configured with --prefix=c:/maxima
- maxima-index.lisp is installed into c:/maxima/share/info
- maxima-infodir, according to the installed maxima, is c:/maxima/info
