[comp.text.tex] Installation on Sun Sparcstation

FDMDJOHN%ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu@ncsuvm.ncsu.edu (11/15/90)

I apologize if this group avoids this kind of question.  If so, I'd appreciate
being directed to the right place.

I am having difficulty installing metafont on a Sun Sparcstation IPC
running SunOS 4.1.  The `make mf' command halts with a fatal error:

cc -o inimf iextra.o inimf.o mf0.o ... mf9.o ini.o MFwindow/window.a -lsuntool
   -lsunwindow -lpixrect
ld: MFwindow/window.a(sun.o): wrong machine type
*** Error code 4
make: Fatal error:  Command failed for target `inimf'


The two places where the window is specified (in the basic makefile
and in site.h) both agree that this is a Sun running Sunview.
But for some reason the make procedure seems to find the wrong
machine type.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong, or tell me where to go for
information?  Please e-mail me directly, at either address below.

Thanks.
