I see it now.  The normal deb package building ought to work almost out of the box. It likely won't take more than an afternoon to ensure that it works,  mostly getting fink installed. If the dependency packages have the same names,  then it will work with a git checkout of a known buildable branch of texmacs... oh, no, that won't matter since the debian package build control file does not declare them and you must hand install them,  vs using dpkg-checkbuilddepends... my syrinx-svn-trunk-guile-1.8 will work:

cd texmacs/src
cd packages/debian
ln -s rules.cmake rules
cd ../..
ln -s packages/debian .
fakeroot debian/rules clean binary

You could have it done before I can get the time at the keys to try it.

Maybe. Isn't fink based on dpkg?

MacPorts has more packages and a wider user base, is what I was given to believe. It also has Guile 1.8. Is that in fink?

Hi Carl, 

Could you please (if it is not a unsurmountable amount of work) aslo provide the port via fink (see finkproject.org)? Texmacs is available on fink, however the last version there is 1.07.20. Fink is, IMHO, more pleasant to use than macports (e.g. there is a gui called FinkCommander one can use).

Best,
Peter

Instructions are in the editors/TeXmacs directory README.md.

This is using a branch from my personal github clone of TeXmacs. It is using the cmake build system. For some reason, there are no MacOS dialog boxes shown when trying to save-as or export to pdf. The temporary workaround is to open the file you plan to edit using the command line. When you do that, the F3 key and "save" menu item work to save the file. To convert it to a PDF, again use the command line, like:

 texmacs -c myfile.tm myfile.pdf
