5 Building and installing dvi2bitmap

dvi2bitmap is packaged in two slightly different ways, one which respects the bundling conventions of the Starlink Project, and one which is more usual for network-distributed software.

When you unpack the distribution tarball, you should find at least the files dvi2bitmap_source.tar, Makefile.starlink and mk. If you're on a Starlink machine, you can, and should, build the software the Starlink way, using the mk script (see Section 5.2); but if you're not, you should unpack the dvi2bitmap_source.tar file, and build it the conventional way (see Section 5.1). Since the Starlink mk script is really just a driver for the Makefile within the tar file, you should get the same results both ways.
