But then a trivial change to pdfroff.ms broke it again.
pdfroff.ms??? That isn't one of the distributed files; do you mean
pdfmark.ms? If yes, what trivial change broke it? Was it a `make'
that failed? If not, what was the failing command?
You're right, pdfmark.ms. I need to not post when I'm frustrated. :-P
The change I made was to define .HD at the top of the file as follows:
.de HD
. pdfmark /Label (\\n% /PAGELABEL
..
The intent was to test my theory about setting PDF's page numbers to
match the current page number (i.e. if you're in the TOC, the page
number should be "iii" or something similar).
Then I did "make" and it gave me the same "gs 8.53 failed" error as I
had before I reloaded. Backing out the change and "make"ing gave me
the same error. It's like you can only do it once.
I guess I should bite the bullet, install it, and see if that takes
care of it.
Perhaps. But it really should run within the build directory, if the
environment is appropriately configured.
Agreed. If I get a chance, I'll figure out how to make gs/ps2pdf get
ultra-chatty about what it's doing and hack pdfroff accordingly.
