Re: [Maxima-discuss] Mac and Windows

[Norman B. <eph...@gr...>]

You can build Maxima, xMaxima, and wxMaxima from scratch with no
knowledge of programming using MacPorts. You must be willing to install
the OSX development tools (X11 and Xcode) which I think are both free
currently.

Start here

https://www.macports.org/guide/#introduction

for what you must install. It is a lot to download but once you do,
keeping Maxima up-to-date is pretty easy.

If you want to go this route, tell MacPorts to build wxMaxima and it
will create everything you need, SBCL, GnuPlot, Maxima, xMaxima,
wxMaxima, etc.

Regards,

Norman
