The problem probably is not with your windows setting for cygwin. You cannot compile texmacs from source without an acceptable C compiler in cygwin. Perhaps you should fix that problem first.

Try installing gcc as shown in this web page:

Best

Thank you Kadga and Alfe.
Installing gcc seems to be difficult. So before i do it i have to tell you something. When i have installed cygwin (following http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html) i didn't execute the operation #5 below
5. Put c:\cygwin at the start of the PATH environment variable and 127.0.0.1:0.0 for DISPLAY in the menu *Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables*.
Actually i don't know what it means... It may be the cause of my compilation problem... I work in french, so i am not sure what "Control Panel" is. I don't find "System"...
I used to work with WinTeXmacs but i wanted to install the "cygwin TeXmacs" in my new computer to have the recent version of TeXmacs... It seems to be difficult... If #5 does not have to see with my gcc problem i will try to install gcc (even if i am quite afraid with it)...
Thank you
Richard

Hi Richard, TeXmacs is made for Unix-like systems; therefore, to get it running on Windows systems, we have to install cygwin which is a kind of a Unix-Emulation for Windows. This is the reason why the error messages you get are not typical Windows-style but rather Unix style. In detail: > address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden> wrote: >> I have just installed cygwin.

Several helpers are needed to build TeXmacs, most prominently a compiler, but it does not have to be one specific; it can be one of several. The ./configure tries to find out which helpers are installed and prepares the build scripts so that they will deal with the installed helpers. >> and here is the result : >> << >> checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin >> checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin Just informational output: Your system is a "Unix" of type i686-pc-cygwin ;-) >> checking for gcc... no >> checking for cc... no >> checking for cl.exe... no >> configure: error: in 'cygdrive/c/tmp/TeXmacs-1.0.7-src' : >> configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH No such helper found (in this case the C compiler): This is a reason for ./configure to abort. The mentioned $PATH is what Windows users call %PATH%; this is a list of directories in which executables are searched for by the system. In the cygwin window you can type 'echo $PATH' to find out what yours is set to (but this won't help you). But anyway, in none of these directories is a compiler ./configure can handle, so as Khadga Karki wrote: > Try installing gcc first. Do that. Try ./configure again then. See what helper is missing next. Come back here if you have no clue ;-) Good luck. Alfe
