I'm going to port Metapost to a different platform. From the the sources I got mp.web , mp.ch , dvitomp.web , and dvitomp.ch . Using the *.web files together with the supplied change files (*.ch) by WAEVE and TANGLE works. WEAVE and TANGLE without a change file doesn't work; it looks like this is not implemented. But using an a change file containing only a comment line and a line with a single space also doesn't work; WEAVE and TANGLE must be aborted and the log files only contain \input webma As a workaround I used dummy change files like the following: % dummy change file to keep MikTeX WEAVE / TANGLE happy @x \def\title{MetaPost} @y \def\title{MetaPost} @z which showed no problems. So my questions are: - why do the programs not accept a change file containing only commens, - can WEAVE / TANGLE be modified (in a future MikTeX version) to work without a changefile? Regards Ralf |
