Help! I have been trying to bring up the ctex version of TeX3.0 for some time here in my spare time. I am trying it with a variety of permutations: 3 different architectures [ sun3, sun4, iris4D ], two different compilers [ sun3 -> cc, gcc-1.36; sun4 -> cc, gcc-1.37; iris4D -> cc (1.31), gcc-1.37 ], and various typedefs of "schar" in site.h [ signed char, short ]. I get the following results with trip and trap: sun 4 (Sparc) : everything works. The final working version is a gcc compiled, stripped, and optimized tex and mf that pass all tests. iris4D : every permutations works for cc. TeX works with gcc in all permutations but trapmf fails the trap test with all combinations of gcc. No big deal, I can live with this. sun 3 (here's the problem): mf works fine with cc and gcc. TeX fails in all cases. Perhaps if I tried gcc-1.37, however the chances of that being the problem seem slim. Trip fails with the first indications of a problem appearing below. As another experiment I tried compiling the .c files that the sun3 generated with a Sparc, thus I removed all the *.c files in the tex and texware directories and did the appropriate "make triptrap" in both to get pltotf, dvitype, tftopl, and triptex. This proceeded to pass the test with flying colors. I would assume that the sun3 is among the most common of platforms. I am sure other people have done this with no problem. Wherein lies my stupidity? I have compared the pl version of the tfm file for trip.tfm and it exactly matches the given one. It seems to have all of the ligature info screwed up as a result of problems with the tfm file. The tfm files generated are, however, exactly the same on all architectures. If anyone has a clue (unlike me) of what is going on here or has had everything work properly on a sun3 please send me mail, perhaps someone is willing to correspond while I get this worked out. Thank you, Lonnie ----------------- first failure part of the trip test result ------------- diff TeXtrip/tripin.log trip.log 1c1 < This is TeX, Version 3.0 (INITEX) 24 MAR 1990 16:10 --- > This is TeX, C Version 3.0 (INITEX) 25 MAY 1990 00:57 88a89,94 > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no 7 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! 89a96,101 > Missing character: There is no 1 in font trip! > Missing character: There is no p in font trip! > Missing character: There is no t in font trip! > Missing character: There is no s in font trip! > Missing character: There is no q in font trip! > Missing character: There is no q in font trip! 95c107 < \rip A (ligature 7A) --- > \rip A 97,103d108 < \rip 5 (ligature |1) < \rip 7 (ligature ) < \rip 6 (ligature ) < \rip 7 (ligature ) < \kern-2.00002 < \rip 1 < \rip 7 (ligature |) 105,110d109 < \rip 5 (ligature |1) < \rip 7 (ligature ) < \rip 6 (ligature ) < \rip 7 (ligature ) < \kern-2.00002 < \rip 1 113,117d111 ... etc ... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Email to: lonhyn@gulag.nas.nasa.gov Human at: 415-604-3989 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
