Create a Windows installer for wxMaxima only (not combined with Maxima, Gnuplot, ...).
This repository is used to crosscompile a wxMaxima installer for Windows on Linux. Similar to the procedure for Maxima, but only a wxMaxima-only installer (not combined with Maxima, Gnuplot, ...)
The following options are possible:
-DBUILD_64BIT=NO (by default a 64 bit installer will be build)
-DBUILD_WXMAXIMA_GIT=YES (by default the installer will download a wxMaxima release.
(Version number / MD5 download checksum are defined in the main CMakeLists.txt.
The wxWidgets version is can be changed in wxwidgets/CMakeLists.txt
-DWITH_WXMAXIMA_SOURCE=<path-to-source>
Set the path to the (local) wxMaxima sourcecode tree, which will be used instead of
a release or the current Git version.
To build a installer, run:
mkdir build
cd build
# the Cmake call maybe with some of the options above,
# maybe omit "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" if you want debug symbols.
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
make package
You will need the g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 (crosscompiler).
To create a "Release"-Build (higher optimization, no debug info (smaller executable)), use
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release <path-to-source>
instead.
The MinGW compiler comes in two flavors for threading (win32 and posix threads). wxMaxima requires posix threads, so you must reconfigure mingw and select the posix version, on Debian/Ubuntu Linux using:
update-alternatives --set x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix
