Dear all,
It seems that maxima code blocks still does not work in windows as the
following code did not work when I tried to run it:
#+begin_src maxima
a: 1+1;
print(a);
#+end_src
This is an old issue already emailed to this emacs org-mode list in an
email dating from june 2011.
The conversation ended up with a final reflection which I copy next:

>

Trying to find the correct string that makes maxima execute the batch
file in windows I found that this command does work:
maxima --very-quiet -r
"batchload(\"c:/Users/alvaro/AppData/Local/Temp/babel-7740OHt/maxima-7740OpY.max\")$"
maxima --very-quiet -r
"batchload(\"c:/Users/alvaro/AppData/Local/Temp/babel-7740OHt/maxima-7740OpY.max\")$"
2
I tried to make this string when maxima is executed in the shell and
modifying ob-maxima.el found that this seems to work for windows 8,
emacs 24.4 and org 8.2.7b:
(let* ((cmdline (or (cdr (assoc :cmdline params)) ""))
(in-file (org-babel-temp-file "maxima-" ".max"))
(cmd (format "%s --very-quiet -r \"batchload(\\\"%s\\\")$\" %s"
org-babel-maxima-command in-file cmdline)))
The problem is that my lisp skills are not very good, to say the
least, and sending a patch is one more problem so I write this email
if this can help anybody to makemaxima code blocks work in windows.
Thanks,
Juan Alvaro

Ihor, you recently applied an alternative patch to Org main branch.
Emacs tree still has ob-maxima.el with single quotes around batchload.

Notice that code in the message you cited has "%s" and does not have
`shell-quote-argument'. Extra quotes may discard effect of existing
double pass escaping.

Really robust solution require a dedicated maxima option that allows to
pass file name as a separated argument instead of a part of expression,

Yes, OP should try this solution first. If it fails, then there is
some problem in `shell-quote-argument' that needs to be fixed.

To be clear. I believe that Mati should try the code from the Org "main"
branch, not the patch Ihor posted in this thread. If I got it correctly,
Mati currently has some problems with plots, ghostscript, etc.
Is there anything wrong with the following command (I am unsure
concerning Temp location)? If so, what is the proper escaping for
cmd.exe+maxima?
(let ((system-type 'ms-dos)
(org-babel-maxima-command "maxima")
(in-file "c:\\Temp\\maxima-XXXXXX.max")
(cmdline ""))
(message
"%s"
(format "%s --very-quiet -r %s$ %s"
org-babel-maxima-command
(shell-quote-argument
(format "batchload(%S)" in-file))
cmdline)))
maxima --very-quiet -r "batchload(\"c:\\Temp\\maxima-XXXXXX.max\")"$
(there is a trailing space)

Thanks for pointing this out!
I do not use Windows, so it is hard to check how things are there. I
assumed that the report herein is not the latest main, which may or may
not be the case.

Should the $ not be within the quotes?

Does "$" have any special meaning in cmd.exe? I do not mind that it
should be inside `format' first argument.
I do not have a Windows machine to test and not motivated enough to try
Emacs in wine.
P.S. To avoid tricky escaping I strongly prefer direct exec to shell
commands. Unfortunately as soon as TRAMP is involved, shell is the only
option. Ssh supports command strings only and passes them to shell.
