What follows is the file pub/tex.README from the anonymous ftp area on neat.cs.utoronto.ca (128.100.1.65, after hours please). The distribution described here is contained in files pub/tex.tar.Z.* . Sysadmins will note with major relief that "make" handles everything, except snarfing the fonts from a tape, a neighbouring site, or whatever (a bit much to ask for...). University of Toronto Computer Science TeX/MetaFont distribution. -------------------------------------- Updated September 15, 1989 -------------------------------------- This directory contains a complete distribution of TeX, MetaFont, TeXware and MFware (these are official Unix TeX distribution versions). Plain TeX, LaTeX, SliTeX, AMSTeX and other common macro packages are included. Also included is software found over the networks and local improvements. A PostScript and an Imagen device driver are included. A 28 page local user's guide is included that documents the resulting set-up (a complement to the TeX Book and the LaTeX User's Guide published by Addison-Wesley). This distribution has been compiled and is being used on the following platforms. SGI 4D (Irix 3.1) * Decstation 3100 (Ultrix 3.1) ** MIPS M/120 (RiscOS 4.0) Sun 4 (Sun OS 4.0.x) Sun 3 (SunOS 3.5, 4.0.x) Vax (4.3 BSD and Ultrix 2.2) * see bottom of message for required small shell script. ** see note at bottom of this message regarding "sed". To our knowledge all pieces work, are documented, and do fit together, but we can obviously make no guarantee whatsoever as to the fitness of any program for any purpose. To the best of our knowledge all programs are either in the public domain or freely redistributable. If you need drivers for other devices, ftp to science.utah.edu, directory aps:<tex.dvi> for a large public domain collection. DOCUMENTATION Man pages are provided for all programs; An up-to-date 28 page documentation of the resulting set-up can be found in doc/LocalGuide. PREREQUISITES Space: Depending on your machine architecture and compiler, you will need between 22 and 50 megabytes to run the full compilation. Our rather extensive font and macros collection here takes another 16Megs, but we are definitely on the heavy side. Fonts: This distribution does *not* include the TeX fonts, and you have to get them separately (from a standard TeX distribution tape, a neighbouring site running TeX, or ftp them from uunet.uu.net). You have everything you need to build all the TeX and LaTeX fonts, but this would take a couple of weeks of CPU time, and is not considered practical. UNPACKING mkdir the directory where you want the source to live; cd there and run cat .../tex.tar.Z.* | uncompress | tar xf - where ... is where you stored the files you FTPed. INSTALLATION 0) ************************************************************************* *** If you run Ultrix 3.1 or Irix 3.x, see the notes at the bottom of *** *** this document. *** ************************************************************************* 1) Edit the Makefile in this directory and specify values for the variables TEXBIN, TEXSHARE, TEXLIB, TEXMAN, MFBIN, MFSHARE, MFLIB, MFMAN which are documented in the Makefile. All makefiles are parameterized; you need only edit the Makefile in this directory to reflect your choice of paths and they will be passed down as parameters down the hierarchy when you run make. If you want to run make in a subdirectory beware that you will have to provide values for some or all of those parameters. We usually create an alias for make that defines the parameters on the command line when doing that sort of things. 2) Then you can perform the compilation and installation. If you are *really* trusting and have the TeX fonts already in the ${TEXSHARE}/fonts location specified in the make file, you can run make install as root or other suitably priviledged account to do a complete installation from scratch. If a "Licensed" directory is present, see below. We do suggest that you take a less radical approach and proceed as follows: (Note that only the steps of the form "make install-..." require permissions to write in the directories where TeX will be installed (often root, bin, or some other system account). You can run the other steps as whoever owns this source directory.) make veryclean (not needed the very first time) make first "make first" does the bulk of the work, and takes 32 minutes on an SGI 4D/240, 24 minutes on an M/120 with the newer MIPS compilers, something like an hour on a Sun 4, etc. If you have an old microvax, do this overnight :-) Move your existing ${TEXSHARE} and ${MFSHARE} directories (if you have them) out of the way (mv is fine if you have about 5 megs left in that partition). This is why we don't recommend make install, which cannot do this step in a fool-proof way, and so doesn't try to install the bulk of macros and other potentially large items. Then run make install-first You should then move the TeX fonts back to $TEXSHARE/fonts, or copy them there if you did not have them before. It is now time to build the things that require fonts to be present, (e.g. tex, latex, and a few others). make mustwait make install-mustwait If a directory called "Licensed" is present, you should also run make licensed make install-licensed At present we can make "tpic" available to UofT sites or sites with a System V release 2 or more recent source license, and dvitool for DCS/CSRI affiliates or other VorTeX licensees. Ask for them if you qualify. A word of advice: a minute spent fixing a Makefile will save you hours of pain. CONTENTS web2c contains the actual Web sources for TeX, MetaFont and the rest of the TeXware. It also contains the Web change files for generating a pascal version suitable for translation into C, and the Pascal to C conversion. Takes about 15 minutes to compile on an unloaded Sun 4. drivers all device drivers. TeX produces .dvi (device independent) files that need to be converted for each kind of output device. These drivers perform that task. packages The actual TeX and MetaFont macros used to generate each of the dialects (tex, latex, amstex). This makes it easier to update each one. undump Ignore this unless you have a Vax11/780-class machine like a Sun2 or an old MicroVaxII. Used to generate versions of the TeX programs with all the macros already loaded in memory and ready to go. Generating those requires adjusting the makefiles in the packages directory to invoke undump on a core file of a loaded virtex or virmf. textools Tools to make using TeX/LaTeX easier. mftools Font generation tools. see pkgen in particular. doc LaTeX local guide, BibTeX cookbook, conference guidelines. localmacros macros written/imported at UofT mfshare MetaFont source for the TeX fonts. texshare TeX macros (standard + UofT) latex-style The current contents of the official LaTeX style repository at Clarkson U.

Silicon Graphics 4D series: We use the following script instead of "cc" to compile all of this stuff. We suggest you put this in a file, call it "cc", and make sure it is in your path ahead of "cc". Essentially it turns on all the Berkeley Unix emulation features (which are mostly used by the device drivers). #! /bin/sh - # Fake CC driver that includes local and bsd stuff and links compatibility # bsd routines. Also defines __iris4d__ and __irix3.1__, as well # as linking in /local/lib libraries before system defaults. # Also munges output error messages from cc to BSD format, so it can # be automatically parsed by Jove. # Mark Moraes, University of Toronto realcc=/usr/bin/cc includes= args= for i do case "$i" in -I*) includes="$includes $i";; -v) set -x;; esac done includes="$includes -I/local/include -I/usr/include/bsd" tmp=/tmp/cc.bsd.$$ trap 'rm -f $tmp; exit $status' 0 $realcc -D__iris4d__ -D__irix3.1__ $includes -L/local/lib "$@" -lbsd >$tmp 2>&1 status=$? sed 's/^[^:]*: \([^:]*: \)\([^,]*\), \([^:]*: \)\(.*\)/"\2", \3\1\4/' $tmp
