Pretty outdated and certainly fixed since bug #7350 is.

Okay, thanks. :)
I did look for a bug report; guess I missed it.
Also, I'm Glad to hear it will be fixed; will look for new version "soon".

However, as I wrote in Bug #5709, there are some problems with the post install configuration for 1.0.1. -at least on Cygwin. I can only assume the same is true for 1.0.2.x so it probably will not run even if it does build. :(

Is there any effort in progress to change the make install procedure so that it will 'just work' (with Cygwin)?

We are aware of this problem. Actually we know just how to fix the compilation problem (a patch is available on the Path Manager) but there is also a library linking problem. I have the bit of autoconf magic to fix it too (from libxml2).

So, thanks for the report. And it should be fixed soon.

Hello:
The ./configure seems to work on all versions but for 1.0.2.x the "make" dies with error in trying to get a char constant typed.
Ok, that's not much of a description, :), but you know something about this bug since 1.0.2 'make' died in the same way/place with a slightly different error than the 1.0.2.1 that was just released; i.e, somebody worked on it.
SEE "[FYI]" below for "R2" error from gcc. If you need more than that, just ask; email me ( neognomic[at]yahoo.com ) and I will try to assist. ;)

[FYI]
Got ~same error on all three 1.0.2 build attempts:
g++ -I./System -I./System/Boot -I./System/Classes -I./System/Files -I./System/Link -I./System/Misc -I./Classes/Abstract -I./Classes/Atomic -I./Classes/Compound -I./Data/Drd -I./Data/String -I./Data/Tree -I./Data/Convert -I./Guile -I./Resource -I./Window -I/nonexistent/include -Wall -Wno-return-type -O2 -fno-default-inline -fno-inline -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c ./Resource/Converters/converter.cpp -o Objects/converter.o

Resource/Converters/converter.cpp: In function `size_t iconv_adaptor(size_t
()(void, T, size_t, char, size_t), void, char, size_t, char**,
size_t) [with T = const char*]':
Resource/Converters/converter.cpp:234: instantiated from here

Resource/Converters/converter.cpp:214: error: invalid static_cast from type `
char*' to type `const char*'

make[1]: *** [Objects/converter.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/TeXmacs-1.0.2-R2-src/src'

FWIW, 1.0.1 built okay on the same system. ...

[OT]
Cygwin has improved a lot in the last year or so. It is still far from a real "linux" but seems to be PDG under MS Windows 2000 SP3. I use MS Windows sometimes and would very much like for some *nix aps to be available; TeXmacs is one of them.

Also, OT, I'd like to add here that I needed TeXmacs (or something like it) back when I was in school and writing engineering and math papers fairly frequently. So, I will also say "thanks" to all who decided to make this GNU SW because it can help a lot of the current Math/Engr/Science students! Making TeXmacs run in WinXX, under Cygwin, seems like an admirable goal: I wish you luck. If I can help, I will.
