I am trying to build TeX3.0 from the labrea.stanford.edu
(UNIX3.0 subdirectory) distribution on the IBM RISC6000 running
AIX 3.1. I was able to get the whole makefile to run
(with some changes like getting rid of sprintf definition,
change to /bin/ksh).
However the final version of virtex is not working correctly.
The only problem I have noticed during makefile file execution
was this one (during tex.web tangle):
.$ ..web/web/tangle tex.web ctex.ch
This is TANGLE, C Version 4
*1*17*25*38*54*72*99*110*115*133
! Value too big: 2550000. (l.3229)
@d
penalty(#) == mem[#+1].int {the added cost of breaking a list here} *162*173*199*203*207*211*220*256*268*289*297*300*321*332*366*402*464*487*511*539*583*592*644*680*699*719*768*813*862*891*900*919*942*967*980*1029*1055*1136*1208*1299*1330*1338*1340*1379*1381
Writing the output file.....500.....1000.....1500.....2000.....2500.....3000.....3500.....4000.....4500.....5000.....5500....
Done.
1035 strings written to string pool file.
(Pardon me, but I think I spotted something wrong.)
What is this "value too big" ? What variable?
BTW: I got 2.995 version of TeX from byron.u.washington.edu but,
it seems, it doesn't implement BigTex. Also, they had to get .c
sources from outside (because web2c wouldn't compile). This distribution
works fine but is not suitable for large documents and is not TeX3.0
