TeXmacs depends on a Guile, so we need to build guile first. For this 
enter the following commands.

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.8.tar.gz
tar xzf guile-1.8.8.tar.gz
cd guile-1.8.8
./configure --disable-error-on-warning
make -j 12
sudo make install

Install Qt4 Libraries

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rock-core/qt4
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev

Now, we can go on to get and compile TeXmacs.
Warning. If you have both version 4 and version 5 of the Qt libraries 
installed in your system, compilation will fail unless you select the 
former. This can be done by preceding the above commands with export 
QT_SELECT=4.

cd ..
wget 
https://www.texmacs.org/Download/ftp/tmftp/source/TeXmacs-2.1.1-src.tar.gz
tar zxvf TeXmacs-2.1.1-src.tar.gz
cd TeXmacs-2.1.1-src/
export QT_SELECT=4
./configure --enable-qtpipes
make -j 12
sudo make install

That's all !!!
