changed:
- 1 start cygwin's setup program again and select the packages:
-
- In Editors::
-
- emacs
- emacs-X11
-
- 2 extract the emacs mode
-
- Like this::
-
- cd /cygwin/c/scratch/ax-build
- cp ../fricas/src/scripts/tex/axiom.sty .
- cp ../fricas/contrib/emacs/axiom.el.pamphlet .
- build/scripts/document axiom.el.pamphlet
-
- you should obtain two files: axiom.el and axiom.el.dvi. The latter
- contains the documentation of the mode and can be viewed with any dvi
- viewer.
-
- 3 install the emacs mode and optionally a startup script:
-
- Like this::
-
- cp axiom.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
- cp ../fricas/contrib/emacs/eaxiom /usr/bin
-
- 4 if you installed the startup script, you can start axiom now

- eaxiom
-
- or::
-
- sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
- eaxiom
-
1) start cygwin's setup program again and select the packages:
In Editors: emacs

2) install the emacs mode and a startup script:
cd /cygwin/c/scratch/fricas/contrib/emacs
cp fricas*.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
cp efricas /usr/bin
4) if you installed the startup script, you can start FriCAS now with
sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
efricas
Note: the text below should be identical to the contents of INSTALL.CYGWIN in
the FriCAS distribution.
These instructions show you how to build FriCAS on MS Windows from the sources
in the subversion repository. You may want to consider building FriCAS from a
distribution tarball instead, which contains pregenerated algebra Lisp,
HyperDoc pages and graphic examples. Moreover, using the tarball the build is
much faster - a few minutes instead of a few hours. You can get a tarball via
http://fricas.sourceforge.net/download.html
First of all, do not be afraid! The instructions below probably look more
intimidating than they really should be. In case something goes wrong, do not
hesitate to ask at fricas-devel@googlegroups.com.
To compile FriCAS on MS Windows, we proceed as follows:
I) If you do not have cygwin installed, go to
http://cygwin.com/
Look for a link called setup.exe and save it to disk.
II) Start cygwin's setup program. The first few questions can be answered with
the default values, until you get to the "Select Packages" dialog.
Clicking on a little + will expand the list of packages. You should select
apart from the defaults the following:
(DISCLAIMER: this list is likely to be overkill. Also note that selecting
will also select many packages they depend on, this should happen
automatically.)

Complete the cygwin installation process.

find a place to build FriCAS.

cd scratch
(it is essential that the path to scratch does not contain any spaces.

6) make the graphics examples:
IMPORTANT NOTE: this step failed when I tried. After the first drawing
appeared and disappeared, it did not continue. The example graphics
are in no way essential though and can be easily reproduced in the
installed system.
6a) start X:

make gphts
at this point (which will take a while), graphics should appear and
disappear.
cd ../..

7) install
make install
V) you may want to install the emacs mode coming with FriCAS. In this case you
need to:
1) start cygwin's setup program again and select the packages:
In Editors: emacs
emacs-X11
2) install the emacs mode and a startup script:
cd /cygwin/c/scratch/fricas/contrib/emacs
cp fricas*.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
cp efricas /usr/bin
4) if you installed the startup script, you can start FriCAS now with
