1Dear User:
2
3This archive contains files which provide Grobner basis support for the
4free computer algebra system Maxima. In order to use the package,
5 1. Copy the files in this directory to your favorite location;
6 or better, checkout the contents of this repository with SVN.
7 2. Edit the file "grobner.mac" to modify the location of the Lisp
8 files, to reflect your choice made in previous step.
9 3. Start your Maxima and load the file "grobner.mac"
10 4. Optionally, compile the Lisp files, so that the next file
11 you load "grobner.mac", the compiled (.fasl) versions of
12 the files will be loaded. The compilation instructions
13 vary slightly depending on Lisp version.
14
15This version has been verified to work under this Maxima version:
16
17----------------------------------------------------------------
18Maxima 5.34.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
19using Lisp SBCL 1.2.4-1.fc21
20----------------------------------------------------------------
21
22It should also be portable across other ANSI Common Lisp implementations.
23
24The file grobner.demo is a Macsyma-style demo file for most of the operations
25provided by the package. In order to run it, go to the Maxima level and
26type:
27
28demo("grobner.demo");
29
30or
31
32batch("grobner.demo");
33
34and watch the demonstration.
35
36Maxima documentation for this package has not been written yet, but
37there is a sizable amount of documentation in the LISP source.
38
39== COMPILATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SBCL ==
40
41When using ASDF:
42----------------------------------------------------------------
43> (require :asdf)
44> (load "ngrobner.asd")
45> (asdf:install-system :ngrobner)
46----------------------------------------------------------------
47
48When not using ASDF (for whatever reason):
49
50Step 1. Start SBCL in the directory which is a copy of this directory.
51Step 2. Execute Lisp commands:
52----------------------------------------------------------------
53> (load "ngrobner-package.lisp")
54> (ngrobner::compile-ngrobner)
55----------------------------------------------------------------
56The resulting compiled files (extension .fasl for SBCL) can be
57placed in any directory where Maxima can find them. Then
58modify "grobner.mac" to reflect this, and every time
59you load "grobner.mac" the compiled version will be used.
60
61== ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ==
62
63The files were derived the sources of a package CGBlisp, version 2,
64also authored by me, which will eventually be released at my Web site
65(see below). An older version of CGBlisp is available at the Web
66site.
67
68Enjoy.
