On MacOS X with Aqua, impossible to compile
from source without errors :

1/ in glue.cpp, inside the functions scm_to_string()
and scm_to_symbol, the lines :
[[
guile_str_size_t len_r;
char* _r= scm_scm2str (s, &len_r);
...
guile_str_size_t len_r;
char* _r= scm_scm2symbol (s, &len_r);
]]
have a problem, the compiler doesn't automagically
accepts converting &len_r from size_t* to int* (at
least that's what it claims...).

Casting to (int*) enables compiling glue.cpp ;


2/ the makefile doesn't work, for the version of "ld"
shipped with Mac OS X on the machine I had doesn't
understands the "-rpath" option inside -lW (explicitely,
it tells me : I don't recognize "-rpath") ;


Don't know what to do (it was not my machine, I'm not
a Mac user). Perhaps some Mac user would be interested
in trying compiling TeXmacs from source, seeing if
the problems I describe arise, and if yes, applying
my (and perhaps some other ;-(... ) corrections,
then send a patch to Joris.

In any case, due to these problems, TeXmacs couldn't
compile from source on the Mac I had in front of me.


Best, Henri
