It conforms to both the GNU coding standards and the TeX +directory structure (TDS) standard. For rationale and further +explanation, please see those documents. The GNU standard is available +as `ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/standards/standards.texi' and +mirrors. The TDS document is available from `CTAN:/tex-archive/tds' +(*note unixtex.ftp::.). + + You can change the default paths in many ways (*note Changing search +paths::.). One common desire is to put everything (binaries and all) +under a single top-level directory such as `/usr/local/texmf' or +`/opt/texmf'--in the terms used below, make PREFIX and TEXMF the same. +For specific instructions on doing that, see *Note configure +scenarios::. + + Here is a skeleton of the default directory structure, extracted from +the TDS document: + + PREFIX/ installation root (`/usr/local' by default) + bin/ executables + man/ man pages + include/ C header files + info/ GNU info files + lib/ libraries (`libkpathsea.*') + share/ architecture-independent files + texmf/ TDS root + bibtex/ BibTeX input files + bib/ BibTeX databases + base/ base distribution (e.g., `xampl.bib') + misc/ single-file databases + PKG/ name of a package + bst/ BibTeX style files + base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.bst', `acm.bst') + misc/ single-file styles + PKG/ name of a package + doc/ additional documentation + dvips/ `.pro', `.ps', `psfonts.map' + fonts/ font-related files + TYPE/ file type (e.g., `tfm', `pk') + MODE/ type of output device (types `pk' and `gf' only) + SUPPLIER/ name of a font supplier (e.g., `public') + TYPEFACE/ name of a typeface (e.g., `cm') + dpiNNN/ font resolution (types `pk' and `gf' only) + metafont/ Metafont (non-font) input files + base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.mf') + misc/ single-file packages (e.g., `modes.mf') + PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `mfpic') + metapost/ MetaPost input files + base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.mp') + misc/ single-file packages + PKG/ name of a package + support/ support files for MetaPost-related utilities (e.g., `trfonts.map') + mft/ `MFT' inputs (e.g., `plain.mft') + tex/ TeX input files + FORMAT/ name of a format (e.g., `plain') + base/ base distribution for FORMAT (e.g., `plain.tex') + misc/ single-file packages (e.g., `webmac.tex') + local/ local additions to or local configuration files for FORMAT + PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `graphics', `mfnfss') + generic/ format-independent packages + hyphen/ hyphenation patterns (e.g., `hyphen.tex') + images/ image input files (e.g., Encapsulated PostScript) + misc/ single-file format-independent packages (e.g., `null.tex'). + PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `babel') + web2c/ implementation-dependent files (`.pool', `.fmt', `texmf.cnf', etc.) + + Some concrete examples for most file types: + + /usr/local/bin/tex + /usr/local/man/man1/xdvi.1 + /usr/local/info/kpathsea.info + /usr/local/lib/libkpathsea.a + /usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/base/plain.bst + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmr10.600pk + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/pandora/pnr10.mf + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/utopia/putr.pfa + /usr/local/share/texmf/metafont/base/plain.mf + /usr/local/share/texmf/metapost/base/plain.mp + /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex + /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex + /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/tex.pool + /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/tex.fmt + /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf + |
