Subject: Axiom doesn't run on Windows
Message-ID: <20071220060508-0800@axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org>
Status: fix proposed => closed
Strictly speaking, Axiom does not run on Windows
so this isn't a bug but a feature request.
The graphics code will run standalone.
An effort could be made to port the viewalone
program to use XMing on Windows.
Future plans are to have the graphics run
embedded in Firefox.

Unfortunately graphics is not yet available on the Windows version of Axiom. Both graphics and hyperdoc depend on some graphical libraries (X-windows based) that are not available under windows. Programs like viewport manager will have to be re-written to interface with a Windows compatible graphics library. This is a complex job that is going to take some time. ------------------------------------------------------------ property change --greg, Mon, 03 Apr 2006 11:28:08 -0500 Category: Axiom User Interface => Axiom on Windows property change --unknown, Fri, 23 Jun 2006 16:19:10 -0500 Category: Axiom on Windows => Doyen CD Severity: normal => serious Status: open => fix proposed Bug in Axiom windows version in Texmac mode --unknown, Fri, 30 Jun 2006 08:34:01 -0500 I tried to find (a+b)^7 by various ways including (a+b)^6*(a+b) etc, all the time I get only oe result in TEXMAC, a^7.
