Re: [Texmacs-dev] Darcy's Plan for the next release

phillippe's builder should work fine.

https://github.com/slowphil/texmacs-win-builder

But there are some tricks (eg.
https://github.com/slowphil/mingw-w64-guile1.8/issues/1) to make it work.

I have a working environment created by phillippe's builder scripts. It
compiles TeXmacs successfully.

And to build TeXmacs, MXE is also a great alternative.

I successfully builded TeXmacs under MXE, and verified its functionality on
Windows.

Hi All,Did anyone already succeed to compile it on Windows with MinGw ?

Hi all,

What is the specific problem with 'aspell' and windows? I'm looking and seems
that development of aspell continues and that it can be compiled for windows
(with Cygwin or MinGW):

http://aspell.net/man-html/WIN32-Notes.html

it does not seems much more difficult to include than guile. Is there any
specific problem?

It would seems to me easier to stick to what we have.

Thanks for the link, but this still does not tell us how we can integrate this
with our software (if this is possible and allowed at all).

In the meantime, it might be a good idea to check whether there is
a recent hunspell.exe binary for Windows that we could use and ship
with our Windows package. In principle, TeXmacs should already
support hunspell when it can find it.

I am not sure though whether we should priviledge aspell or hunspell
when both are available. Any suggestions?

Best wishes, --Joris

Thanks for the reminder, Max.

What do you guys think about the following:

Hi again Darcy,

I just got more info from Denis about spell checking under Windows.
It seems that aspell is not really an option and that the Qt solution
only works in certain widgets that are directly managed by Qt (please
check this impression). So this only leaves us with the option to
provide native support for spell checking. How difficult do you think
that it would be to write a small internal plug-in for that?
How much time would that require? I have no idea; under MacOS,
Max told me that it was straightforward. But Windows could be
entirely different, of course...

Best wishes, --Joris

Hi Darcy,

Yes, I just tested your code yesterday, and it seems to work better
now.
Thanks a lot.

Concerning spell checking under Windows, I just noticed that
spell checking launches a segfault under Windows, which is
very annoying indeed. I mistakenly thought that we shipped
aspell along with TeXmacs. If you see an easy way to make that work,
then please let us know.

Of course native spell checking support would also be very nice,
like what Max did for MacOS. I don't know how hard this would be;
if it is in fact easier, then we might directly prefer this solution
over aspell.

Best wishes, --Joris

With the help of Joris, I have re-organized the code for
configuring
programming language parser:
1. Github:
[1][4]https://github.com/texmacs/texmacs/commit/474081cd6161228d6fb0b3a12b034862c700d425
2. Gitee:
[2][5]https://gitee.com/texmacs/texmacs/commit/474081cd6161228d6fb0b3a12b034862c700d425
Sometimes Github is not available for me. That's why I'm posting
another
git mirror.
Now the Octave language parser error has been fixed.
Actually, the fix is exactly `Improve src/System/Language and
TeXmacs/progs/prog` in my top 1 priority.
Inserting keywords into auto completion candidates would be a nice
feature, but I will postpone it as TeXmacs 2.1 is about to
release.

Hi Darcy,

Before anything else, could you please focus on correcting
the remaining bugs in your latest commits? The new parser code
generated many messages (I corrected this) and errors (cf the
Octave
error that I sent you in private, which also occurs for other
plug-ins). Henri Girard also experiences problems with Python;
please investigate what is going on.

Further improvements of TeXmacs on Windows would be very nice,
but this is too late for TeXmacs 2.1, so please postpone new
additions.

Best wishes, --Joris
