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

[有坂富雄 <ari...@ic...>]

Dear Gunter,

Thanks a lot for your effort.

I compiled the github version of wxMaxima.
(commit:e05def70b937f6cf84a4453537560cbbf41329cf)
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 wxMaxima tried to launch new wxMaxima and so failed. Therefore nothing happened.
(3) I dropped a wxmx file into the application icon of wxMaxima, then wxMaxima tried to launch new wxMaxima and so failured. Therefore nothing happened.

By the way, I found wxMaxima-16.04.2 works good on MacOS X.
wxMaxima-16.04.2 does not have the crash bug which wxMaxima-16.04.0 has.
wxMaxima-16.04.2 does not have the freeze multi-window bug which wxMaxima-16.12.x has, too.

And I also found the last version which does not have the freeze multi-window bug on MacOS X.  It was committed on Oct 17, 2016.

But the next version has the freeze multi-window bug.  it was committed on Oct 18, 2016.

This bug was reported by Eric.  And so wxMaxima-16.04.1 and 16.04.2 have fixed it.
