In order to use the Polymake interface in Singular, Singular needs to be build from sources.
Please check the readme file for installation instructions.
After having built Singular with Polymake interface, start Singular in the system folder
(e.g. x86_64-Linux). You can load the polymake interface via
LIB "polymake.so";
Note:
A working installation of the newest polymake version, version 2.12, is needed.
Some procedures will not work unless the required third-party software is installed.
For more detailed information please consult the polymake homepage.
