New Linux and macOS build (20220721)

Built on Mac OS X 10.6 and Debian 8. Only typesetting issues in various PDF books are fixed, in addition to previous binary releases.

linux-may2017 unofficial release

This Axiom Linux binary distribution is built on Debian 8 (x86_64) and confirmed working on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It should support a wide range of other Linux distributions. Fixed Issues: #1 #5

To repeat my building process, get a Debian 8 x86_64 VM, with necessary packages installed (see Axiom official web site), then the following shell commands (suppose we are currently in Axiom source directory):

export AXIOM=`pwd`/mnt/linux
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
make PLF=LINUXplatform

(The key is "linux" in mnt/linux and PLF=LINUXplatform, they are pre-defined and cannot be arbitrarily chosen.)

MACOSX-may2017-2

This new unofficial binary release is built on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with MacTeX 2016 (and GCC 4.2). It should support all macOS versions since 10.6 and is confirmed working on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalian) and macOS 11.6.7 (Big Sur).

One minor issue is also fixed here, see #1.

MACOSX-may2017

This unofficial binary release is built on Mac OS X 10.11 with MacTeX 2017. It should support all macOS versions since 10.11.x and is confirmed working on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalian) and macOS 11.6.7 (Big Sur).

To install, first extract the tarball and put the resulting "axiom" folder (it can be renamed) somewhere in your filesystems, e.g. $HOME/axiom. And then set the following environment variables:

export AXIOM=$HOME/axiom/mnt/MACOSX
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH

To start Axiom, simply run axiom command in your terminal. (XQuartz is required for starting up the graphical help system.)
