[Texmacs-dev] Compiling TeXmacs under MinGW & stack overflow

[Jan Lellmann]

Hello,

I've just been trying to follow the instructions on the "Texmacs-QT for 
Windows" page,
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/winqt.en.html.

I've run into several problems:

- There is a typo in the instructions at 
...CPPFLAGS="-L/usr/local/include... where it should read 
"-I/usr/local/include". I didn't spot this as I copy & pasted it, which took 
me an hour to find...

- In the version I checked out from SVN, the line
"(debug-set! stack 1000000)" is not commented out in the current SVN, or did 
I miss something?

- Compiling guile produces a warning on my system, which terminates the 
build process since -Werror is enabled. I had to do

"./configure --enable-error-on-warning=no\
  --prefix=/usr/local \
  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
  LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

- When finally compiling Texmacs itself, Qt must be in the path, so I needed 
to do an extra "export PATH=/c/Qt/4.4.3/bin:$PATH" before the configure. I 
also added "--enable-error-on-warning=no" for Texmacs configure since I 
wasn't certain what the default was.

- The line
"$(LN) -s ../plugins $(tmdir)/plugins"
does not work on my system ("File not found") and should read
"$(LN) -s ./plugins $(tmdir)/plugins"


Unfortunately, when I start TeXmacs, I get

$ texmacs
C:\msys\1.0\home\XPMUser\texmacs\src\TeXmacs\progs/kernel/boot/compat.scm:33:1: 
In expression (catch (quote wrong-number-of-args) (lambda () #) ...):
C:\msys\1.0\home\XPMUser\texmacs\src\TeXmacs\progs/kernel/boot/compat.scm:33:1: 
Stack overflow
ERROR: Stack overflow

Is this a known problem?

Best regards,
  Jan
