Thanks very much for your kindly feedback. I like QT, and agree with you that QT port is better than native Windows port.
Also I think using __MINGW32__ macro is not a good choice, since maybe someone (in the future?) want to compile TeXmacs with Microsoft Visual C++ which there is not __MINGW32__ macro there. 2010-07-01 16:22:40，"Gubinelli Massimiliano" wrote： >Hi, > >There are essentially two flavors of TeXmacs which relates to Windows. >The first is an old native port which is not more mantained (it was >developed by Dan Mertens if I recall correctly).
