Re: [Maxima-discuss] Compiling Maxima on Mac OS X

[有坂富雄 <ari...@ic...>]

Dear Gunter,

I compiled the github version of wxMaxima.
(commit:4e49c135e25722ee2d7e32d72de54988b2710bd4)
You can download it with the next url:

I have the trouble with this version of wxMaxima as follows:

I cannot open new window:
(1) I launched wxMaxima, then an empty window was opened.
(2) I selected the menu "File->New", then nothing happened.
(3) I dropped a wxmx file into the application icon of wxMaxima, then nothing happened.


By the way, Since when has wxMaxima been broken?
And so I found the last version of wxMaxima which did not include the freeze or crash bug of the version 16.04.0 and later on MacOS X.
It was committed on 31 Mar 2016, just before wxMaxima-16.04.0.
(commit:009b3f52543f95393399c563bf9b5377a7f8a92d)
You can download its executable binary with the next url:

I hope this information helps you.

Thanks,

Tomio Arisaka


P.S.
On MacOS X, be careful to remove initialization files created by wxMaxima when you change the version of wxMaxima. You can find them with the next command:
$ find $HOME/Library -name '*wxMaxima*'
