We have an excellent TeX-IDE: TeXStudio.
We need a modern TeX-Distribution: TeX Live.
CAS Maxima with GUI wxMaxima

Building TeX Live (2015)

I tried that. It should build.
But at the moment, I have problem with their FreeType build.

Freetype should be easy. Does the network build test for existing libraries? If so, you should install already ported versions of whatever has already been ported. Easiest with yum/rpm. Yumie should be out soon, at least a rc which makes things easier.

Yes, FreeType is easy, I can build it. But since TexLive has its own build system, it has its own patches and that's what's broken.
I used a precompiled FreeType. Doesn't work as well.

ivan:
Getting back to the idea of this thread for requesting possible additions to Blue Lion.
I would like to see the input/output filters of Describe updated to read/write ODF documents.  Failing that a stand alone word-processor like AbiWord could be ported.

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

I also will like to see a revival of XWorkplace, I will write something about it soon.

Regards

Ronald:
I'm a little late to the conversation. ;D  But here's my 2 canadian cents:

* OS/2 (Blue Lion) official support under glorious Hyper-V.
* And regular communication from Arca Noae.  Not every week but something like in between 2~3 months.
