Description
The TeX macro file supp-pdf.tex is necessary for converting Metapost to PDF (omega.pdf). It is used by make dist, and it breaks make dist if absent. It is present in TeXLive, but not on my installation (SuSE 11.1). My recommendation: include it in the distribution for RC1.

I'm not sooo fond of actually including this file, maybe checking for the presence of conTeXT, otherwise disabling the make .pdf things!?

I agree: check for installed ConTeXT (how?); if not present, disable PDF generation iff supp-pdf.tex is involved.

I just checked some bits about context, the context frontend is called texexec. Checking for this and possibly for the string TeXExec in the output of texexec --version (just to be sure) should be enough.

I just added [1559] a test for supp-pdf.tex. This can now be used in the Makefile (conditional SUPP_PDF_AVAILABLE).

make dist is not intended for the ordinary user, therefore this is not a blocker. See my comment to #141.

In r1581 I included the conditional SUPP_PDF_AVAILABLE in the O'Mega Makefile structure. Now omega.pdf is not included in the distribution if supp-pdf.tex is not available. This is not ideal, but OK. Of course, we should always build distributions all the fancy way. Closing the ticket.
I had the same problem on Debian *lol*. supp-pdf.tex is part of the package conTeXT. Either we just include it in the distribution or we check in the configure. Problem with all the TeX Krempel is that we have to keep them up-to-date as with the libtool files. But we can check from time to time. So -- include it in the distribution.
