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?

getting rid of autoconf (if i remember right it's one of the reasons why fabrice disliked the source tree) - merge all tex etex and pdftex code - simplify teh source tree Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I doubt that that is feasible while the pdftex source is still a part of tex-live. I try to stay away from autoconf myself, so I'm afraid I cannot offer any help. Perhaps Olaf or Karl knows what to do? Taco

what I did for the moment is to leave the configure.in and configure scripts untouched, until some expert fixes it. Thanh

You need an installation of a virgin autoconf-2.13, I have my one in /software/oss/Development/autoconf-2.13. For running configure in texk or a subdir of it, just put that autoconf into your PATH, then run autoconf with -m option to texk/etc/autoconf, e.g. cd texk/web2c PATH=/software/oss/Development/autoconf-2.13/bin:$PATH; export PATH autoconf -m ../etc/autoconf Thomas
