[comp.sys.apollo] TeX on SR10.3

tynor@prism.gatech.EDU (Steve Tynor) (05/18/91)

Has anyone succesfully built Tex/LaTex under SR10.3?  I'm pushing hard
to start using it for project documentation, but am running into
resistance from management since someone on the team wasted a lot of
time a year ago attempting to build it under SR9.7 and never succeeded.

Hints, pointers, patches, etc., will all be appreciated!

I built TeX 2.993 (=TeX 3.0 beta) under SR10.2 and we are using it under
SR10.3. No changes, no patches, no sweat: Just modified compiler-flags
and installation parameters as described in the README's and built the
whole thing in a day.

We are running the Stanford UNIX TeX3.0 distribution under SR10.3.
It compiled succsessfully whithout hitches when we followed the 
enclosed install instructions. One possible problem: It is necessary 
to have . included in your path.

Good luck!
