I've sent the messages to Dan, who promised to send you the patches...
That ok?
The problem is that on John's computer, something is messed up in the
latex installation so dvipdfm fails to find cmr17.tfm.
One way to avoid problems like this is to include the .dvi file in the
distribution. That way make doesn't ever try to rebuild it unless the
user has been editing the .tex files. Right now, in simplified form, we
have
gnucap-man.pdf: gnucap-man.dvi
dvipdfm gnucap-man.dvi
gnucap-man.dvi: gnucap-man.tex $(OTHER_TEX_FILES)
latex gnucap-man.tex
latex gnucap-man.tex
so what happens is during the build, make says "hey, there is no .dvi
file so the .pdf must be out of date" and it tries to rebuild the whole
thing. This is fine if you don't have a semi-broken latex install.
The other viewpoint is John's failure is a failure of his latex install
so its not gnucaps problem or position to try and have a way to avoid it.
Here is the tail end of the output from Johns build:
Output written on gnucap-man.dvi (136 pages, 504508 bytes).
Transcript written on gnucap-man.log.
