Please try ./Build for your system and tell me about any failures. +Make sure to use GNU Make (an Automake generated Makefile is supposed not to +require GNU Make, but that seems not to be the case). + +If /bin/sh on your system can not handle command substitutions such as +'$(COMMAND)' and XSI constructs such as 'VAR+=VAL', you must set +CONFIG_SHELL to a shell that does. Due to a bug in current Autoconf this +should be done both in the environment and on the command line, e.g., + CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash ./Build CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash +(assuming bourne shell syntax). + If building a particular subdirectory, e.g., texk/xdvik/ fails, try TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS='--disable-xdvik' ./Build -(assuming a bourne compatible shell). +(again assuming bourne shell syntax). If there are problems with the cxx-runtime-hack (gcc only), please try adding '--disable-cxx-runtime-hack' to TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS.
