    Karl,

        I have finally been building web2c in our environment and I
    would like to tell you some of the problems I encountered.

    First some general ones:

    In the top-level Makefile you have a line:
# Where dvips' TeX macro files get installed.
psmacrodir = $(texinputdir)/dvips
    But then, you define makeargs as
makeargs=...
  dvips_prefix=$(dvips_prefix) configdir=$(configdir) \
  headerdir=$(headerdir) psmacrodir=$(texinputdir)/dvips \
...
    Thereby overriding anu change one would have made to the
    definition of psmacrodir.

    Then the makes I ran all broke when doing the make in
    web2c/lib. I hade to enter the follwoing modification in
    Makefile.in in the directory web2c/lib:
*** Makefile.in.dist    Thu Feb  3 13:48:34 1994

*** 47,54 ****

  install install-exec install-data:

! $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.in: $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.start \
!                               $(configure_in) $(autoheader)
        rm -f $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.in
        cd $(srcdir)/../lib; cp c-auto.h.start c-auto.h.in
        echo '/* Below here generated by autoheader.  */' \
--- 47,54 ----

  install install-exec install-data:

! $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.in: $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.start #\
! #                              $(configure_in) $(autoheader)
        rm -f $(srcdir)/../lib/c-auto.h.in
        cd $(srcdir)/../lib; cp c-auto.h.start c-auto.h.in
        echo '/* Below here generated by autoheader.  */' \

    Then make happily continued past this point.

    Now some points that are specific to our site, but might be of
    interest to others as well.

    We have a number of different types of machines for which we
    maintain a large set of ultilities. We run things on
    DEC MIPS/Ultrix;
    Sun4 SunOS 4.1.3
    Sun4 SunOS 5.3 (Solaris 2.3)

    To keep things manageable we maintain a single directory
    structure on a fileserver where everything is stored. This
    directory structure is built under /depot/p/...

    Each package has its own subdirectory, with general and
    machine specific directories below. So for web2c we have:

/depot/p/web2c-6.1/ --+-- bin/
                      +-- doc/
                      +-- lib/ --+-- bibtex/ --+-- bib/
                      |          |             +-- bst/
                      |          +-- mf/inputs/ --+-- cm/
                      |          |                +-- concrete/
                      |          |                +-- dc/
                      |          |                +-- latex/
                      |          |                +-- logo/
                      |          |                +-- manual/
                      |          |                +-- mf/
                      |          |                +-- pandora/
                      |          +-- mft/
                      |          +-- tex/inputs/
                      +-- man/man1
                      +-- mips-ultrix-4.3/ ----+-- bin/
                      |                        +-- formats/
                      |                        +-- bases/
                      +-- sun4-sunos-4.1.3/ ---+-- bin/
                      |                        +-- formats/
                      |                        +-- bases/
                      +-- sun4-sunos-5.3/ -----+-- bin/
                                               +-- formats/
                                               +-- bases/

    We hid this from the user by inserting soft links in
    /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib to the right places in this
    structure. It was not immediately obvious how I could get
    web2c to accept the situation where the paths that are
    compiled into the programs are different from the paths where
    the programs etc. are installed. I ended up copying most of
    the variables in the top-level Makefile, giving them a name
    with the prefix usr (See the diff below). I then introduced
    usrmakeargs and passed that to the make runs that compile
    programs instead of makeargs.

    This solution may not be elgant, or the best one can think of,
    but it worked for me. The lesson of this story might be that
    it is possibly a good idea to support this kind of setup in
    the Makefiles you provide.

    Regards (and thanks for providing web2c),

    Johannes Braams
