In a recent attempt to investigate auc-tex, I obtained the distribution
from Aarhus, and followed instructions to the best of my ability.
1) Problems arose with the first make, where the following was
attempted:
makeinfo auc-tex.texi
While makeinfo might be a useful tool to have, it didn't come with my
distribution of SCO Unix. What is makeinfo, and where do I get it?
2) After making up a harmless makeinfo (a bash script which did
nothing), I was able to get a little further, then in an attempt to use
flex I got:
flex -8 lacheck.lex
flex: unknown flag 8
Now, I'm using a version of flex I got from FSF within the last couple
of years -- do I need to update my flex, or what? Upon removal of the
offending -8 option, my flex reported:
flex lacheck.lex
NULL in input
I've heard lots of nice words about auc-tex, but I've not had a great
deal of success in using it myself. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
