[Axiom-developer] Local MathAction

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Last night, I followed the steps at

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/InstallingMathAction

with some modifications. After

     cp /home/AxiomW/latexwiki/LatexWiki/texbreaker* .

I had to add

     cp /home/AxiomW/latexwiki/LatexWiki/useproto.h .

because that file was missing for the compilation.
I also have no Reduce, so I commented out the Reduce related things 
(only the line numbers were a bit different).

In /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/axiomWrapper.py I've changed

    cmdLine = 'export AXIOM=/usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux; export 
PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH; export ALDORROOT=/usr/local/aldor/linux/1.0.2; 
export PATH=$ALDORROOT/bin:$PATH; export HOME=/var/lib/plone2/main; 
AXIOMsys < %s' %(axiomFileName)

to

    cmdLine = 'export AXIOM=/home/hemmecke/software/Axiom/mnt/linux; 
export ALDORROOT=/home/hemmecke/software/Aldor/aldor/linux/1.0.2; 
PATH=$ALDORROOT/bin:$AXIOM/bin:$PATH; AXIOMsys < %s' %(axiomFileName)

(everything on just one line)

I had no idea what to do with HOME since there is no /var/lib/plone2 on 
my system.

texbreaker.mak is ...

swig -python texbreaker.i
gcc -fpic -c texbreaker.c texbreaker_wrap.c -I/usr/include/python2.3
ld -shared texbreaker.o texbreaker_wrap.o -o _texbreaker.so

I had to install swig (www.swig.org). Fortunately there was a Debian 
package.

I also had to
gcc -fpic -c texbreaker.c texbreaker_wrap.c -I/usr/include/python2.2
instead of
gcc -fpic -c texbreaker.c texbreaker_wrap.c -I/usr/include/python2.3

Everything worked fine up to here. But which URL should I write into 
firefox in order to now browse MathAction locally? I somehow fear that 
the webpages are not yet on my computer. Where is the MathAction FrontPage?

Any hints?

Another question... I have the Axiom sources from 
http://axiom-developer.org/archive/axiom. Would that be the same as
"darcs get http://page.axiom-developer.org/repository/axiom";?
