[Texmacs-dev] Re: TeXmacs-1.0.5.4-src: build comments

[Joris van der Hoeven]

Hi,

I am going through the list of compilation problems you had.
Since I don't have access to any of the architectures you mention,
please take a look at my comments and questions.

I added a configuration option --enable-warnings / --disable-warnings

How to test whether "time_t" has been defined?
On the supported architectures, I use

#ifndef _TIME_T
#define _TIME_T
typedef long time_t;
#endif

Do you have a line

#define DOTS_OK 1

in tm_configure.hpp? In principle, the necessity of ... in function
declarations should be detacted by the ./configure script.

#ifdef DOTS_OK
typedef SCM (*FN)(...);
#else
typedef SCM (*FN)();
#endif

Could you please find out what is going on and tell me what typedef
will result in a successful build?

Please tell me which entry should be added for this architecture to
the configure.in, so as to make these options the default.

Like above; I need entries for configure.in in order to correctly guess
this kind of situation.

!!!???

Maybe you should try modifying some of the linker (and/or compiler) flags.
You may try the -fPIC option, static/dynamic linking, etc.

This looks like a bug in Guile and/or signal.h

This is not really an important problem, because R is merely one among
the twenty plug-ins to TeXmacs. In principle, compilation should finish,
even if one or more errors are encountered in the plug-ins.
Was that indeed the case for you?

This seems to be a problem with your wait.h
Merely including stdlib.h should be OK, right?

Please try to play a bit with the linking options and test whether you can
get things linked in some way.

Try installing a recent version of GNU make.

OK, please try to provide an entry for configure.in.

In any case, thanks again for your help so far, Joris
