That is not to say that all issues in the k port -of xdvi has been adressed, or even found. - -Known features: -* Controll of font/file generation by X-resource and commandline is - over-ridden by controll by environment variable/texmf.cnf setting. - This is unfortunate but as far as I know unavoidable and thus a - feature rather than a bug. If you want it to be resource/commandline - controlled make sure there is no setting in the environment/texmf.cnf -* Under kpathsea the user cannot select MOTIF interface. I'm not quite - sure if it works correctly either, the k patch touch code at and around - places where xdvi had #if MOTIF. -* Some k features such as HTEX/HAVE_LIBWWW is not practical to turn off. - Changes in the autoconf setup must be acompanied by changes in - mksedscript. The HTEX features also appear to be rather fragile w.r.t. - going back across documents/file/http borders. - -configure.in: -- autoscan says we're missing these tests: - AC_CHECK_HEADERS(sys/file.h sys/time.h) - AC_CHECK_FUNCS(mkdir rmdir select) - AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL - On the other hand, their outcome would not be used. - -c-auto.in: -- Not sure if there are tests for all the things mentioned in this file. - Not sure how to find out. -- There is no AC_ARG_WITH in configure.in to activate MOTIF.

Must be compatible with kpathsea, but - I haven't checked this yet. - -config.hin: -- This file is not used in the k port. c-auto.in is kpathsea style... -- A lot of the symbols from this was moved to c-auto.in, those _not_ moved - are left in the file as a reference.
