Download of Sources

Sources of the atlas are available via http://www.partim.de/pub/src/atlas200/ as tar.gz files. The version nummer is based on the last sector of line numbers which has been processed. The newest version is the one with the highest version number.

Building From the Sources

Necessary Software

The tools necessary to built from the soures depends on what you want. To get a print edition in PostScript format you probably need a TeX distribution with Metapost and a POSIX compatible make. To build the PDF edition you also need pdfTeX which should be part of TeX distributions these days.

Build Instructions

To build the print editions issue make or, if you want PDF, make pdf. Now it takes some time to build. If you want single pages you give make the file name, ie., the page number plus .ps or .pdf. To build, say, page Gc in pdf you type make gc.pdf.

The Makefile has at its very beginning a couple of tweakable variables. Currently this is only OUTMODE which determines the amount of decoration included. Note that due to the primitive Makefile you have to call make clean after changes.

Building some of the PDF maps requires more memory than TeX is usually allowed to use. It breaks with a message "main memory exceeded" or "save size exceeded". In that case the TeX configuration needs to be adjusted. It can be found in the file texmf.cnf. TeTeX stores it in /usr/share/texmf/web2c (Debian breaks it up into lots of smaller files in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.d). Increasing the value of main_memory to 4000000 and save_size to 150000 should do the trick. After changing TeX needs to be re-initialized by calling texconfig init.
