- In a recent attempt to investigate auc-tex, I obtained the distribution
- from Aarhus, and followed instructions to the best of my ability.
-
-
- 1) Problems arose with the first make, where the following was
- attempted:
-
- makeinfo auc-tex.texi
-
- While makeinfo might be a useful tool to have, it didn't come with my
- distribution of SCO Unix. What is makeinfo, and where do I get it?
-
- 2) After making up a harmless makeinfo (a bash script which did
- nothing), I was able to get a little further, then in an attempt to use
- flex I got:
-
- flex -8 lacheck.lex
- flex: unknown flag 8
-
- Now, I'm using a version of flex I got from FSF within the last couple
- of years -- do I need to update my flex, or what? Upon removal of the
- offending -8 option, my flex reported:
-
- flex lacheck.lex
- NULL in input
-
- I've heard lots of nice words about auc-tex, but I've not had a great
- deal of success in using it myself. Any suggestions would be
- appreciated.
