Additional comments by Daniel TAUPIN taupin@lps.u-psud.fr (February 2001) Compiling DVISPELL/DVISPREP on Linux ----------------------------------- 1. "gunzip" the distribution 2. tar -xf dvispell.tar 3. cd dvispell # (root directory of distribution) 4. ./configure 5. If "configure" does not find "kpse*" items, then install the kpathsea library and restart ./configure 6. make "make install" does not seem to work, then you have just to put the dvispell executable in the common path, such as /usr/local/bin Compiling DVISPELL/DVISPREP on MSDOS/DJGPP ----------------------------------------- 1. "gunzip" the distribution 2. tar -xf dvispell.tar 3. cd dvispell # (root directory of distribution) 4. EDIT Makefile.in 48c48 < $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) ext.o dvisprep.o $(LIBS) -o $@ --- > $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) ext.o dvisprep.o -o $@ Enter "bash" if not already done. 5. ./configure 6. If "configure" does not find "kpse*" install the kpathsea library which can be found in ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/tex/kpse32b.zip (binary) ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/tex/kpse32s.zip (source) Then perform ./configure again. 7. If "configure" does not find "getopt.h" use unzip or pkunzip to extract getopt.h from kpse42s.zip (the source of kpatsea library) 8. make Comments -------- DVISPELL is able to find required TFM files, either in emTeX distribution provided that the EMTEXDIR environment file is defined, or using the "kpathsea" algorithms as in teTeX/Linux distributions. Two output conversion codes are available: pc850.dsb (source *.dsi) or latin1.dsb (source *.dsi). Depending on the system (UNIX or MSDOS), either latin1.dsb or pc850.dsb should be copied as plain.dsb, the default database for DVISPELL.
