Hello,
Someone trying to install kerTeX under plan9 (9front) was not succeeding
so I had a look.
In my created makefiles (the compilation and installation is done with
POSIX(2) tools so under ape), the ones related to MetaPost had a spurious
continuation line before an empty line in a list of token in the
definition of a variable:
CPRODUCTS = imp.c\
mp0.c\
...\
mp12.c\
ape/make choked on this detecting an "infinite recursive expansion"
(from memory; I did not write it down verbatim).
Since leading and trailing blanks are not significant, this might be
considered a bug (yes, I have corrected the makefile skeletons since
this was incorrect and the bundle is corrected even if not for the
moment advertised on the site).
Best,
--
