[pdftex] Problem: testing MkIV on pdftex-t manual source

[Richard Chan]

I'm new to all this stuff - does MkIV build the pdftex manual?

I ran into this problem running ConTeXt minimals on the pdftex 1.4
manual sources
context --mode=screen --result=TESTING pdftex-t:
 
LuaTeX warning (Object streams): \pdfobjcompresslevel > 0 requires
\pdfminorversion > 4. Object streams disabled now.

I could build the manual using texexec.

Thank you.
