Refactor X11 font description generation.
Integrate it with our "new" (post-2014) Automake-based build system.
* src/utils/xtotroff/Makefile.in: Delete relic of old build system.
Also, it had a bug: it generated X11 output device 'DESC' files with a
"unitwidth 10" directive even for the "-12" devices, which is not
correct (the in-tree DESC files we've been shipping for years were
nevertheless correct, apparently fixed by hand by James Clark in groff
1.07 [March 1993]).
* src/utils/xtotroff/xtotroff.am: Define `xtotroff` variable for use by
X11 font description generation targets below.
* font/devX100-12/devX100-12.am [!WITHOUT_X11]:
* font/devX100/devX100.am [!WITHOUT_X11]:
* font/devX75-12/devX75-12.am [!WITHOUT_X11]:
* font/devX75/devX75.am [!WITHOUT_X11]: Define devX*_fontdir variables
here.
* font/devX100-12/devX100-12.am:
* font/devX100/devX100.am:
* font/devX75-12/devX75-12.am:
* font/devX75/devX75.am: Add new (phony) targets, variously named
"devX{100,100_12,75,75_12}-font-descriptions", to generate the
corresponding output device's DESC file and run xtotroff(1) to
generate its font description files. Be sure to set the correct
"unitwidth" for the "-12" devices. Add new dependency-only rule
"maintainer-font-descriptions" depending on these new targets for
convenience (and future expansion to devps and devlj4). Add new
devX*_fontsrcdir variable to distinguish the source directory for the
font description files, and use it in the devX*_font-descriptions
targets.
* FOR-RELEASE: Document existence of "maintainer-font-descriptions" Make
target and when to run it.
Running this target with the aforementioned bug fix, overwriting the
in-tree DESC and font description files using data gathered from a
running X server, results in no changes whatsoever. Say what you will
about X11 core font technology--it's stable.
