  • DVI TeX for CM4

    From Jean-Michel@3:633/10 to All on Friday, August 14, 2026 12:02:17
    Bonjour,
    I already posted this announcement on the porgrammer group, but it may not
    be the right place => copy


    Hi,

    With my ARMx6 I could write texts in LateX/TeX which were then displayed
    by the !DVI application.
    I use a CM4 (Hydra) and the software no longer works, this is due to the difference in processors between the 2 machines.

    Some instructions should no longer be used.

    After a lot of trial and error I was able to modify the various modules
    that are used by TeX and I can use it on the CM4.

    I was able to test some /Tex files that I had and the files exported by TechWriter are well interpreted.

    This is just information, but if anyone is interested I can make the
    executable for CM4/RPI4 available.

    RPi4 not tested

    With the ARMx6 I have !SWish utility (SWI listing utility) which I find
    very interesting. But it no longer works on CM4.

    So I made the corrections and it now works on CM4. Thanks to Lenny the
    creator of the software.

    Important: In the help there is a note on the software status.

    Same remark as before: if anyone is interested I can make the
    executable for CM4 available.
