[Texmacs-dev] Compiling texmacs on alpha GNU/Linux

[Ralf Treinen]

Hi,

here is what I did to compile texmacs 1.0.0.1 on an alpha,
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf):

I compiled with STATIC_TEXMACS using the following options:

OPTFLAGS="-O2"
LDBSTATIC="-lltdl"

I also tried MIXED_TEXMACS but it bombs out with Segmentation Fault.
The "-lltdl" flags has recently been necessary when compiling on
Debian GNU/Linux.
