debguy Edited 2025年04月29日Looks very cool, but is c++ and has problems COMPILING due to that. wxWidgets was hard to compile when i finally got 2.8.4 to compile (3.x would NEVER compile despite friendly portability claim) then attempted wxMaxima (tried 0.8.7 and 11.x) failed to build claiming c++ classes didn't have a widget that ended up a "win or mac only" #ifdef (after changing SetupToolBar in wxMaxima it seemed ok X11). I compiled both a few ways (it at first refused __MOTIF__ widget set highly buildfail gtk so tried x11) and the several builds ended with SEGFAULTS binary (after displaying a ?splash? screen) but strace doesn't show anything relevant. After grappling a little, i found MAC WIN is more a support focus than Linux and wxExecute does NOT start maxima (likely some c+++ c_string junk or improper fork dup streams for linux), and motif support is ASSERTED incorrectly 2x (motif now works but colors are illegible...). had couple other minor issues. Finally, with a hack to start maxima manually ;) got it to do 2+2 but got 22+2=24 (keyboard issues) and cannot try else because keyboard is stuck on all caps (motif). It works but Wow if you are hoping this "multi-platform" in linux to compile easy don't? I then tried wxWidget-3.2.5 (x11 motif segfault with wxmaxima, but GTK added no build problems and wxmaxima likes it) + wxmaxima-16.12.2. with several work arounds (and starting maxima by hand again) it seems to work: HOWEVER - the integrals are rendered overlapping on text (until window bumped then they fix). I can cut & paste output (which pastes as text input form), which is good. I CANNOT put a cursor in the fancy output or edit it as I can in TeXmacs-[1.0.5, 1.99.18]-src. Unsure if my build failed or that's just the state of affairs. 16.12 Greek palette has only non-greek symbols - icu40 (unicode) changes numbers perhaps app did not use string lookup table or perhaps i have some other issue like pcere2-8. wxplot is icon size cannot be seen or enlarged. I didn't notice until later Newer versions are on GIT not here - and those now require non-gnu build and perhaps ubu, idk yet, but in wxmaxima-25.0.4 i see no list of detection of required libs in CMakelist: confirmed - CMakelist cannot find wxWidgets (but 16 did) - it's ubuntu only clickbait now. 16.12 is best ver, a bit of a pain, but I like the look of the project had fun.

mamboze Edited 2021年06月03日This is an excellent CAS. I initially installed the appimage version but this had a screen flicker problem which made it unusable. So my current version is the one available for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic). This works very well on Linux Mint 19.3. I like the Wxmaxima work space which is very similar in layout to Jupyter Notebooks. A very productive work environment IMO. Many thanks to the Maxima and Wxmaxima developers. You guys have done an fantastic job.

shar136 Edited 2017年04月07日This application is awesome, you can enter your symbolic equations, see them nicely formatted and printed and modify and manipulate them. Quick and easy to install, and nice and responsive. If you want to paste an equation into a Word processor, you can right click and copy MathML. So thank you and awesome work you guys! I am not aware of any other free application which does this, except for Sage. Sage is probably more powerful but requires a linux environment or virtual box (fine with that) so it is not as easy to obtain or set up. Sage does not have a graphic user interface by default, although it does have the Notebook web page option. The Notebook is similarly a number of cells, and can show plots and so on. It does have an option to TypeSet the display, which shows the equations as nicely formatted as you see in wxMaxima. But I think wxMaxima is a little more responsive and easier to get out of the box. Also if you recall a file, you can continue working at the bottom, whereas with a Sage notebook, you need to reevaluate everything first every time.1 user found this review helpful.
