Compiling TeXmacs under Windows

1.Download and build the environment

• In order to compile TeXmacs under Windows, you need to install MSYS2.

• On Windows Intel/AMD, open the terminal named ”MSYS2 MINGW64”. On Windows ARM, open the terminal named “MSYS2 CLANGARM64”.

• Update MSYS2 :

  pacman -Syu

  Note: You may need to relaunch the terminal after the update.

• Install subversion :

  pacman -S subversion

• Download the builder :

  svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/texmacs/trunk/misc/builder

• Run the builder (this may take a few hours) :

  cd builder
  ./script/build

• The builder will create a /windows-qt6 directory with all the built dependencies.

2.Build and run TeXmacs

• Source the environment

  cd /windows-qt6
  source set-devel-paths

• If you wish to reconfigure, rebuild TeXmacs entierly, and make a package, run :

  mingw32-make texmacs

  • texmacs/distr contains all the final installers and binaries

  • texmacs/src contains the sources

• If you edited some sources, and want to build texmacs, go to the source directory and run a make :

  cd texmacs/src
  mingw32-make

• Inside the source directory, you can also get and build the latest commit using :

  svn up
  mingw32-make

• You can test the compiled binaries by runnig :

  ./TeXmacs/bin/texmacs.bin
