Hi,

thanks for the answer.

Should Texmacs-qt-windows and Maxima-windows run together out of the box like it does on linux?

I have not yet installed cygwin. What I am looking for ist some how to about installing texmacs-windows-qt and maxima. If that does not work I would consider to install cygwin and try to find where the problem is.


Here is what I dit:
- Windows XP Professional latest updates
- I Installed Maxima 5.21.1 (I did not change the installation path)
-- The same version that runs on my linux machine
-- wxMaxima runs very well.
- Installed Texmacs-winsows-qt 1.0.7.6
- Insert a Session Typ maxima
-- I am able to choose a Session typ maxima
-- If something is evaluated it says plugin maxima not defined in status bar
-- In Texmacs Window it says busy

- In my notes (4 years old) I found wintexmacs 1.0.5. needed a file called pluginpaths.txt with the path to the binary of maxima.
- I created that file but nothing changed.
- Does Texmacs-winsows-qt 1.0.7.6 needs such file?

Kind regards for any help

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.
