[tex-k] Issues compiling web2c

[David Carter-Hitchin]

Hi Folks,

I hope you can help out.  I'm trying to compile web2c (7.5.4) on an iMac and
I'm running into a few issues.

1) I'm getting this error:

David-Carter-Hitchins-iMac:web2c-7.5.4 david$ make

      for dir in $esubdirs; do \
        echo making all in $dir; \
        (if test -f $dir/Makefile; then cd $dir && make all; else true; fi)
|| exit 1; \
      done

make[2]: *** [mpextra.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1


Looking at the line in question, it is:

calledit P4C(packedASCIIcode *, filename,
             poolpointer, fnstart,
             integer, fnlength,
             integer, linenumber)
{

So this error means that one of the types is not recognised?  I did some
searching but got lost in a maze of conditional includes!  Anyone got any
clue what is going on here?

2)  If I run 'make check' (I know, just out of curiousity, to see how much
is built), then I see this error:

(/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-hu.
tex Huhyphn - hungarian hyphenation patterns v20081106
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pattern memory=262000].
l.54461 uj2j1^^c3^^a12ru

Google searching showed that it was something like 'trie_size' was too low,
but I changed that to 4 million in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf in the source but
no luck.  Is there any switch I can put on tex to trap the error?  This is
the command that is run:

TEXMFCNF=../kpathsea ./tex --progname=olatex --jobname=olatex --ini \\input
latex.ltx </dev/null

Anyway, if TeX is running, it means I'm close to having web2c fully built I
guess.

Thanks people!
David Carter-Hitchin.
