WTF? You don't have a working TeX #41

Closed h0tc0d3 closed 6 years ago

h0tc0d3 commented 6 years ago

Why do you force people to install heavy and unnecessary package? It really sucks!

Making all in .
texi2dvi -I ./doc --pdf ../../src/cloog/doc/cloog.texi -o doc/cloog.pdf
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one.  If you want to use
this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the --help
output for more details.

For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://tug.org/texlive,
or do a web search for TeX and your operating system or distro.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:2308: doc/cloog.pdf] Error 1

Because it produces the documentation.  Generally, we find it useful when software comes with the documentation.

From the little information you provided, it appears that your installation of texi2dvi is incorrect or incomplete.  Had it been not installed at all, the build system would not have attempted to build the documentation.

If you think the build system is malfunctioning, you are welcome to submit a patch with a fix.  Some courteousness is also welcome if you want that ever reviewed.

LOL. The stupidest explanation that I hear! Man pages don't knowing? txt files? We are using git and github. Almost all people using Markdown for documentation! Where I'll find you TeX under mingw? This is an illiterate decision to install the package in a few gigabytes! A competent developer always tries to limit the dependence of his package on other packages. I'm very surprised that the maintainers of such a large project do it! It's very unprofessional! Yes, I compiled. But I had to patch the make file.

Neither git nor Github are anyhow related to the our choice of documentation system.  Just on a side note, CLooG started before Markdown existed and was not using git initially.  The fact that you don't know what TeX is or how to have it running on your system as well as the overall tone of the conversation lets me question your assessment of our professionalism ;)

Anyhow, the easy fix is to edit the Makefile produced by running ./configure and replace the like looking similar to "TEXI2DVI = texi2dvi" to "TEXI2DVI = echo".

I will close this issue and not answer any further questions unless you start behaving, as you put it, "professionally".

@ftynse I would also suggest locking this discussion.
