Hi, having removed pdfxtex from the sources I tried to rerun autoconf to re-create the configure scripts. I am using debian sarge and got the following error: ,-------- | autoconf: invalid option -m `-------- I looked into the manpage and tried to replace '-m' by '-B', then '-I' Then I got some error with the pb_AC_ASM_UNDERSCORE macro. Searched using google showed that Sebastian Rahtz had the same problem and was not very successful to get it work. Then I uncommented out in texk/etc/autoconf/acsite.m4 the line ,-------- | undefine([pb_AC_ASM_UNDERSCORE]) `-------- and was able to go a little bit further: ,-------- | $sh reautoconf | . | configure.in:222: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals | autoconf/status.m4:1078: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is expanded from... | configure.in:222: the top level | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/libs | libs | configure.in:53: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals | autoconf/status.m4:1078: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is expanded from... | configure.in:53: the top level | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/texk | texk | configure.in:61: warning: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: you should use literals | autoconf/status.m4:1078: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is expanded from... | configure.in:61: the top level | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/libs/xpdf | libs/xpdf | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/texk/dvipsk | texk/dvipsk | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/texk/kpathsea | texk/kpathsea | /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/texk/web2c | texk/web2c | configure.in:47: warning: AC_PROG_LEX invoked multiple times | autoconf/programs.m4:438: AC_DECL_YYTEXT is expanded from... | configure.in:47: the top level `-------- But when I tried to run configure from the top level I got: /home/thanh/pdftex/src/thanh/configure: line 6971: syntax error: unexpected end of file I have to say what Sebastian wrote in his mail: ,-------- | | I think I just hate computers! | `-------- Please, any ideas what I should try next?
