Hi Greg,
I understand your wish.
$./configure --enable-gmp --enable-aldor --enable-webspad --with-lisp='ros run'
First of all, "--enable-webspad" has not made it into the current
official repo. And it probably never will.
After Waldek suggested the HSBCL idea, There is no need for --webspad
anymore. At the time I wrote these patches, I thought to include
webspad.lisp into the official fricas repo. But now essential parts of
it, namely interpret_block, the modified mathprintWithNumber and
*OBEY-STDOUT* are in official FriCAS, only hunchentoot was needed. So
the jFriCAS code is relatively orthogonal to FriCAS and can be
considered as just another interface similar to efricas and frimacs.
What actually could be done was a "service" option or script with the
meaning of downloading hsblc-1.3.9.tar, compiling it into a temporary
directory and then using it in the actual build of FriCAS.
To automate this, would certainly make the user experience better.
Whether this should be done at configure time or in a script earlier to
that is a matter of taste. Doable, but I am afraid it will not be done
in this release. We have the documentation that I mentioned in the last
mail and that must suffice for now. Maybe some more people "fight" for a
better solution, but I am happy that jFriCAS is not officially supported
so that with a "mild" user effort it can be installed.
Ralf
