Can I install WhizzyTeX for Emacs on a Mac (is Mac OS X a unix environment)?


If anyone is interested, I managed to make it. It is a bit slow and I think some files have issues, but in any case, it works!

The trick is to do what is explained here except for step 4. What I did instead was put the whizzytex.sty file in the same place as whizzytex.el and whizzytex (see step 5 in the article) and then I opened the file whizzytex (the one without extension), and where it says:

name (or full path) of the dump latex2e package file (without the extension)
PACKAGE=whizzytex.sty

I changed it to the path where I put whizzytex.sty. In my case I have:

PACKAGE=/Users/viviannevilar/.emacs.d/packages/whizzytex.sty

I hope this is useful for someone :)


You can install with the software distribution system Macports:

sudo port install tex-whizzytex

You only have to set up your emacs configuration files afterwards.

Have fun!


According to this site (scrolled about 3/4's the way down) it says that it can be installed on Mac OS. It pretty much just says:

makesudo make install
