I tried to build TeTeX 2.99.8 on a solaris 8 machine (with my recently built gcc 3.4.3, which is using Sun's as and ld).
The configure scripts are terminated by error in texk/web2c by the following messages: snip... checking for main in -lm... (cached) yes setting $BUILDCC to cc setting $BUILDCFLAGS to $(BUILDXCFLAGS) setting $BUILDCPPFLAGS to $(BUILDXCPPFLAGS) setting $BUILDLDFLAGS to $(BUILDXLDFLAGS) setting $BUILDCCLD to $(BUILDCC) checking for tangle... no configure: error: tangle was not found but is required when cross-compiling. Install tangle or set $TANGLEBOOT to the full pathname. configure: error: ./configure failed for web2c configure: error: ./configure failed for texk I have not tried to do a cross build of any kind, configure was invoked by sh -c './configure --prefix=/usr/local/tetex/2.99.8 > /home/abel/log/tetex_2.99.8_configure.log 2>&1' after unpacking texmf and texmfsrc according to instructions. I have not tried with Sun's compilers. Any recommendations? Anders Not subscribed
