Greetings All!


Has anyone successfully got maximus on linux? We have tried most 32 and 64 bit versions tried solving dependincy complaints and still cannot get make max or make install to complete...

The build worked with a few modifications, but I haven't tested if it works. I will push it to github tomorrow.

Thanks again

this does compile on my machine:

git clone -b max https://github.com/fidosoft/maximus
cd maximus
../configure
make max


If it's still not building maybe there are some build dependencies missing. I also don't know if the executable is fully functional or buggy. I'm not a C coder and I haven't tested it.

Thanks for doing that... yeah it built and installed but segfault everywhere.. oh well it was worth the try... segfault probably take forever to diagnose...

On 32 or 64 bit?

Did it use MEX?

Maybe I did something stupid in the code. I'm still convinced it's not hard to get it work with a recent gcc for a C coder with some experience. At least it did work with gcc 3.x (according to the READMEs).
