Re: Creating Install Files

In my article, I mentioned that the Slackware one works in that it makes a file tree of where the files to go to. I made an archive with that and installed on a Debian system. The only problem is that euphoria.pdf creation is broken in the repo. I am no expert on TeX and something in the CREOLE to TeX production results in something my TeX system cannot handle.
! LaTeX Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte "A0.
This is no-breaking space if it were ISO encoding. I thought that changing the convert.e file into UTF-8 would fix that. It didn't. Although it is nice to have UTF-8 everywhere.
If I were to print out the manual I would miss the PDF. I have no intention of doing that though.
It seems to me we should just give up PDF creation, put up tar balls for Linux-i686 and a zip for Windows X. Call it 4.2.0.
Again, Linux is ready for release if you don't care about TeX or PDF. Is it the case that everyone who uses Linux doesn't care about a release. Silence from the other users of the forum will be interpreted by myself as apathy for it just like the previous issue. Perhaps there are only those who have a git checkout of repo that they can build with, or those that never want to upgrade. We don't know.
