[7]1Dear User:
2
[318]3This archive contains files which provide Grobner basis support for the
[338]4free computer algebra system Maxima.

6== INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ==
7
8In order to use the package,
[318]9 1. Copy the files in this directory to your favorite location;
10 or better, checkout the contents of this repository with SVN.
11 2. Edit the file "grobner.mac" to modify the location of the Lisp
12 files, to reflect your choice made in previous step.
13 3. Start your Maxima and load the file "grobner.mac"
14 4. Optionally, compile the Lisp files, so that the next file
15 you load "grobner.mac", the compiled (.fasl) versions of
[320]16 the files will be loaded. The compilation instructions
17 vary slightly depending on Lisp version.
[7]18
[318]19This version has been verified to work under this Maxima version:
[328]20
[318]21----------------------------------------------------------------
22Maxima 5.34.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
23using Lisp SBCL 1.2.4-1.fc21
24----------------------------------------------------------------
[7]25
[9]26It should also be portable across other ANSI Common Lisp implementations.
[8]27
[7]28The file grobner.demo is a Macsyma-style demo file for most of the operations
29provided by the package. In order to run it, go to the Maxima level and
30type:
31
32demo("grobner.demo");
33
34or
35
36batch("grobner.demo");
37
38and watch the demonstration.
39
40Maxima documentation for this package has not been written yet, but
41there is a sizable amount of documentation in the LISP source.
42
[330]43== COMPILATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SBCL ==
[7]44
[336]45=== When using ASDF (preferred way):
[321]46----------------------------------------------------------------
[320]47> (require :asdf)
48> (load "ngrobner.asd")
49> (asdf:install-system :ngrobner)
[321]50----------------------------------------------------------------
[334]51The compiled files (extension .fasl for SBCL) will be typically
52placed in a standard location determined by the ASDF configuration. On my system it is:
53----------------------------------------------------------------
54/home/marek/.cache/common-lisp/sbcl-1.2.4-1.fc21-linux-x64/home/marek/Repos/MaximaGrobner/branches/f4grobner/
55----------------------------------------------------------------
56given that the SVN repository was copied to /home/marek/Repos/MaximaGrobner.
[320]57
[334]58=== When not using ASDF (for whatever reason):
59
[332]60Step 1. Start SBCL in the directory which is a copy of this directory.
61Step 2. Execute Lisp commands:
[329]62----------------------------------------------------------------
63> (load "ngrobner-package.lisp")
64> (ngrobner::compile-ngrobner)
65----------------------------------------------------------------
[320]66
[335]67The resulting compiled files (extension .fasl for SBCL) will end up in
68the same folder as the Lisp files. Then can be moved any directory
69where Maxima can find them, as determined by the variable
70file_search_lisp. This variable needs to be modified in "grobner.mac"
71accordingly. After that, every time you load "grobner.mac" the
72compiled version will be used.
73
[330]74== ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ==
75
[319]76The files were derived the sources of a package CGBlisp, version 2,
77also authored by me, which will eventually be released at my Web site
78(see below). An older version of CGBlisp is available at the Web
79site.
[7]80
81Enjoy.
