If a program or library built in module A (e.g., -texk/dvipng) depends on a library supplied by module B (e.g., libs/libpng or -texk/kpathsea) then module B is built before configuring module A. - -This package demonstrates how to first configure and build each of the -libraries in the TL tree (texk/kpathsea and libs/*), before configuring -other libraries or programs using that library. - -This is mainly important for modules maintained independently, outside the -TL tree. Such modules can be configured and built as part of the TL tree or -independently using installed (system) versions of the required libraries. -Building these required libraries before configuring the module, allows to -perform the same tests to determine features of the (uninstalled or system) -libraries. This should considerably reduce the work required to integrate -new versions of such modules into the LT tree. - -This mechanism is intended to become part of the TL build system. It is -therefore important to test it now on all different build systems, instead -of complaining later. - -============================= - -The tarball is available as - ftp://ftpth.mppmu.mpg.de/pub/peb/TL/tex-live-2009test-1.4.tar.bz2 - ftp://ftpth.mppmu.mpg.de/pub/peb/TL/tex-live-2009test-1.4.tar.gz - -============================= - -Some remarks: -------------- - -At the moment all (sub-)packages use Automake; that's just a lot simpler, -but translation to plain Autoconf should be straightforward. - -All programs use Libtool in order to properly handle (uninstalled or system) -libtool libraries. - -A few libraries use Libtool but most don't. - -============================= - -2009-02-15 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de> |
