Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ TexMakerX (with interactive spellchecking!)

[benibela]

I changed the project/build structure in the SVN version, that it is more similar to the original one,
perhaps it works now.

Thanks! Now it can be compiled to a mac application texmakerx.app. The only problem is that I could not open this application. It stated that it cannot be run on this architecture. Then I tried to run the Unix file inside this application (texmakerx.app/contents/MacOs/texmakerx) and it was working. It is really a nice work. I do not know how to modify texmakerx.app to be run. Can someone help? Thanks!

Good to hear that it works.

I don't know why the app complains, but there is a line QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.4 in the texmakerx.pro, perhaps you should remove it when you have a different MacOSX version

It is still not working. I have looked at the source code of texmaker which can run on OSX10.5 after I compiled it. I found the statement you mentioned is in. Then it should not be the trouble. I also made the following changes but it still failed.
QMAKE_MAC_SDK=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.5

Thanks!

Could you write a step-by-step report how you compiled it, please?
You seems to be the only one who succeed to run it on mac.

1. Download QT SDK for mac from
http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads
and install it.
2. Open Terminal.app
3. Download source files of trxmakerx from your svn site:
http://texmakerx.svn.sourceforge.net/sv ... erx/trunk/
4. Cd trunk.
5. Sudo sh build.sh.

TexMakerX compilation :
----------------------------------------
Enter path to QT4 (/usr/lib/qt4 or ...):
6. /usr/bin
Enter SYSTEM (1: UNIX ; 2: MACOSX) :
7. 2
Then compiling processing continued for several minutes.
Finally we have texmakerx.app in /Applications.

Thank you!
Probably I will put it on the web site.
The process seems to be straight simple, until the path of step 6...

However, it still cannot be run by clicking texmakerx.app. Any thought to solve it?

I am using the compiled version of texmakerx on OSX 10.5. There are three problems of editing I found so far.
1. I use the default font family: Lucida Sans Typewriter. The space between Chinese characters becomes very small ans some of them are overlapping to each other and to some English words. If I use Lucida Sans Unicode font family the problem is gone.
2. When I copy and past several lines of texts form other application (for example, Smultron), all lines are put into one line in texmakerx.
3. Some alphabets at end of words are missing in configure window. For example, Editor font family becomes Editor font famil.
I do not know whether it only occurs on the complied OSX 10.5 version or not.

The bundle description file was wrong, and still wanted to execute texmaker instead of texmakerx.
Perhaps it works in the new revision

Have the character different widths?
In the default it tries to draw all with the same to be faster

>When I copy and past several lines of texts form other application (for example, Smultron), all lines are put into one line in texmakerx.
It didn't understand the mac line ending, so removed all line breaks. (even worse: you couldn't really open a file with mac line endings)
But now it should work (the only remaining problem is that the line ending is set to the windows \r\n when saving)

>Some alphabets at end of words are missing in configure window. For example, Editor font family becomes Editor font famil.
It works on Windows, perhaps Mac has a larger default font / screen resolution
