I guess the virtualbox hasn't all libs

Le 25/11/2016 à 19:47, Zhang Zhen a écrit :

I am using ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my virtual box. I known mac may have some issues, and not many people use texmacs on macosx, I guess. So I want to make it work on my virtual machine. 

Thank you so much, you are so kind. Since I have some other work to do. I will do what you said  later.

Thanks

I am very surprised because 16.04 is LTS and quite a good version. Did you upgrade to 16.04.0x

otherwise it won't compile as make

yes, I have installed libgmp-dev, I am sure. I know that because libgmp.so file is there, and I searched online someone says ‘libgmp.so’ is indeed included in libgmp-dev.

You must have guile-1.8 and dev, I guess what you need is libgmp-dev

and all dev for libs dependancies gmp is not enaugh for compilation you need dev

Le 25/11/2016 à 18:54, Zhang Zhen a écrit :

ubuntu16.04.

I have checked gmp is installed. the libgmp.so file is at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu 

I have tried export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu 

and --with-lib-prefix= /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu , with ./configure

Doesn’t work yet.

Sorry about misleading information,

guile-1.8-dev has been removed due to libgmpv4-dev package installation. Now I have fixed that issue by simply install libgmp-dev instead of libgmpv4-dev.

but now the problem is configuration procedure can not find the gmp library.

Texmacs ppa is no more working since 15.04, if I remenber well.

I don't remenber exactly the dependancies for texmacs : i do

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake guile-1.8 qt4-default qt4-qmake qt4-dev-tools

Maybe this enaugh ?

Thanks, for sharing this. could you give me the ppa for uri for texmacs? I am not familiar with launchpad.net, still have found the way to add it to package manager.

Does this mean that build from official source code version 1.99.5 will work fine on ubuntu16 ?

Karl said I need to Recompile for new libc with iconv integrated within it. Will build procedure take care of this? or I need to some other build parameters when doing “./configure” process?

Texmacs compilation was straight forward, I keep to 19.9.2 for keeping sage session working.

yes but does the ppa have source ? if yes then you shouldn't have problem

Le 25/11/2016 à 17:24, Zhang Zhen a écrit :

the origin package manager source seems doesn’t have texmacs, (ubuntu16.04).

I also tried “sudo apt build-dep texmacs_1.99.9-1-svn-10578-git-10671-3d0f17e-guile-1.8.8_amd64.deb” which deb package is downloaded from Karl’s github repo.

Do I need to add ppa?

I think texmacs doesn't use qt5, I compiled with qt4 and add qt4-tools-dev qt4 default, guile 1.8

If you have any texmacs source deb you can sudo apt-get build-dep texmacs

I am trying to compile 1.99.9 now

Le 25/11/2016 à 17:14, Zhang Zhen a écrit :

Yes, the segment fault log comes from last-version 1.99.5. 

and After Karl Hegbloom told me his pre-build version, I tried his one. The version is 1.99.9.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks

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:

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

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

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