Subject: suggestions for installation
I have just installed TeX on a DEC alpha 3000/600 running OSF1 V 2.0.
I used gcc 2.5.8, also compiled under 2.0; it passed 'make compare',
so it is compiled with itself. I followed the FTP.nwc instructions.
I did 'configure', 'make', and 'make install' in the web2c-6.1
directory.
To do triptrap:
I then did 'make distclean' followed by 'configure' in the web2c-6.1
directory, then did 'make triptrap' and 'run triptrap' in the web2c
directory.
SUGGESTIONS:
(1) Make very explicit that all of the environment variables
associated with the lib installation must be set in the user's
environment before doing make. When it came time to make the format
files, the tex & metafont programs called by the Makefiles could not
find any of the files (plain.tex, plain.mf, etc.) unless I had my
environment variables set.
Perhaps this is something I did wrong, but I didn't change
kpathsea/paths.h, all paths therein seemed to be set correctly for the
library defaults; and I kept the library defaults, I just extracted
lib.tar.gz in /usr/local/lib and didn't change anything.
(2) For some reason, the Makefiles made with 'configure' had
x_lib_flags =
rather than
x_lib_flags = -lXt -lX11
so I had to put the '-lXt -lX11' into the Makefiles by hand
(otherwise, the final gcc command for, I think, virmf crashed with lots of
unresolved X routines).
(3) I needed to
#define NO_FOIL_X_WCHAR_T
perhaps you want to put this into x11.c in a #ifdef __alpha ??
(4) Please give instructions on what to do if you have some diffs from
triptrap that are not explicitly covered in Knuth's manual pages.
I have some, posted below; but I'm not clear if they mean that the
test failed, or who I should ask to find out. (Can anyone help me
out???)
thanks very much,
Ken
