Run Vau success with pscm

Dear all, I can’t wait to share the good news: the vau can run with pscm now.

That’s one small step for TeXmacs, one giant leap for PikachuHy’s Scheme (pscm).

Vau (https://github.com/mgubi/vau) is an experiment/exercise over the TeXmacs codebase, to learn more about it. The initial goal is to extract enough machinery to be able to read and typeset arbitrary TeXmacs files.

How to

  • prepare
brew install ghostscript
brew install freetype
  • clone vau
git clone https://github.com/PikachuHy/vau.git -b vau_pscm
  • clone pscm

we use pscm as subproject of vau

cd vau
git clone https://github.com/PikachuHy/pscm.git
cd pscm
git submodule update --init
  • build with cmake
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j
  • run
TEXMACS_PATH=/path/to/vau/resources PSCM_LOAD_PATH=/path/to/vau/resources/progs ./Vau

then vau-test.ps file generated

  • convert to pdf
ps2pdf vau-test.ps

Note

  • Lots and lots of bugs are still in the pscm.

  • Only some of vau’s features are available.

  • Build and run success on macOS only.
