Hi Massimilano,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have followed your instructions and have
now a new set of errors

/usr/bin/ld: Objects/moc_qt_http.o: in function
`QTMHTTPHandler::qt_metacall(QMetaObject::Call, int, void**)':
moc_qt_http.cpp:(.text+0x1c9): undefined reference to
`QTMHTTPHandler::onReadyRead()'
/usr/bin/ld: Objects/moc_qt_http.o: in function
`QTMHTTPHandler::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int,
void**)':
moc_qt_http.cpp:(.text+0x91): undefined reference to
`QTMHTTPHandler::onReadyRead()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [makefile:533: Objects/texmacs.bin] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [Makefile:59: TEXMACS] Error 2

As soon as I manage to build texmacs I will do some performancs tests.
Alternative I can send you my *.tm files for the document of 2000
pages.

Thanks a lot for your work on texmacs

Best regards
