Hi,

I still have the old miktex-tools 2.5 installed.

Hi,

I've been trying to get MikTeX-Tools 2.8 beta installed on my new MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5 Leopard) with only partial success. After commenting out #include malloc.h in some files (I found it is obsolete?) and export LC_ALL="C" the installation goes well (~67%) until I get the following error:

[ 66%] Built target texmf-static

To what library those functions (fseeko64 and ftello64) belong?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install MikTeX-Tools 2.8 beta in my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5 Leopard) but it seems I don't have fseeko64 and ftello64 which produces an error at about 67% of compilation. What library am I missing?

Thank you.

p.s. I apologize if this comment appears twice.

So glad to see Miktex on linux, thanks for this awsome news !

What about a beta2 for windows!?

I tried to compile on 64 bit ubuntu 8.10 with multiple upgrades and got an error in line 100 of PackageTableModel.cpp that conversion of size_t to QVariant was ambiguous, so I added (double) in the following:
case 2:
return ((double) packageInfo.GetSize());
So far, it seems to work. Can you confirm?

I have just managed to get miktex and lyx working together in ubuntu 8.10. The important steps after compiling and installing were to go through the instructions in readme.unix (sudo initexmf --admin --configure, sudo mpm --admin --update-db, and initexmf --update-fndb) followed by setting the lyx tools/preferences/file handling/converters/Latex(pdflatex)->PDF (pdflatex) to "miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex --output-format=pdf $$", not forgetting to press the buttons modify, apply, and save!
Next step is to unify the texmf and miktex-texmf trees in the home directory with a few links. However, as the system seems to work, is this necessary?

shark

April 9. 2009 17:17

sorry. the line in the converter should have an "i" on the end:
"miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex --output-format=pdf $$i"

shark@April 9. 2009 13:11: my distro (ubuntu, 9.04) compiled after your suggestion. "sudo checkinstall" complete the process. mpm now work. thanks.

WHEN WILL THE WINDOWS VISTA BINARY RELEASED?

Why do you use VISTA? delete this shit and start to use Miktex on Linux.

I compiled beta 2 stuff on OpenSuse 11. Everything seems to work however, invoking miktex-pdftex command as normal user results in error:
seba@whistler:~> miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex miktex-test.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2)
initexmf: Permission denied: /root/texmf/miktex/config/formats.ini
I can't find the default format file!

invoking from root give no errors. It is weird because I invoked commands written in README.UNX and as a normal user also initexmf --update-fndb.
Any help?

I compiled it on OpenSuse11. But running as normal user I still have errors:
seba@whistler:~> miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex ltest.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2)
initexmf: Permission denied: /root/texmf/miktex/config/formats.ini
I can't find the default format file!

As root everything is OK, but this is weird because I invoked initexmf --udpate-fndb as normal user.
Any help?

Also having the same trouble as Francisco trying to install on OS X 10.5.. Has anybody manages to compile for OS X?

Same error here. The compiling process stops at 67% with the following output:

Also I've figured out some earlier problems not finding malloc.h (<sys/malloc.h> instead of <malloc.h>) and not returning an datatype for packageInfo.GetSize() within PackageTableModel.cpp
Oh, and a number of times I didn't correct the path to malloc.h but replaced it with alloca.h assuming malloc.h should be obsolete on Mac-Systems.

Ok, but the main problem still persist ...
Any suggestions? What should I do?

I'm compiling on a PowerPC G4 with Leopard 10.5.7

I can't find the download files for MixTek on MacBook. Do I use the Windows version and run it with a package such as Parallel?

Thanks.
