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

I think my question is pretty stupid, but here it goes:

I am using Aquamacs, and I want to install the WhizzyTeX mode. The website for WhizzyTeX says that "it is designed for Unix platforms".

I read that Mac OS X is unix certified, but does that mean I can install WhizzyTeX on my mac? If yes, can I install and use it with Aquamacs or do I have to use the Emacs running from the terminal?

PS: I don't know whether this question should be posted here or on SuperUser, but as Emacs users seem to hang out here more often, this is the place I chose.

EDIT: There are some websites saying I can use WhizzyTeX with Carbon Emacs on mac os x, but some places say I cannot (see for example this pdf document, page 27, which says that "* whizzytex: http://cristal.inria.fr/whizzytex/ mode in latex with ocaml good fo linux, should also work in cygwin, doe not开发者_开发知识库 work on osx"). So I am really confused...


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:

make
sudo make install
