Subject: Make and install TeX
O.K. folks, my 2 cents on making and installing TeX/stuff.
I am trying to install on (uname -a)
SunOS myhost 4.1.3 1 sun4m
1- make clean does not work properly. It does not descent the subdirectory
appropriately. Had to do a lot of manual deleting.
2- Had to edit all of the Makefile.in (the ones that needed it) to
change <prefix> to my site's destination.
3- configure does something. I don't know what.
4- make breaks at finding *.pool files. So, I manually (in ./mf and ./tex
directory) had to hide mf.p and tex.p file and do make mf.p and make
tex.p to get *.pool file
5- did a make install to force the creation of directories at the
destination.
6- did a make install at top level directory and then I got it all.
I honestly don't know if I made everything. Actually I need the
dvitops to be able to print the GNU docs. Nobody in our site
uses TeX. I used to use TeX in college but that was 8 years ago.
This is not the most automatic way of doing it ;-)
Suggestions: use Makefile.in (configure) to use a Make.cfg either
as a "include $TOP/Make.cfg" directive for BSD or
read it in premanently for SYSV system (they don't have
include directive in make, of course the older versions)
Check the order of targets being created for appropriate
dependencies. I am running out of time for my own project
else I would have done it. Short comings:
I don't know autoconfigure
I don't know how to create patch files. (never done it).
