how to install TeTeX 2.0 ?
Dear tetex friends I have downloaded, gunzipped and untared the 3 files tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz tetex-texmf-2.0.tar.gz tetex-texmfsrc-2.0.tar.gz but now I do not know how to compile and install them. I have not found any Makefile. My OS is HP-UX 10.20. Thank you for any help. -- Pavel Pokorny Math Dept, Prague Institute of Chemical Technology http://staffold.vscht.cz/mat/Pavel.Pokorny

Please, check if this has worked on your system. Look into config.cache (in libs/libwww) if HAVE_NETDB_H is not set. wwwsys.h includes netdb.h if HAVE_NETDB_H is set. Is there some .c file includes HTDNS.h without including wwwsys.h before? You somehow have missed to send the actual error message... > people use an already installed libwww.

If tetex is not changing any paths to libraries, then this seems like a configuration problem of your system (or maybe SuSE 8.1 in general). The above error looks like an unresolved reference from an XFree86 module to a glibc module. > I would think that ther might be some trouble with gcc (as it is said to > compile with gcc 2.95...) Maybe _fxstat is emitted by gcc, indeed, and nobody is picking it up (usually gcc delivers a small libgcc for this purpose). I am building tetex with gcc 3.2.0, glibc 2.2.93 and Xfree86 4.2.0 without problems. Using nm and ldd you could follow the emitting of the _fxstat symbol and its resolving in which libraries. > I'm not sure whether I like to download from the above site - just a bit > too much, my telephone bill is already outragous... You would only need the specfiles, but they wouldn't help fixing the above situation. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg01777/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
teTeX-2.0, libwww, linux
Dear Thomas: If I try to compile the www library in a linux (redhat-8.0) system, there is a header that is missing. I added an #include at the beginning of HTDNS.h and everything worked fine. Otherwise, there are missing externals (hostent). [OK, I guess the standard addition should be something like: #ifdef linux #include #endif but you know that much better than I do.] I do not know if other people will have the same problem, but my installation is pretty standard. Perhaps it has not been detected if people use an already installed libwww. I like to compile my own TeX and have its binaries independent of redhat's supplied libs.

Where does your teTeX-1.0 come from (rpm from your Linux distribution, or self-installed)? Do you plan to use the new release in parallel wih the old one?

installation of tetex 2.0, replacing tetex 1.0
Many thanks to Thomas Esser for his recent release of tetex 2.0. Anxious to start using it, I have a basic question about installation. The installation instructions (INSTALL and QuickInstall) seem to be written primarily for use on a machine that does not already have an older version of tetex. With tetex 1.0 running on my Linux box, I'm not sure how best to upgrade to version 2.0. I've read FAQ point 16 on deinstalling an old version, but it refers to the transition from 0.2 to 0.3 and may not apply to the current transition. Any advice would be most welcome. -- John P.

===
The files / installation
===
You can get teTeX-2.0 from the following server:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (UK)
Other servers will follow shortly:
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (GER)
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (US)
A full list of mirrors is available here:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites
From these servers, you need the following files for teTeX-2.0:
sources of the programs (required):
==> tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz
support tree with fonts / macros (required):
==> tetex-texmf-2.0.tar.gz
sources for parts of the texmf tarball (optional):
==> tetex-texmfsrc-2.0.tar.gz
The installation instructions are included in the tetex-src.tar.gz
archive as files INSTALL (complete instructions) and QuickInstall
(short version).
===
Windows and MacOS X versions
===
I don't maintain such ports myself, but you can get them here:
Windows (win32)http://www.fptex.org/
MacOS X (darwin) http://www.rna.nl/tex.html
===
Documentation / getting started
===
teTeX contains a lot of documentation about the packages it includes.
For a start, please look at
texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.{ps,pdf,dvi}
and
texmf/doc/index.html
texmf means the directory in which you have unpacked the tetex-texmf
tarball during the installation process
===
De-support of repacked and binary distribution
===
Unlike previous releases, I don't plan to make binary releases or
sub-packges of the texmf tarball. Lots of other projects and people
provide teTeX in repacked and compiled form and I am willing to maintain
links to such resources on teTeX's web page. I think that I will do
a better service to the TeX community by concentrating on the three
tarballs (src, texmf, texmfsrc) and shorter release cycles, than by
providing binaries and repacking the distribution.

teTeX-2.0-rc configure does not detect correct cpp options on MacOS X.
Hello, I have a proble that libs/ncurses/ncurses/lib_gen.c is made to be meeningless by configure script of tetex-2.0-rc on my Mac OS X 10.1.5, so make all stops at that point. 2.0-beta's configure script detects corect cpp options: gcc -E -traditional-cpp, but 2.0-rc's not. So I must set environmental variable CPP='gcc -E -traditional-cpp' to make all. Regards, -- https://www.ns.musashi-tech.ac.jp/%7einoue/Signature/ inoue

problem with "make pdftexbin", -static (teTeX 2.0 rc1)
When I try to build only the pdftex and pdfetex binaries by "make pdftexbin" in texk/web2c/, broken binaries are built (Linux, gcc 2.95.4): $ ./pdftex bash: ./pdftex: No such file or directory This seems to be caused by the "-static" switch for klibtool. If I try make pdftex && strip ./pdftex make pdfetex && strip ./pdfetex everything works fine. Is there anything broken with the pdftexbin target, or is this a configuration problem? BTW, the good news: "make world" in teTeX-src-2.0-rc1/ works without problems! Olaf
