Did you also install all the programs mentioned in the point 3 in

http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html

It seems you are missing libgmp.

First install all the packages mentioned in the web-page above. If doing that does not work
then install

libgmp3-dev

and give a try. I think you are running into these problems because you just did a minimal installation of cygwin rather than the complete installation. Now you know how to install packages in cygwin, follow the step 3 in the webpage.

Best,

Thank you Khadga,
the link you gave me
http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~aamodt/ece242/cygwin.html <http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/%7Eaamodt/ece242/cygwin.html> is useful to make easily the needed installation (in this site they talk about gcc, gbd and make, so i have installed all of three).
Then, ./configure gave me a new error message : << ... cannot find guile-config, is Guile installed ? >>
So i went back to the cygwin installation and i found (in the long list called "DEVEL" where i found "gcc") a tool called GUILE.
I have installed it. After that, the command
./configure
worked. :))))
So i type the command
make
and i got a new error message...

:(((((
I have attached the picture of the cygwin screen. Maybe someone can help me...

Thank you !

Sujet : Re: Re : [TeXmacs] Problem with my new installation

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: http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~aamodt/ece242/cygwin.html <http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/%7Eaamodt/ece242/cygwin.html> Best address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden> wrote: > > > Thank you Kadga and Alfe. > > Installing gcc seems to be difficult.
