-This is a file of notes I made in my work with the k version of Xdvi.
-The notes are intended as being usefull for myself as well as people
-that try to compile xdvik on platforms where it has not been atempted
-before. Because the largest problem is the autoconf stuff. I can't
-seem to find good docs and I find the info manual confusing.
-
-Please send bug-reports to janl@math.uio.no and include as much (relevant)
-information as possible (such as platform, compiler, experiments carried
-out to try to fix the problem and so forth).
-
-xdvik-21.23 compiles and runs fine for me on HP-UX 10.20, Linux/Redhat
-5.1 and Solaris 5.5. 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. There is
- a macro in Pauls configure.in for this but there is another, incompatible
- from kpathsea for toolkit selection. Kpathsea code used on unclear
- grouds.
-- Not sure that there is a actual test for wether the user wants
- MKTEXPK/MAKETEXPK anywhere?
-- GS_PATH cannot be set except by CFLAGS=-DGS_PATH=...
- Paul has a macro for this. 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. I suspect they should be moved
- but found them confusing
