FriCAS0 is maintained by oldk1331: https://github.com/oldk1331/fricas0
Tested so far:
git clone https://github.com/nilqed/fricas0.git cd fricas0 ecl -load fricas sbcl --load fricas java -jar abcl.jar --load fricas
Note: for SBCL, you can compile the interp directory before loading fricas.
This can improve speed greatly.
sbcl --load lisp/load-lisp.lisp --load lisp/compile-interp.lisp --eval "(exit)"
The first time - when the interpreter is loaded - you have to compile the algebra:
)lisp (load "lisp/compile-algebra.lisp")
Since each of the above mentioned Common Lisp flavours compile to a different
format (ecl -> .fas, sbcl -> .fasl, abcl -> .abcl), you may use the same
fricas0 folder simultaneously.
| Platform / CL | SBCL | ECL | ABCL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 7 | 1.3.18 | 16.1.2 | 1.5 |
| Windows 10 | 1.3.10 | 16.1.2 | 1.5 |
| Cygwin64 | 16.1.2/3 | ||
| Ubuntu 16.04 | 1.4.1 | 15.3.7 | 1.5 |
| Android 7.0 / armv8l | 13.5.1 | ||
| WSL 10(bash/ubuntu 16) | 13.5.1 | 1.5 |
Note
Everything here is still considered experimental and not ready for
production. The goal is to provide a functional version of FriCAS
(i.e. no gui) with minimal build requirements, e.g. allowing usage as a
library in other systems as platform independent as possible.
On Ubuntu ECL 15.3.7 is provided via apt install ecl. You will
also need apt install libffi-dev, otherwise it won't compile. This
version is quite outdated and it might be advisable to compile the
latest version by yourself. The same holds for Android (arm).
On Android ECL works well under GNURoot. You certainly want to install
sshd in order to work from your desktop (use PuTTy on Windows).
A bug in ABCL 1.5 inhibits the compilation of three algebra files
(e.g. polyvec.lsp). At the moment these files are exluded by
#+:ABCL pragmas in compile-algebra.lisp.
GNU CLISP 2.49+ (2010-07-17) was also (+) tested on Cygwin64.
The current version is based on the official release FriCAS tarball
(version 1.3.2). The files in algebra are from the
pre-generated folder (unchanged) and the ones in interp are
translations from the boot code (original as well). Generally, no
original files were changed, only the new lisp files fricas,
fricas-abcl, interp and compile-algebra are newly added.
Warning
Windows users: If you encounter errors while loading the interpreter with a native CL (e.g. SBCL) it is probably caused by wrong line endings (checkout). See https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/
Ensure: git config core.autocrlf = true
A .gitatributes was added to prevent the change of the *.daase
and *.msgs files.
Initfile: It was reported by oldk1331 that certain entries in
~/.fricas.input may cause errors in SBCL. He suggests to
set export FRICAS_INITFILE="".
