MAXIMA.APP =========== Quick instructions for building a Maxima.app on Mac OS X. Platypus --------- The package is built with the Platypus application. Install Platypus from http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus. You also need to install the command line tools (start the Platypus application and install command line tools from the Preferences dialog). Maxima.app ----------- The default configuration uses sbcl which is installed as /usr/local/bin/sbcl, but other lisps can be used too. It creates a Maxima.app on the Desktop. To create Maxima.app with default settings execute make -f macosx/Makefile To use a different lisp and set the version execute make -f macosx/Makefile VERSION=5.24.0 LISP_NAME=cmucl \ LISP_PROGRAM=/usr/local/bin/lisp Maxima will be configured with correct options, built and installed into Maxima.app. Some parts of Maxima.app are created with Platypus. Running Maxima --------------- Double-cliking Maxima.app starts maxima in a new Terminal window. To run maxima from Terminal, execute Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh
