"./configure" means... well, the "./" part is just saying to take the executable here, in the present directory, rather than from the PATH. For various reasons related to security we don't normally put "./" in PATH. The "configure" script tests the compilation environment and sets up config.h, and creates "Makefile" from "Makefile.in" so that after that you can run "make" to compile the program.
So at a command prompt in the terminal, type the command and press enter to execute it. The % represents the command shell prompt. The help switch will cause it to display options you can add to the configure command if needed. Defaults are often fine.
% ./configure --help
% ./configure
% make WINDOWS_BUNDLE
I am trying to compile TeXmacs for the first time under windows. I am following the instructions found at http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/winqt.en.html.I successfully got the source downloaded. Next is says to "configure your environment" using ./configure, but I am not sure what if anythings needs to be configured.When in run make WINDOWS_BUNDLE is comes back:$ make WINDOWS_BUNDLEmake: *** No rule to make target `WINDOWS_BUNDLE'. Stop.
