For a high-level overview of building TeX Live, see
http://tug.org/texlive/build.html. In brief:
-To configure and make the source tree, run ./Build.
-To build (mostly) without optimization, run ./Build --debug.
-To make without configuring, run TL_CONFIGURE=true ./Build.
+- To configure and make the source tree, run ./Build.
+ This builds in subdirectory Work/, and installs into subdirectory inst/.
+
+- To build (mostly) without optimization, run ./Build --debug.
+
+- If the make fails and you want to rebuild without starting from scratch:
+ cd Work/whatever/subdir && make
+
Email tlbuild@tug.org if problems.
(Nearly everything the Build script does can be overridden via
environment variables; just take a look to see the names.)
Many more details about the TL build system, such as configuring to work
-on a single program, adding new programs or libraries, recompiling after
-fixing problems, etc., are in the doc/tlbuild* document and the sibling
-README* files here (which are generated from that document).
