  • Target version changed from CoCoA-5.1.2 summer 2015 to CoCoA-5.1.3/4 Jan 2016

I have changed the target version for this issue; I suppose it is more or less permanent (i.e. has to be reconsidered for every release?)

I know it has been quite some time, but I have made some progress on this: Even the GUI works for me!
However, there are still some caveats and many tweaks one needs to make in CoCoA's sources.
Most prominently: The SignalWatcher needs to be pretty much completely disabled - however that is only the tip of the iceberg.
I will try to find cross-platform solutions for all the issues I encountered and let John know.
