Compiling Qt-TeXmacs under Windows

1.Downloading dependencies

Create a directory where to download external software, such as C:\download, and download

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.4.3-mingw.exe
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.2.4.tar.bz2
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.3.7.tar.gz
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.4.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/misc/guile.patch
ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/fonts/TeXmacs-windows-fonts-1.0-noarch.tar.gz

2.Install Qt and MinGW

Install Qt 4.4.3 (by executing qt-win-opensource-4.4.3-mingw.exe) at the standard location C:\Qt\4.4.3. During the installation process, you will be prompted whether you want to install MinGW. Answer yes, and install MinGW at the standard location c:\MinGW.

3.Install Msys

Install Msys 1.0.10 (by executing MSYS-1.0.10.exe) at the standard location C:\msys\1.0. Also install the additional developer toolkit (by executing msysDTK-1.0.10.exe). During the installation process, you will be prompted for the location c:\MinGW of MinGW.

4.Install simple dependencies

• Launch an Msys shell for MinGW.
• Create the directories /usr/local and /usr/local/src for installing and building the dependencies.
• Add /usr/local/bin to your PATH.
• Decompress and untar the sources for libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz, gmp-4.2.4.tar.gz and freetype-2.3.7.tar.gz.
• Perform standard configure, make, make install procedure (with –prefix=/usr/local).

5.Install Guile

• Decompress and untar the sources for guile-1.8.4.tar.gz.
• Apply the the patch guile.patch.

• Perform standard configure, make, make install, using the following configure command:

  ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ CPPFLAGS="-L/usr/local/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

6.Prepare TeXmacs

• Download the latest Svn sources of TeXmacs, say at ~/texmacs/src.
• Copy TeXmacs-windows-fonts-1.0-noarch.tar.gz to ~/texmacs/src/TeXmacs and decompress the fonts there.

• Uncomment the line

  (debug-set! stack 1000000)

  in ~/texmacs/src/TeXmacs/progs/kernel/boot/compat.scm.

7.Compile TeXmacs

• Set the paths

  export TEXMACS_PATH=$HOME/texmacs/src/TeXmacs/ export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/guile/1.8/ export TEXMACS_PWD=$HOME export PATH=$TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH

• Perform standard configure, make, make install, using the following configure command:

  ./configure \ --enable-qt \ --prefix=/usr/local/ \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \ GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/share/guile/1.8/"

• Run

  texmacs
