Build the texvc binary
Enabling math markup requires latex, dvips, gs, and convert. OCaml 3.06 or later from caml.inria.fr is required to compile texvc. On Debian-based systems the requirements can be installed with the following packages:
- Run make from within the MediaWiki's math directory to build the texvc binary on your system.
- Make sure the directories tmp and math under 'images' exist and are writable.
Example
The following maths code
Should give the following output
LocalSettings.php changes
OSX Specific installation

Now compile texvc with make to create a texvc executable that knows where the locations of the components are.
