archlinux needed a CAS ... someone built maxima ... good choice ... thanx for that

(would be nice if someone manages to build scilab and yacas)

as i dont like to work with a CAS in a console, becasue the expressions dont look really nice, i built texmacs

as i have a little crazy installation of tetex on my laptop, can someone check if texmacs works on a normally installed arch 0.5 with the original tetex ? thank you (for me it works, and i suppose it works also in general, but i'm not sure, and want to be sure before it comes in the repositories)

I tested the packaging and installing starting from Your PKGBUILD script and it mostly went fine, TeXmacs started and could open Maxima session just fine. The only odd thing about the installation procedure was a couple of error messages:

[root@okaapi jan]# pacman -S texmacs

Targets: texmacs-1.0.1.23-1

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

:: Retrieving packages from custom...
 texmacs-1.0.1.23-1.pkg.t [/home/pkgs/                        ] 100% |   LOCAL


loading package data... texmacs: syntax error in description file line 6
texmacs: syntax error in description file line 7
texmacs: syntax error in description file line 8
done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
installing texmacs... done.

Too long description? Or is it my mistake when copying the PKGBUILD and introducing some extra CR symbols?

the

is one line ... if you copy this out of this forum, you must remove the CRs ... if you download my package from incoming, you can find, that there the PKGBUILD has no CRs there

about the length of description ... i dont know how to make it shorter, but keep the information you need --- and the pkgdesc has no length-limit, as i know

anyway: thanx a lot for testing

HI!!

I wrote a scilab-pkgbuid. But it doesn´t work right. i have to edit the startupscript after installation.
I used the Linux-bin.
Maybe it will be usefull for you. i don´t write an offical thread, because the PKGBUILD isn´t very usefull without editing the startscript.

pkgname=scilab
pkgver=3.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications."
url="http://www.scilab.org"
license=""
depends=()
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=('scilab.install')
source=('http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/download/stable/scilab-3.0.bin.linux-i686.tar.gz')
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/
  cp -R scilab-3.0 ../pkg/opt/
}

post_install() {
/bin/true
ln -sf /opt/scilab-3.0/bin/scilab /usr/bin/scilab

}


post_upgrade() {
/bin/true
}

pre_remove() {
/bin/true
rm /usr/bin/scilab
}

op=$1
shift

$op $*

After installation you have to change SCI-Variable (SCI=...) in /opt/scilab-3.0/bin/scilab!!
In the original file the SCI-Variable shows to the build-directorie of the author.

#############################################################################
#                                                                           #
#                       DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE                       #
#                                                                           #
#############################################################################
# if test "$SCI" = ""; then
  SCI="/opt/scilab-3.0"
# fi
export SCI

So as you see it is not perfect (also my english isn´t it ). But it works for me.

I have made a PKGBUILD to make scilab from source. It needs the GNU fortran compiler. Both packages/PKGBUILD are available at: http://www.astro.umontreal.ca/~belanger/archlinux
