CONSTRUCTION WORK
=================
-The TeX Live build system is currently under reconstruction.
+The TeX Live build system is currently under reconstruction. It is now
+nearly complete, except for the directory
+ utils/xindy/
+and a few features not yet available. Moreover the directory
+ texk/xdvik/
+still needs some work, and building in that subdirectory may fail.
-At the moment the `Build' script should succeed, but might as well fail.
+My builds on i686-linux and i686-Darwin both went through without any
+problems.
-Please inform me of any failures!
+Please try ./Build for your system and tell me about any failures.
-The new build system is nearly complete, except for the directory
+If building a particular subdirectory, e.g., texk/xdvik/ fails, try
+ TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS='--disable-xdvik' ./Build
+(assuming a bourne compatible shell).
- utils/xindy
+If there are problems with the cxx-runtime-hack (gcc only), please try adding
+'--disable-cxx-runtime-hack' to TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS.
-and a few features not yet available.
+Good luck!
