For memories :
we have to look at url complete in url.cpp that crashes when called with 2 url-or imbricated and a url-append 'in factor'.
 like <url {c:\;{c:\toto*}}\titi>

We have to make  a  'on demand' trace activation before because this function is too much called and prevents texmacs to run normally.

Actually this bug happens when you have a extra directory c:\Program Files (x86). This is not specific to Windows 8. I don't have one on my system, that why i didn't notice anything.

I uploaded a temporary fix. We have to investigate a bit more. Just download the file
  TeXmacs\progs\kernel\texmacs\tm-plugins.scm and replace the current one.
Please let us known if there is side effect.

thanks,
denis

Thanks François,
Your suggestion works on win 7 (I don't know yet on win 8), where 1.7.0.19 does not launch either (whereas 1.7.0.18 does)

Does it works if you edit the file TeXmacs/progs/kernel/texmacs/tm-plugins.scm, edit the line 422, and change it from

         (when (os-mingw?)

to

         (when (os-mingw?)

?

Unfortunatly, I don't have windows8 yet so i can do the test myself right now.

You can get the available options list by launching ./configure --help in the build environment. The option you are looking for is --enable-console

does windows8 have a compatibility  mode for the programs like win7 has ? May be this could help.

I rebuilt it using the build environment and so on, and it does not work better

Could you give me the procedure on how to compile with a debug console on please?

I got the same issue on a fresh install

I could hold it "running" by clicking on the menu tabs and browsing through the menus

I tried to deactivate the experimental tool 'fast environments', and got an error report from Visual C++ runtime library 'Assertion Failed' in file ./System/Classes/url.cpp
See attached file for a screen shot

I reproducibly get this error while browsing the menus, so I assume this is not bound to 'fast environments'

Of course, I soon as I leave the menus TM closes.

Hope this can help

I am unable to get texmacs to work in windows 8.
upon clicking shortcut, the texmacs window opens for a short time then closes by itself.
I do not know how to debug the problem
So any request for logs etc are welcome


Thanks
