do I tell texmacs about maxima???
I am not an expert on MS Windows. But:
The correct working of the maxima plugin crucially depends on the script
maxima_detect (on Linux, it usually lives in /usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin/ ; I
suppose you can find where it lives in Windows). To run it, you need bash;
also, it uses grep, sed, maybe something else. I am sure all these
standard tools can be installed in Windows, probably, using cygwin. And
the script maxima_detect contains some cygwin-specific parts (written not
by me, and I cannot even test if they work or not). If you install all the
required tools and run this script from the bash prompt, it should produce
a list of available maxima versions, something like
(
"5.22.1 clisp"
"5.22.1 cmucl"
"5.22.1 ecl"
"5.22.1 openmcl"
"5.22.1 sbcl"
)
If it produces the output
#f
instead, this means that it cannot find maxima. Probably, it is not in the
$PATH.
Sorry, cannot be more specific, because I don't use MS operating systems.
