Math extension in mediawiki on windows

2

I want to put some mathematical formulas in a mediawiki install on a local WAMP server. I'm currently trying to install the math extension but I can't get it to work.

I've followed the instructions on the MediaWiki wiki, which involve running a script, changing some settings, and installing texvc. On Windows, this last step is quite involved. I found a pre-compiled binary somewhere, but ocaml (which requires installing cygwin), latex and dvipng are required as well. Now with everything installed, when I try texvc, it gives me an error message: "Fatal error: unknown C primitive `unix_getsockopt_bool'"

Does anybody have a suggestion to get LaTeX working on my local WAMP server?

1I don't see any question here, rather a description. What is the question? Otherwise I suspect it will be closed. – Xavierjazz – 2014-08-08T19:48:33.730

You're right. I edited the description to be a question. Thanks! – Ruben – 2014-08-08T20:34:04.443

The math extension was impossible to get to work. I switched to the MathJAX extension.

1The MathJax extension is deprecated and MathJax is now only available "experimentally" as an option in the math extension. – Rob Kam – 2014-09-09T15:20:50.850
