Hi Ingolf,

Thanks for sharing!

Which ARM processor are you using, and how much RAM do you have? I'd be curious to know what is your impression as to the responsiveness of TeXmacs on ARM.

Best,

Álvaro.

Hi,

just a short write up on my experience to compile TeXmacs from source on Debian Buster. I was on ARM, so I couldn't use prebuilt .debs or statically compiled binaries.

My first problem: guile 1.8 is not in Debian anymore and the version that that is mirrored for Texmacs here [1] did not produce debs since a unit test failed. Guile works fine tough, but I had to install it with make install directly.

Next problem: Freetype does not support freetype-conf on Debian Buster anymore, so I could use the TeXmacs configure script. So, I went for cmake.

But cmake failed as well, since GCC 8.3 complains very much about deprecated use of language elements and invalid (int *) to (size_t *) conversions. I had to manually insert "-fpermissive" into CMakeLists.txt which is far from optimal.

Hope this helps other people struggling with TeXmacs on ARM.

Yours,

Ingolf Schäfer
