Sage Experimental Packages

These are EXPERIMENTAL! They probably won't work at all for you! Use at your own risk! Many of these have *never* been successfully built on any platform! (But still, if you can figure out how to build them, I'd like to know about it.) These also may not be available under a GPL-compatible license.

To install one of these packages, type e.g., the following at the UNIX shell prompt:
        sage -i db-jones-2005-11-02
Note that the package name contains the version number, and it will be downloaded automatically if necessary.

bison-2.3.spkgSPKG.txt:
MAINTAINER:
    * William Stein


This package exists mainly because it's very easy to build, and it removes
a SAGE dependency.   It could be removed if bison were put back as a SAGE
dependency.  Building it causes nobody any trouble.

clapack-3.6.spkgSPKG.txt:
clisp-2.43.spkgSPKG.txt:
SOME NOTES:

* Made some changes to src/makemake.in so it would build on 
  IA-64 linux without crashing. 

0. The clisp path is hardcoded into the binary.  Strangely, this *does*
not affect maxima, though it means maxima won't build unless clisp was
built in place.  So one can't upgrade maxima without rebuilding clisp.
Hence whenever the maxima package is upgraded make sure to always upgrade
clisp.

Also there is an OPTIon to run clisp that avoids this hardcoding issue,
which we use.

1.  I replaced some documentation files by empty ones to save space:

cd doc
echo "" > impnotes.html
echo "" > mop-spec.pdf
echo "" > mop.xml
echo "" > impbody.xml
echo "" > impext.xml
echo "" > clhs-ent.xml
echo "" > impbyte.xml
echo "" > impent.xml

 Go to 
         http://clisp.cons.org/

 for complete documentation.

Same remarks for src/ChangeLog:

 cd src
 echo "">ChangeLog

2. I removed the ffcall directory which is quite large and only needed
for the foreign function interface, which we don't need for SAGE/Maxima.

3. I removed the tests directory.

-----------------------

4. In order to build Clisp on Cygwin, I had to do the following:
    1. add --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv to the ./configure options of spkg-install for clisp
    2. go into src/unix.d and make the following modification near the end of the file:  (this was only for version 2.40 -- not needed for 2.41)
    /* Interpretation of FILETIME structure: */
    #ifdef UNIX_CYGWIN32
      #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
      #include <windows.h>
      extern long time_t_from_filetime (const FILETIME * ptr);
      extern void time_t_to_filetime (time_t time_in, FILETIME * out);
 
      /* FIX BY GEZ */
      #if defined(UNIX_CYGWIN32)
        #ifdef WIN32
          #undef WIN32
        #endif
      #endif
      /* /FIX BY GEZ */
    #endif
 
windows.h defines WIN32 and that causes several items to be used in both UNIX and WIN32 forms later on.

-----------------

NOTE. I had included libsigsegv, but couldn't get it to build on OS X
      (the included config file seems way out of date...).

fes-0.1.spkgSPKG.txt:
This external library implements an efficient implement of exhaustive
search to solve systems of low-degree boolean equations. Exhaustive
search is asymptotically faster than computing a Groebner basis,
except in special cases. This particular implementation is
particularly efficient (in the good cases it tests 3 candidate
solutions per CPU cycle on each core).

flex-2.5.33.spkgSPKG.txt:

This package is just to eliminate flex as a dependency, which is reasonable
since it is trivial to build.

pynifti-p0.spkgSPKG.txt:
The PyNIfTI module is a Python interface to the NIfTI I/O libraries. Using PyNIfTI, one can easily read and write NIfTI and ANALYZE images from within Python. The NiftiImage class provides pythonic access to the full header information and for a maximum of interoperability the image data is made available via NumPy arrays.

PyMVPA is a Python module intended to ease pattern classification analyses of large datasets. In the neuroimaging contexts such analysis techniques are also known as decoding or MVPA analysis. PyMVPA provides high-level abstraction of typical processing steps and a number of implementations of some popular algorithms. While it is not limited to the neuroimaging domain, it is eminently suited for such datasets. PyMVPA is truly free software (in every respect) and additionally requires nothing but free-software to run.

QScintilla2-2.4.spkgSPKG.txt:
QScintilla is a port to Qt of Neil Hodgson's Scintilla C++ editor control. As well as features found in standard text editing components, QScintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts.
