Based on a recent suggestion on fricas-devel, this patch allows to use double dashes for long options (option names with more than one letter). Furthermore, it introduces the options --help and --version. The --version option is programmed in such a way that neither FRICASsys nor sman are started.
Would be good if "fricas --version" would not only print "FriCAS 1.3.5", but also "based on SBCL 1.5.8" without calling FRICASsys or sman. Any suggestions? Would I have to fetch that information at install time by running FRICASsys --eval ')lisp (lisp-implementation-type)' --eval ')lisp (lisp-implementation-version)' --eval ")quit" and put it as variables into the fricas script? Current code is at the top commit of my long-options branch. https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/commits/long-options Ralf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
