Hi,

i like to use smath studio on linux with the maxima plugin.

I have set a link from maxima.bat to maxima but when I try to set the path for maxima i get the following error.

What can I do to solve this issue.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "/home/schwm/.config/SMath/extensions\plugins\44011c1e-5d0d-4533-8e68-e32b5badce41/maxima.xml".

Currently, the maxima plugin doesn't work under linux. It might be possible though.

Hi,

you said it could be possible. What must be done to get the plugin working under Linux.

Thanks

The plugin runs maxima in command line mode via a local IP connection. I think under linux the system call to start maxima is different. Assuming that the problem is actually in that system call (which I am not really sure about), I see two ways to solve the problem:

- to provide an executable script maxima.bat under linux, which can be called by the plugin
- to find out what call must be made under linux and to use that in the plugin as an OS-specific command.

Feel free to play around with the source code, it is all in the SVN repository ("Code" button in the forum header).

Note that under Windows, Steel Bank Common Lisp is used because it is unicode-proof. If this is not available or behaving differently under Linux, additional problems might show up once the connection is working.

Actually, wxmaxima is an application which also runs maxima in the background, so their source code should provide hints.

Maxima is included near every repository.
And it can evaluate expressions from terminal.
Actually it should be easier to work with it under linux.
Can maxima plugin use this to its advantage?

Definitely. Perhaps it is sufficient to adapt [url=smath.info:8443/!/#public/view/head/plugins/MaximaPlugin/MaximaPlugin/ControlObjects/AutoMaxima.cs]AutoMaxima.cs[/url]. However, I have no linux system and can't test.
