I have tried pre-build deb package, can;t work, here is the log information, seems not very helpful:

(Reading database ... 258812 files and directories currently installed.)

I also tried build from sources, facing some problems here. 

If I go to texmacs/src folder and run “./configure” will got an error “configure: error: QT plugins not found!”. Here is full log:

checking for working iconv... yes

checking for iconv declaration... 

         extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, char * *inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

disabling experimental style rewriting code

./configure: line 7025: HACKED_AT_WITH_QT: command not found

enabling Qt port

configure: error: QT plugins not found!

I have checked configuration file, found it use qt-5, but not sure which library should I install. Initially I want to simply install all libqt5* libraries, but it contains conflicts can not be resolved by package manager. 

Another way as you mentioned at README file, 

...

ln -s packages/debian .

. ./setup_build_env.sh

dpkg-checkbuildeps

The checkbuildeps part printed nothing, so I guess the env is fine? But don’t know how to do next? Could you list some references?

Thanks

Recompile for new libc with iconv integrated within it.

You can try my snapshot builds if you like. Since they have some modifications from Joris' trunk, please use the issue tracker on github so I can triage and forward any bug reports. https://github.com/KarlHegbloom/texmacs/releases

Hi all,

I recently tested on Ubuntu16.04/14.04 and mac os EI Capitan. When I click the “help->manual->Browser” or some other documents

it will crash. 

Here are console logs:

I can install virtual machine and use it in on that, so any linux version is fine, just make it work.

Thanks,
