Hi,
below is a very simple script, the intention of which is to do all of
chapter 5 in one sweep and avoid having to type all the commands in
(error prone and nauseating after the umpteenth time round).
The script assumes that everything is setup right up to chapter 5. No
error checking is performed to ensure this so don't use this script if
you haven't set everything up right up to the beginning of chapter 5.
The script also assumes that all the tarballs are present in the
directory it is run from (no checking is made). It assumes that they are
all in their original state except for those that have .bz2 suffix in
which case the assumption is that they have been unzipped leaving the
tar archive as named in the script.
On my box the script seems to compile everything fine except for Texinfo
which gives some warnings which I have been unable to diagnose or get
rid of. It would be great if somebody out there could test this script
on their setup and see if it works for them or if they get the same
Texinfo errors.
If I get any positive feedback about the script it might then turn out
worthwhile developing it further and add error checking and or any other
desired functionality (like being able to do a selected range of steps).
As noted in the book, many packages are likely to have a number of
"warnings" when being compiled. Do you have any particular reason to be
concerned over the ones Texinfo gives?
