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
