mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Miguel de Benito Delgado <address@hidden>]

Ok, I just tested. Sorry for the delay.

TeXmacs is almost surely not finding the svn executable. You can test whether this is the case for you by starting a scheme session inside TeXmacs and executing the command

(eval-system "svn")

You should get some output like "Type 'svn help' for usage." If you don't, then you need to set the path in Windows to include the directory where svn.exe is located. First find this file, then follow these instructions to set the "Path" environment variable adding that directory at the end

Now restart TeXmacs and repeat the test. Of course you can test with Version->History as well.

Note that if you are using svn+ssh you'll have to make sure that ssh.exe is also in the path and that your ssh-agent is properly configured. If it isn't ssh will block TeXmacs waiting for your passphrase to be input, but you won't have any means to do that.

PS: yes, these things suck. TeXmacs should test for tools upon startup, let you set paths from the interface, not block upon using external software, etc. But everything is designed under the assumption that the user knows about these things and how to configure them. There are lots of similar cases: gs, convert, svn, wget, grep... Patches are welcome!

Commit menu item works just fine, but the 'history' one keeps saying that the file is not under version control. Strangely, this time it says "History of file" in the heading, not "History of filename.tm" or "History of filename"...

No replies.

I would like someone to follow-up, please.
