Re: [Texmacs-dev] can't do "insert session" in texmacs

[Vadim]

I'm resending one month old letter again, its seemingly lost in space.
If it can't be of any use, please let me know this.

Best regards,
Vadim.

attached is a patch to slightly improve cygwin situation WRT maxima

It does not try to enlarge PATH variable by strange guesses, it just
assumes that 'maxima' is already in the PATH, which seems more
reasonable to me.

it does not solve the problem at 100%, but older maxima support isn't
any better.
For a better support different maxima version should be better
recognized (maxima based on cygwin lisp, or maxima built with foreign lisp)

As for supporting cygwin - right now latest TeXmacs on cygwin builds
smoothly, so it is very well supported right now, IMO.
I don't understand why cygwin binaries for texmacs from cygwin.com are
rather old.


One of things to improve for cygwin - is building with mingw (thus
omitting cygwin layer for final binaries)
I am not ready for this right now, but eventually may be I'll apply my
small efforts in this direction.

Best regards,
Vadim.
