Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Need help installing Auctex

[Matthew Vincent]

I forgot to mention that I also attempted to install AUCTeX through using the M-x package-list-packages command in emacs. This resulted in a large list of errors which I assumed were a known issue. If you would like to see the list of errors let me know and I can provide them.

AUCTeX Development team,

I have been attempting to install AUCtex with no success. I am running on a Windows 7 Professional operating system.  I have downloaded the .zip file and extracted the files and placed them in c:\Program Files\. I then attempted to run the ./configure command with the suggested prompt --with-emacs[=C:\path\to emacs\] (substituting with the correct path). I have tried running this with and without quotes.

 I am fairly new to comand line operations and am not entirely sure where I should be running them from. I attempted run them in the emacs shell, the Command Prompt and using MSYS. I have changed the directory to where the extracted files are placed. I have also attempted to change the directory to where I have the .emacs file. I am not sure what I should be doing to run the ./configure file. My expectation would be that I change the working directory to where I have the extracted auctex files stored. 

Whenever I try something I get an error similar to " '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file." There are slight differences depending on which of the command lines I am running from. I think that I don't have something required installed or am missing something but am unable to figure out what that is. any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You

Matt Vincent
