Greetings,
I was trying to install Spot2.9, and was `make`ing it. It however throws the following
error:
[...]
The requirements do not mention a local TeX
installation. Is there a way to bypass this? Thanks.
Hi Harsh,
You should not need LaTeX to build Spot from its tarball, unless the
timestamps of the source files were modified somehow. You do need LaTeX
if you build from the Git repository.
In any case, running "touch doc/tl/tl.pdf" should prevent that file from
being rebuilt.
I'd also advise using Spot 2.12 instead of 2.9.
