Hello,

I've tried to compile the Windows (msys) version too and encountered the same problem. Eventually I succeeded by the following recipe:

1. TmBuildEnv.zip is outdated (freetype version too old?). Instead use
    http://ftp.texmacs.org/TeXmacs/windows/qt/TmBuildEnv_140130.zip.

    The page http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/winqt.en.html should

    possibly be updated.

2. In the file 'configure' comment the lines 7453 to 7464 (by #'s). Those are not used for

    the win version? There must be an error in the regex pattern.

    #    while [[ "$GuileLink" =~ -L[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]]+)  [[:space:]]*(.*) ]]
         ...
   #   done

3.  Another issue was (configure stops) with file .Plugins/Qt/QTMPipeLink.cpp @ line 87.

    #if defined(__MINGW__) || defined(__MINGW32__)
   (void) msec;
   close ();
  #else

    I changed 'msec' to 'msecs' without exactly knowing why. Is this correct?

That done, ./configure -> make WINDOWS_BUNDLE worked fine :)

Hi All,

I am attempting to install Texmacs on Windows using the instructions at:
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/winqt.en.html

When I get to the step that says "Configure the environment using ./
configure", there seems to be a problem. The last bunch of lines of output
before it stops are:
checking whether ... arguments behave correctly... no
checking the size_t of guile strings... size_t
checking if statically linking with guile works... "no"
checking if it works with -lltdl... "no"
checking if it works with -lltdl -ldl... "no"
configure: WARNING: unable to link statically with guile
checking size of void *... 4
checking if we are on a 64-bits computer... no
./configure: line 7453: syntax error in conditional _expression_: unexpected
token
 `('
./configure: line 7453: syntax error near `-L[[:space:]]*(['
./configure: line 7453: `    while [[ "$GuileLink" =~ -
L[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]
]+)[[:space:]]*(.*) ]]'

If I try to move on to the next command in the instructions ("make
WINDOWS_BUNDLE"), I get the following message:
make: *** No rule to make target `WINDOWS_BUNDLE'.  Stop.

Any suggestions?

Note: I tried using the installation instructions at
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html
and I am able to install and open Texmacs, but I am not able to insert images
or export to PDF, which led me to believe that I am missing some of the
necessary dependencies...

Thanks,
