Arrrhhh. Well, yes, since about a month there is quietness, but you should rather track activity at https://github.com/pippijn/aldor. And if you have problems with OSX, then you should rather post them on the aldor-devel list instead of wasting your precious time. I've no Mac and so don't know whether aldor compiles there, but I'm pretty sure that Pippijn and Peter would like to make it work on all major platforms. >> Looking into themes/fricas-on-sbcl-theme.el shows me that you seem to >> rely on the fricas promt having the form >> (nnn) -> >> Probably OK, but I guess, it would be better to do similar to what >> Martin Rubey has done in the current underlying efricas mode, i.e. to >> use the hook mechanism of fricas to inject some special character >> sequences into the output so that finding the prompt would be more >> reliable.

Look here and the corresponding usage... https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas-svn/blob/master/contrib/emacs/fricas.el#L142 But maybe it's also interesting to look at how the TeXmacs people used that mechanism. https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas-svn/blob/master/src/etc/fricas#L114 Grep for ioHook in the fricas source tree. >> What would be cool... if editing .input files, it should be possible >> to type something like Ctrl-ENTER to send the current line to a fricas >> session.

This really should be the next thing I do... I'm not sure whether https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas-svn/blob/master/contrib/emacs/fricas.el#L777 would be doing this. But I'm sure, you can read the .el sources better than me. Best regards Ralf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
