The update to v14.0.0 has been uploaded. A list of new features can be found in Wolfram's blog.

If there are any issues with this PKGBUILD, please let me know in a commment below.

Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:

  • mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.
  • mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.

i.e. this is how the last line of the .desktop file looks like:

Categories=Science;Math;NumericalAnalysis;DataVisualization;StartupWMClass=Mathematica;

@JP-Ellis I think that line 144 should have a \n at the end of the printf statement, since you have two of them appending text to the .desktop file. Otherwise, it will print a single line with both entries(which broke the parsing of mathematica's Categories for a program on my system, which is how I realised this).

@MagHSK and @defty Mathematica has really poor support of non-ASCII characters. I suspect it is something to do with that? Unfortunately I really don't know how this can be fixed.

@MagHSK I'm getting the same issue, not sure why.

Why all the buttons showing $Failed in my install?

Wolfram got back to me about the Graphics3D issues with poor font rendering and Opacity. As previously mentioned, a workaround is to use the -mesa option when starting Mathematica (which renders on the CPU and is thus slow) or using an Nvidia GPU. (I don't know about AMD?) They also gave me a nicer workaround for the Opacity issue: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/236975/36317

Here's a PKGBUILD for 12.2.0 https://pastebin.com/raw/Fy1t961P I haven't noticed any regressions. Unfortunately, the Graphics3D issues with poor font rendering and Opacity making things invisible haven't been fixed. (I contacted Wolfram about these issues today, so hopefully they'll be fixed in a later version.)

@tuxzz This is a known issue. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no easy fix. For a not so easy fix, check this: https://www.csslayer.info/wordpress/fcitx-dev/a-case-study-how-to-compile-a-fcitx-platforminputcontext-plugin-for-a-proprietary-software-that-uses-qt-5/ Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself.

JP-Ellis commented on 2020-09-28 12:27 (UTC)

@tuxzz I've never used Fcitx or fcitx5. From what I could find, they are meant to add support for inputting non-ASCII characters? If that's the case, then I doubt that will ever work because Mathematica simply does not support unicode very well. It only added unicode support in v12, and even then it's very limited and you cannot input non-ASCII characters without using the special syntax they use.

@defty

Indeed you don't need most optional dependencies. Mathematica has such a broad scope that including every dependency seems like overkill (especially if one wants to install Mathematica without needing the GUI).

As the the error you're getting, I'm not really sure what might be causing it.
