-- After configuring, there is no libs/xpdf/xpdf/c-auto.h. I went to libs/xpdf and configured again (by hand) and xpdf/c-auto.h was created. This did not happen in the first run (I did a make clean in the root dir and then did another make) which makes me suspect that 'make clean' somehow removed libs/xpfd/xpdf/c-auto.h (and indeed, it is in the teTeX-src tar.gz). This is an error in xpdf as afaik a make clean should not remove the products of configure.
-- libs/libtiff/libtiff.a still does not get a ranlib when it is created. I tried comparing libtiff with libpng but I did not see why this goes wrong for libtiff while it succeeds for libpng (I'm no expert in all this auto* stuff). Anyway, you can clearly see it in the Makefile of libtiff, which has no valid expansion for RANLIB after configure has run. -- After installation, /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf contains < TEXMFCNF = {$SELFAUTOLOC,$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf {-local,}/web2c}:$TETEXDIR:/software/oss/Text/teTeX-1.0/share/texmf/web2c: /software/oss/Text/teTeX-1.0/share/texmf/web2c instead of TEXMFCNF = {$SELFAUTOLOC,$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf {-local,}/web2c}:$TETEXDIR:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/ share/texmf/web2c That does not seem correct to me. -- mktex.cnf sets BDPI but not DPI -- /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/context/config/texexec should be named texexec.ini That was all. It compiles and runs. It will now be tested. G
