[Texmacs-dev] Re: Guile Cygwin

[Dan Martens]

Hi Joris,

Things are at a stand-still here until we get some pending exams and 
assignments out of the way.  We should be able to pick it up again in a couple 
weeks. 
As for guile, my partner in charge of the guile issue has advised me that he 
found some sort of windows solution.  What it is I am not sure, but I will ask 
him next time we meet.
As for my end, things are going reasonably well.  I ran into some places where 
code has to be reorganized and rewritten due to fork() and execl() calls which 
do not exist, nor does windows allow this type of functionality.  There is 
quite a simple workaround, but it will require a small change in the way child 
processes are kicked off by texmacs.
I have added my name to the wiki, and will soon add a section relating to our 
work, when there is something important to say.
I have not been posting to the newsgroup, as I have not seen any reason to 
crowd the group with meaningless messages.  I will however start posting all 
our correspondances there if that is what you wish.
Please let me know if that QT version is working.  If so we may be able to use 
that with a bit of tweaking.

Dan
