-2 Overview of build system
-**************************
-
-The TeX Live build system was redesigned in 2009 to consistently use
-Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool. Thus, running
- 'configure && make && make check && make install'
-or the essentially-equivalent top-level 'Build' script suffices to build
-and install the TL programs. The 'make check' clause performs various
-tests of the generated programs--not strictly required but strongly
-recommended. Running 'configure --help' will display a comprehensive
-list of all 'configure' options.
-
- The main components of the TL build system are:
-
-'libs/LIB'
- Generic libraries.
-
-'texk/LIB'
- TeX-specific libraries in subdirectories, notably LIB='kpathsea'.
- (The other one is 'texk/ptexenc'.)
-
-'texk/PROG'
- TeX-specific programs (that use Kpathsea).
-
-'utils/PROG'
- Other programs (that don't use Kpathsea).
-
- The primary design goal of the build system is modularity. Each
-program and library module (or package) specifies its own requirements
-and properties, such as required libraries, whether an installed
-(system) version of a library can be used, 'configure' options to be
-seen at the top level, and more. An explicit list of all available
-modules is kept in a single central place: 'm4/kpse-pkgs.m4'.
-
- A second, related goal is to configure and build each library before
-configuring any other (program or library) module which uses that
-library. This allows checking for properties and features of a library
-built as part of the TL tree in much the same way as for a system
-version of that library.
-
- All generic libraries and several programs are maintained
-independently. The corresponding modules use (most of) the distributed
-source tree and document any modifications of that source.
-
- All this is for the sake of simplifying both upgrading of modules and
-integrating new modules into the TL build system. (Despite all efforts,
-neither task is easy.)
