Not working here, 2 errors (+1 now)

The interface starts and works here but maxima does not start. I found 2 errors:

1)Uncompress:
\MaximaPortable\App\Maxima\lib\maxima\5.21.0\binary-gcl\maxima.exe
For some reason it does not like being compress and you save nearly no space compressing it.

2)In:
PortableApps\MaximaPortable\App\Maxima\bin\maxima.bat

Change the line:
set maxima_prefix=C:\PROGRA~2\Maxima
to
set maxima_prefix=%~dp0%..

It should then be working

Apart from that, great work

EDIT: Also found this in you xmaxima launcher
settings\.xmaximarc=%USERPROFILE%
I believe should be
settings\.xmaximarc=%DOCUMENTS%

1. Hmm, that's odd. It works

1. Hmm, that's odd. It works for me, I'll look into it after class.

2. Wouldn't that never be set from the .bat file anyway, since it is set in the launcher? Doesn't it first check if it's set before setting it? (Though, I'll take a look at this too.)

3. What version of Windows are you using? For me, the .xmaximarc file is put into "C:\Users\Kenny Williams" which is %USERPROFILE%. Where is it placed for you?

Does not work here

Up to now I only tried it on my work PC, XP SP2 with "My Documents" mapped on a network drive H:

1.] Seems to crash on startup if 2.] is implemented
2.] I think it is set by the launcher then overwritten by the BAT file. If not corrected, here maxima does not start. I guess it can't find it.
3.] for me the file ends up in "My Documents"

Will try at home later today

1.] Confirmed. 2.] Confirmed,

1.] Confirmed.

2.] Confirmed, only some of the other paths are checked for in the .bat file. MAXIMA_PREFIX is set regardless.

3.] Cannot reproduce. It's still %USERPROFILE% for me, and Gringoloco tested it on XP SP3 and it's put in %USERPROFILE% for him as well.

A quicky... Bad news... Other than the usual Windows crap, these were left on XP SP2 system:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"ShowTips"="dword:01000000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"tipNum"="dword:01000000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"pos-x"="dword:28000000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"pos-y"="dword:28000000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"pos-w"="dword:B6030000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima]
"pos-h"="dword:8A020000"

As for files, it's clean.

My posts are old and likely no longer relevant.

There has to be something

There has to be something wrong with XP SP2, as there have been a lot of problems lately with it. I thought this was fixed though.

These should not be left behind, as I have this in the launcher:

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
wxMaxima=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxMaxima

EDIT: I just looked in the PA.c Launcher thread, and it was aamiel who originally reported this (with Maxima), but it was supposedly fixed. I'll have to talk to Chris about this.

Plans for update

Since this release, Maxima has gone thourough a few iterations. They do not change the way the launcher works.

Any plan to update?

I haven't updated because I wanted to fix a few things first (add language switching, etc.), but since I've been so busy I just might have to update the base app only.

In Maxima.bat, you forgot to change the line to:

set maxima_prefix=%~dp0%.. as detailed above.

For some reason, it is not working here, wxMaxima does start fine, but not Maxima itself.
By changing maxima.bat by hand as indicated, everything works fine

How very odd.

Works perfectly for me (just tested again). I'll take a look at it later. Maybe I'll add code into the maxima.bat file to check if it's already set, otherwise use set maxima_prefix=%~dp0%.. (like it does with the image and temp directories).

I wanted to avoid having to customize any code in the App\Maxima directory in case I forgot to save it through updates, but it looks like I might have to.

Could you do a clean install, run XMaxima, and copy+paste the folder url from the window?

The URL is

file:/G:/PORTAB~1/MAXIMA~1/APP/MAXIMA/share/maxima/523~1.2/xmaxima/INTRO~1.HTM

And then Maxima does not start.

I think that maybe your launcher sets the environment variable to the right value but that it is then overwritten by the maxima.bat script.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

odd.

I believe XMaxima uses maxima_prefix to find that directory (you can test it, I'm not 100%), which is the correct path. Which makes it even more odd that it doesn't work.

still has a small issue

Simply

set maxima_prefix=%~dp0..

is still with a subtle problem: it can cause .. to be inserted into some file searching list that can't be correctly interpreted by maxima.

What we need here is retrieve the literal value of the batch's parent folder. IMO the following is better:

pushd %~dp0..
set maxima_prefix=%cd%
popd

Sigh.

Maxima is not my friend at all. I've realized that it worked for me before because I had installed a local copy, so now I understand why it doesn't work. However, there appears to be a bug in Windows 7 such that %dp0.. won't work if there's a space in the path. I commented out that line in maxima.bat and left it to the launcher, but it still doesn't work.

That's %~dp0 right? And did you try "quoting" it?

In this post I assume you mean %~dp0, not %dp0, if you used %dp0 you could try %~dp0 ;).
The Batch interpreter simply replaces %~dp0 with the path, exactly as it is, thus if the Batch file that's running is X:\Path To\Folder\file.bat and the line of the Batch file is command %~dp0 then the line read to the Command Prompt will be command X:\Path To\Folder\ and command will think you are giving it two parameters 1st X:\Path and 2nd To\Folder, and this will confuse alot of programs, so you should quote the %~dp0 like so command "%~dp0" and since DOS (and Windows' "Command Prompt") understands that anything between quotes is all one thing, command should now realize that it's getting one parameter of "X:\Path To\Folder\".

Note: I have noticed that some commands don't like the \ on the end of %~dp0 paths, so if you can figure out how to make it ignore the last letter (preferably without copying it to another environment variable and then using it) I'd appreciate that.

Yes, sorry.

I used %~dp0.. (quoting also didn't work).

As for your note, %cd% should do what %~dp0 does without the last \ (though I haven't tried it and I'm done for today).

%cd% may be incorrect

%cd% refers to the working directory, whereas %0 refers to the batch file under execution.

That's exactly why I don't want to keep using %CD%, currently I've got a couple of Batch files which I have shortcuts to, just so that I can set the "Start In:" option for the shortcut and have %CD% point to the right location. ugh :(.

@ScriptDaemon: I'm sorry I apparently couldn't be of much help to you on this one.

Ditch the Batch?

Any way you can just ditch the batch and do it all in PAL, possibly with custom code? I know a couple other apps use batch files locally for launching but we just use code instead.

But it's not PAL that launches the batch script, it's wxMaxima and XMaxima.

PAL -> wxMaxima.exe/xmaxima.exe -> maxima.bat -> maxima.exe

So have PAL handle it

If that's the case, can you have PAL launch maxima.exe directly? And if not, how about a custom NSIS script to handle the bits in the .bat that don't work right.

If I launch maxima.exe directly, then it won't launch wxMaxima or XMaxima. Is there a way to tell wxMaxima.exe to stop calling maxima.bat and let PAL handle it instead? (I wouldn't think so though, because I think maxima.exe has to be a child process of wxMaxima.exe.)

The only part that doesn't work right is setting the maxima_prefix env var, which I try to handle with PAL by commenting out that line and setting it in the env var section of the launcher.ini file.

Yet it doesn't, which is why I'm having difficulties. I'll take another look at it and if I still can't figure it out I'll .zip it up and see if anyone else has any ideas.

EDIT: When launching Xmaxima, a console and a browser is loaded. The browser shows things like help files I guess, but the interesting thing is that it points to the correct file, yet maxima.exe still doesn't want to connect.

Update The bat

You could update the .bat using the FileWriteN in config mode and give it a full path each time. That would do it.

Nope.

Still not working. Tried in paths with and without spaces, and checked the .bat file and it is indeed edited correctly.

EDIT: Here is a link to the current version. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1442139/MaximaPortable.zip Maybe having others take a look at it will help pinpoint the problem.

EDIT 2: Oops, when I copied it from one directory to another, not everything copied (the cmd.exe process was still hanging). Should be okay now.

A small edit

Comparing your version with the previous working version, I found that in "maxima.bat" on the first line removing "rem" makes it work

rem @echo off

becomes

@echo off

Don't ask me why though...

I commented that out when I was debugging. And now it does work (albeit only from a directory with no spaces, but that's Maxima's problem).

I'll package this up later today. There are some other things I want to try getting to work in this.

I'll try it when I get out of class. I still don't think that's the issue though. When commenting out that line entirely and leaving it to PAL, the maxima_prefix variable is what it should be, and it still hangs for some reason.

%PAL:AppDir%

I just realized that you're using PAL, so you could probably use %PAL:AppDir%\Maxima.
So I'll suggest that you try that:

set maxima_prefix=%PAL:AppDir%\Maxima

This release should actually work now (=P).

Maxima doesn't support paths with spaces after all, and I figured out what mistake I made last time to make me think that it did.

It took so long for a release because I tried to get language switching to work. Understanding the VB script it uses (for whatever reason) a little better, it appears to look at the LANG environment variable, however wxMaxima appears to always override it so I can never change it even with PAL. I'll have to dig deeper.

Thanks

Thanks for all the hard work. It seems to be working fine here, but I don't use language switching and I have no spaces in my path(like, I guess, most of the PAf platform installations).

Rotating a function graph

I'm working on a project that requires me to graph a function (i.e. y = x^2), then rotate that graph around a specified line (i.e x = 4). Something like this is exactly what I need my final result to be.

Keeping in mind that I'm on Windows, so gnuplot_pipes isn't available, do you know if I can do this with Maxima? If Maxima can't, do you know of a tool that can do this? I know Maple and Mathematica can, since I have the Mathematica source code for the movie I linked to above, but I can't figure out a way to have Maxima or another portable, OSS app do the same thing.

I see you did a great job here.

Thanks for your time.

Updated.

Sorry for the (very) late update.

With this release, I have removed the Xmaxima GUI entirely as we are moving away from multi-app packages. However, with this leaves one thing to question: Should this remain Maxima Portable, or instead should I change the app ID entirely to wxMaxima Portable? Thoughts?

Thanks for the update!

if you asking me, i think you need to change it to wxMaxima.
the purpose of the wxMaxima, it to take maxima, and add her another GUI.
and i assume you taking the project from here:
http://andrejv.github.io/wxmaxima/

so in short answer it will be: wxMaxima

This was taken from Maxima's sourceforge site. wxMaxima is bundled with Maxima.

Sorry for the late response,

Sorry for the late response, this was buried in my emails.

What exactly are you seeing when this occurs? Have you tested against the base application installed separately?

I've tested using gnuplot as the plot format, and I do indeed receive a pop-up message stating that the program can't load correctly. Does this happen to you using the base app as well, or just the portable app?

It could be an issue of not finding the path, as they a script to load the environment that I bypass in the launcher, so it's possible I left something out. I should be able to take a look at this sometime this week, hopefully, to verify and fix.

I have tested the portable

I have tested the portable version on my personnal laptop (win8.1) and it creates wxplot without issue.
The base one is working too.

Same commands on my professional laptop (win7) and it crash. Can't install the base one here.
I get a window saying "wgnuplot.exe has stopped working" with 2 options "check online for solution and close the program" or "close the program.

Here are the problems details:

Wondering if it is a compatibility issue between my win7 version and wgnuplot.
When I tried to launch wgnuplot under the maxima folder ... it crashes too.
What ever the compatibility options I choose ... crash

???

Still on todo

Sorry about the lack of activity on this. I've been busy with a new job and getting close to my move date.

Just thought I'd let you know that this might be a little delayed (more than it already has, I suppose).

Updated to Maxima 5.37.3

For some reason, the gui during the first launch is screwed up. I'll have to look into this a little more to find out what's causing that.

Other than that, this seems to work for me so I hope any previous issues have been resolved.

Hello,

What version of Windows are you using?

Have you tried installing Maxima directly (i.e. not using the portable version)?

If so, did you experience the same error?

Thank you.
