Re: [Texmacs-dev] Re: TeXmacs under Cygwin

[Tim Ebringer]

I tried compilation of TeXmacs (1.0.0.21) under cygwin (latest versions 
of everything), and compilation died in the following section:

c++ -I./Basic/Data -I./Basic/Misc -I./Basic/System -I./Basic/Types 
-I./Resource
-I./Window -I./Typeset -I./Edit -I./Convert -I./Texmacs -I./Guile -I- 
-I/nonexis
tent/include -Wall -Wno-return-type -O2 -fno-exceptions -c 
./Guile/Scheme/evalua
te.cc -o Objects/evaluate.o

                from /usr/include/guile/gh.h:50,
                from Guile/glue.hh:15,
                from Guile/Scheme/evaluate.cc:13:
/usr/include/libguile/eval.h:49:20: struct.h: No such file or directory

I should also point out that I've tried to compile Guile 1.6.0 under 
cygwin, and this has itself been problematic. The compilation procedure 
for guile is so complicated that I think a port to a non-POSIX 
environment might be rather difficult. WxWindows is a nice C++ GUI that 
compiles under cygwin, and I was thinking of trying to port using this 
(once compilation issues are ironed out). It would be nice to use Qt, 
but TrollTech are (understandably) not wanting to GPL their win32 
version of this library. So KDE is unfortunately stuck on UNIX for a while.
