I am trying to get a full implementation of TeX running on an
SCO XENIX 2.3 386 machine. I fixed the few obvious problems
of file name length limits and the few include file differences
which the compiler choked on, but I still get this sort of error.
Can anybody offer any assistance?

When I first brought up TeX under Xenix, I had to compile tangle on a SCO Unix box. If you do this, the standard Xenix Development System will be able to compile TeX and METAFONT. They seems to run ok, but TeX does not pass the TRIP test and METAFONT does not pass the TRAP test. I have since recompiled TeX and METAFONT with GCC; everything works fine now. --jtc -- J.T.

The Microsoft C compiler is broken. It frequently chokes on complex expressions and can not handle long strings. With tangle.c, it produces incorrect code. Use GCC to compile TeX and it will be very painless. I got TeX up under Xenix with the Microsoft C compiler only after kludging tangle.c horribly (I threw away the changes after getting GCC and recompiling TeX). GCC also produces faster and smaller code. If you want more information, ask me by Email. ---Kayvan -- | Kayvan Sylvan @ Transact Software, Inc. -*- Los Altos, CA (415) 961-6112 | | Internet: kayvan@{mrspoc.Transact.com, eris.berkeley.edu, largo.ig.com} | | UUCP: ...!{apple,pyramid,bionet,mips}!mrspoc!kayvan "Imagine Cute Saying" |
