4 Quick instructions for building a Maxima.app on Mac OS X.
9 The package is built with the Platypus application. Install Platypus
10 from http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus. You also need to install the
11 command line tools (start the Platypus application and install command
12 line tools from the Preferences dialog).
17 The default configuration uses sbcl which is installed as
18 /usr/local/bin/sbcl, but other lisps can be used too. It creates a
19 Maxima.app on the Desktop.
21 To create Maxima.app with default settings execute
23 make -f macosx/Makefile
25 To use a different lisp and set the version execute
27 make -f macosx/Makefile VERSION=5.24.0 LISP_NAME=cmucl \
28 LISP_PROGRAM=/usr/local/bin/lisp
30 Maxima will be configured with correct options, built and installed
31 into Maxima.app. Some parts of Maxima.app are created with Platypus.
36 Double-cliking Maxima.app starts maxima in a new Terminal window.
38 To run maxima from Terminal, execute
39 Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh
