- tex-live-2009test-1.4
- =====================
-
-Purpose:
---------
-
-Testing the mechanism to configure and buid the various TL modules
- libs/*
- utils/*
- texk/*
-in a different order. 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.
