[Axiom-math] Re: [fricas-devel] Re: Building the Aldor interface on FriCAS or OpenAxiom

[Bill Page]

Success!

After a little more fighting with the src_aldor2.tgz makefile, I have
finally managed to build the Aldor interface in FriCAS. As Peter said,
a patch to Axiom's 'hashType' was necessary to make this work. I now
have Axiom (FriCAS) with Aldor 1.1.0 (including Peter's most recent
patch to Aldor for destructing in for-loops), installed and working at
the new Axiom wiki:

http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/AldorForAxiom

Note: The build instructions here are still not up to date. I will get
to that later today.

On this system we have Axiom (FriCAS) and Aldor built with:

Aldor: Rev 16
FriCAS: Rev 123

If you have a chance, please give this a test and let me know if you
find any problems.

My plan next is to incorporate a preliminary version of the build
script into the FriCAS distribution so that building the interface
(should) become easier.

Regards,
Bill Page.

Do you plan similar scripts for OpenAxiom?

Do you plan similar scripts for OpenAxiom?

Yes, I think the same build script will work for both FriCAS and
OpenAxiom. I will let you know in a few days.

1) do you think you could already

incorporate a preliminary version of the build script into the
FriCAS distribution so that building the interface (should)
become easier.

I was planning to do this but got sidetracked on other subjects. I
would be glad to help you do it.

2) is the patch to 'hashType' already in FriCAS, or do I have
to apply it myself?

It is not yet in FriCAS. You could submit at patch.

many thanks,

Let me know how I can help.

Regards,
Bill Page.

Dear Bill, Peter, Waldek,

two questions concerning the axiom-aldor interface:

1) do you think you could already

incorporate a preliminary version of the build script into the FriCAS
distribution so that building the interface (should) become easier.

2) is the patch to 'hashType' already in FriCAS, or do I have to apply it
myself?

many thanks,

Martin
