Standard builders for TeXmacs developers

TeXmacs developers may use the following download and build process for TeXmacs and its dependencies in order to be fully compatible with the main TeXmacs developers.

1.Under MacOS

Make sure that homebrew is installed on your system and install the following packages:

brew install pkgconfig subversion texinfo cmake

Now download the builder support from the official TeXmacs website and go the corresponding directory:

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

You may now build all dependencies of TeXmacs and then the latest SVN version of TeXmacs itself:

./scripts/build --os=macos-qt6

2.Under Linux (Ubuntu 24)

Make sure that the following packages are installed:

apt install subversion

Now download the builder support from the official TeXmacs website and go the corresponding directory:

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

You may now build all dependencies of TeXmacs and then the latest SVN version of TeXmacs itself:

./scripts/build --os=appimage

3.Windows

Make sure that msys2 together with the pacman tool is installed, launch mingw64 from the start menu and do the following

pacman -Syu

Then restart the terminal and do

pacman -S subversion

Now download the builder support from the official TeXmacs website and go the corresponding directory:

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

You may now build all dependencies of TeXmacs and then the latest SVN version of TeXmacs itself:

./scripts/build
