Sounds like you've found fun tasks for yourself, Adriweb: making a Ndless Lua extension out of giac, and building a a quick Lua GUI on top of it

And if the GUI gives easy access to the online help (like in Xcas, Index, where you have a short description of the command, and you can select an example to be copied in the commandline where you can modify it, or navigate to a related command) and menus (a suitable menu could be a submenu of Xcas menu, see attached file for the French version) it would be awesome. Embedded 2-d plots and/or programs is harder, probably a couple months of work.

Does Giac support UTF-16 input (and/or output)?

The parser uses UTF8 and prints UTF8 but there are conversion routines to UTF16 (utf82unicode and unicode2utf8)

This is indeed a perfect use case for Ndless Lua extensions. Prototyping and building UI with Lua and the TI-Nspire API is much easier.

Perfect. I might try something someday then.

Well, highly probably "no". Nspire C(++)-fluent people can do the Lua extension and sure, I can do the rest

It's actually nothing else than me being much better at Nspire Lua that at Nspire C(++) (I only made a hello world for 3.1

)
And for such a project, everyone only wants the best out of it

I'll start looking at ways to integrate the online help to a fork of Xavier's superspire code. I'm already familiar enough with it so diving in won't probably be an issue.

Edit : btw, when I have time, though.... :/

I haven't been following this that much lately, but does it use Newlib now?

→ **MyCalcs** profile · by **parisse** » 05 Apr 2014, 07:29

No, I did not try to compile with newlib, it's os.h+ustl+nspire-io+tommath.

Updated with RTTI enabled during compilation (I have removed -fno-rtti from the nspire-g++ script). It seems to work, at least finite field are now supported, for example GF(2,4).

Some news since last time ?

(BTW, Excale was trying to build giac for the Nspire, but couldn't make it. Are there any specific things to do ?
I guess he can reply himself to ask proper instructions ^^

Du nouveau depuis quelques semaines ?

(PS : Excale tentait de builder giac pour Nspire, sans succès si j'ai bien compris : y aurait-il des instructions particulières ?
Enfin, je le laisse répondre pour demander ce dont il aurait besoin en particulier ^^)

Edit : translated into english too.
