Hans et al,
OK. I'd like to start with mfonts.tex. I am working with GWTeX on
Tiger and have just updated to all of Gerben's latest stuff, so I am
as current as I can be with that distribution.
I do have Ruby on this Mac.
So, hold my hand and and guide me through the compile stage. The
first problem, as I see it, is to get the expected organizational
tree for these manuals For example, in mfonts.tex, we have:
\environment ../allkind/mcommon.tex
So, should I do some sort of cvs thing and check out all these
manuals and documents?
That seems to be the first issue to address.

you need a proper subversion client; steve peter told me he had that
running on hsi mac so maybe he has some recommendation; one you have
that you can connect to svn.pragma-ade.com and check out the "manuals" tree
the svn tree is readonly, so info needs to be fed back using diff's or
patch files to me
on windows there is tortoise svn which hooks nicely into the file
handler; i dunno (yet) about the mac (need to look into it)

The easiest thing to do is grab the pre-built binaries from http://
metissian.com/projects/macosx/subversion/. It's a command-line
program, but I believe there is a GUI written in Java if you require
that.

Hans, Steve, et al,

Presuming you're in a directory where you want the stuff (and svn is in
your path, etc):
svn checkout svn://ctx.pragma-ade.nl/manuals
(the first time: it creates a "manuals" subdirectory and populates it
with further subdirectories from the server. It also makes a hidden
"manuals/.svn" directory with enough metadata that you can forget the
URL and update with simply: )
svn update
(all subsequent times)
(parenthetically,)

Hans, Steve, Adam et al,
OK. Subversion installaed. Download the manual tree. I am in the
fonts subdirectory with:
fonts $ ls
demofont.afm demofont.map demofont.tex mfonts.tex
typeface.tex
demofont.dat demofont.pfb mfonts.rb showfont.tex
Baby steps. But successful ones. Just the way I like to work. :-)
Now, I want to compile mfonts.tex. Ruby is on my system (Mac Tiger).
fonts $ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
I am looking in mfonts.rb:
fonts $ cat mfonts.rb
# usage: runtools mfonts.rb
#
# copyright=pragma-ade readme=readme.pdf licence=cc-gpl
job = Job.new
# ["", "--sla=.167", "--ext=1.50", "--cap=.750"].each do |option|
# job.execute_command("texmfstart texfont --ve=test --co=test --
ma --in #{option} demofont")
# end
job.execute_command("texmfstart texfont --ve=test --co=test --ma --in
demofont.dat")
I imagine this is where I should start? I try:
fonts $ ruby mfonts.rb
mfonts.rb:5: uninitialized constant Job (NameError)
I know little to nothing about Ruby, and less about texmfstart.
So, what do I do next?
