-
-2.1 Simple installation
-=======================
-
-Installing TeX and friends for the first time can be a daunting
-experience. Thus, you may prefer to skip this whole thing and just get
-precompiled executables: see *note unixtex.ftp::.
-
- This section explains what to do if you wish to take the defaults for
-everything, and generally to install in the simplest possible way. Most
-steps here refer to corresponding subsection in the next section which
-explains how to override defaults and generally gives more details.
-
- By default everything will be installed under '/usr/local' and the
-following discussion assumes this. However, if you already have TeX
-installed, its location is used to derive the directory under which
-everything is to be installed.
-
- 1. Be sure you have enough disk space: approximately 8 megabytes for
- the compressed archives, 15MB for sources, 50MB for compilation,
- 40MB for the (initial) installed system (including library files).
- *Note Disk space::.
-
- 2. Retrieve these distribution archives:
- <ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texk.tar.gz>
- These are the sources, which you will be compiling.
-
- <ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texklib.tar.gz>
- This is a basic set of input files. You should unpack it in
- the directory '/usr/local/share'; doing so will create a
- 'texmf' subdirectory there.
-
- These archives are mirrored on the CTAN hosts, in the
- 'systems/web2c' directory.
-
- *Note Kpathsea application distributions::.
-
- 3. When using the default search paths, there is no need to edit any
- distribution files. *Note Changing search paths::.
-
- 4. At the top level of the distribution, run 'sh configure'. (If you
- have the GNU Bash shell installed, run 'bash configure'.) *Note
- Running configure::.
-
- 5. 'make'. *Note Running make::. If you are using a BSD 4.4 system
- such as FreeBSD or NetBSD, you may have to use GNU make (often
- installed in '/usr/local/bin'), not the BSD make.
-
- 6. 'make install'. *Note Installing files::.
-
- 7. 'make distclean'. *Note Cleaning up::.
-
- 8. Set up a cron job to rebuild the filename database that makes
- searching faster. This line will rebuild it every midnight:
- 0 0 * * * cd /usr/local/share/texmf && /BINDIR/mktexlsr
- *Note Filename database generation::, and *note Filename
- database::.
-
- 9. If you're installing Dvips, you also need to set up configuration
- files for your printers and make any additional PostScript fonts
- available. *Note (dvips)Installation::. If you have any color
- printers, see *note (dvips)Color device configuration::.
-
- 10. The first time you run a DVI driver, a bunch of PK fonts will be
- built by Metafont via 'mktexpk' (and added to the filename
- database). This will take some time. Don't be alarmed; they will
- created only this first time (unless something is wrong with your
- path definitions).
-
- By default, 'mktexpk' will create these fonts in a hierarchy under
- '/var/tmp/texfonts'; it simply assumes that '/var/tmp' exists and
- is globally writable. If you need a different arrangement, see
- *note mktex configuration::.
-
- *Note mktex scripts::.
-
- 11. For some simple tests, try 'tex story \\bye' and 'latex sample2e'.
- Then run 'xdvi story' or 'dvips sample2e' on the resulting DVI
- files to preview/print the documents. *Note Installation

-2.2 Custom installation
-=======================
-
-Most sites need to modify the default installation procedure in some
-way, perhaps merely changing the prefix from '/usr/local', perhaps
-adding extra compiler or loader options to work around 'configure' bugs.
-This section explains how to override default choices. For additional
-distribution-specific information:
- * 'dviljk/INSTALL'.
- * *Note (dvips)Installation::.
- * *Note (web2c)Installation::.
- * 'xdvik/INSTALL'.
-
- These instructions are for Unix systems. Other operating-system
-specific distributions have their own instructions. The code base
-itself supports Amiga, DOS, OS/2, and VMS.
-
- Following are the same steps as in the previous section (which
-describes the simplest installation), but with much more detail.

-----------------------------------------

-The archive <ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/texk.tar.gz> contains all of the
-Kpathsea applications I maintain, and the library itself. For example,
-since NeXT does not generally support X11, you'd probably want to skip
-'xdvik' (or simply remove it after unpacking 'texk.tar.gz'. If you are

-'dviljk.tar.gz'
- DVI to PCL, for LaserJet printers.
-
-'dvipsk.tar.gz'
- DVI to PostScript, for previewers, printers, or PDF generation.
-
-'web2c.tar.gz'
- The software needed to compile TeX and friends.
-
-'web.tar.gz'
- The original WEB source files, also used in compilation.
-
-'xdvik.tar.gz'
- DVI previewing under the X window system.
-
- If you want to use the Babel LaTeX package for support of non-English
-typesetting, you may need to retrieve additional files. See the file
-'install.txt' in the Babel distribution.

-
-2.2.3 Changing search paths
----------------------------
-
-If the search paths for your installation differ from the standard TeX
-directory structure (*note Introduction: (tds)Top.), edit the file
-'kpathsea/texmf.in' as desired, before running 'configure'. For
-example, if you have all your fonts or macros in one big directory.
-
- You may also wish to edit the file 'mktex.cnf', either before or
-after installation, to control various aspects of 'mktexpk' and friends.
-*Note mktex configuration::.
-
- You do not need to edit 'texmf.in' to change the default top-level or
-other installation _directories_ (only the paths). You can and should
-do that when you run 'configure' (next step).
-
- You also do not need to edit 'texmf.in' if you are willing to rely on
-'texmf.cnf' at runtime to define the paths, and let the compile-time
-default paths be incorrect. Usually there is no harm in doing this.
-
- The section below explains default generation in more detail.

-* Default path features::

-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Default path features, Next: Default path generation, Up: Changing search paths
-
-2.2.3.1 Default path features
-.............................
-
-The purpose of having all the different files described in the section
-above is to avoid having the same information in more than one place.
-If you change the installation directories or top-level prefix at
-'configure'-time, those changes will propagate through the whole
-sequence. And if you change the default paths in 'texmf.in', those
-changes are propagated to the compile-time defaults.
-
- The Make definitions are all repeated in several Makefile's; but
-changing the top-level 'Makefile' should suffice, as it passes down all
-the variable definitions, thus overriding the submakes. (The
-definitions are repeated so you can run Make in the subdirectories, if
-you should have occasion to.)
-
- By default, the bitmap font paths end with '/$MAKETEX_MODE', thus
-including the device name (usually a Metafont mode name such as
-'ljfour'). This distinguishes two different devices with the same
-resolution--a write/white from a write/black 300dpi printer, for
-example.
-
- However, since most sites don't have this complication, Kpathsea
-(specifically, the 'kpse_init_prog' function in 'kpathsea/proginit.c')
-has a special case: if the mode has not been explicitly set by the user
-(or in a configuration file), it sets 'MAKETEX_MODE' to '/'. This makes
-the default PK path, for example, expand into '.../pk//', so fonts will
-be found even if there is no subdirectory for the mode (if you arranged
-things that way because your site has only one printer, for example) or
-if the program is mode-independent (e.g., 'pktype').
-
- To make the paths independent of the mode, simply edit 'texmf.in'
-before installation, or the installed 'texmf.cnf', and remove the
-'$MAKETEX_MODE'.
-
- *Note mktex script arguments::, for how this interacts with
-'mktexpk'.
-
- *Note TeX directory structure: TeX directory structure, for a
-description of the default arrangement of the input files that comprise
-the TeX system.

-
-2.2.3.2 Default path generation
-...............................
-
-This section describes how the default paths are constructed.
-
- You may wish to ignore the whole mess and simply edit 'texmf.cnf'
-after it is installed, perhaps even copying it into place beforehand so
-you can complete the installation, if it seems necessary.
-
- To summarize the chain of events that go into defining the default
-paths:
-
- 1. 'configure' creates a 'Makefile' from each 'Makefile.in'.
-
- 2. When Make runs in the 'kpathsea' directory, it creates a file
- 'texmf.sed' that substitutes the Make value of '$(var)' for a
- string '@var@'. The variables in question are the one that define
- the installation directories.
-
- 3. 'texmf.sed' (together with a little extra magic--see
- 'kpathsea/Makefile') is applied to 'texmf.in' to generate
- 'texmf.cnf'. This is the file that will eventually be installed
- and used.
-
- 4. The definitions in 'texmf.cnf' are recast as C '#define''s in
- 'paths.h'. These values will be the compile-time defaults; they
- are not used at runtime unless no 'texmf.cnf' file can be found.
-
- (That's a lie: the compile-time defaults are what any extra :'s in
- 'texmf.cnf' expand into; but the paths as distributed have no extra
- :'s, and there's no particular reason for them to.)
-

-
-2.2.4 Running 'configure'
--------------------------
-
-Run 'sh configure OPTIONS' (in the top-level directory, the one
-containing 'kpathsea/'), possibly using a shell other than 'sh' (*note
-configure shells::).
-
- 'configure' adapts the source distribution to the present system via
-'#define''s in '*/c-auto.h', which are created from the corresponding
-'c-auto.in'. It also creates a 'Makefile' from the corresponding
-'Makefile.in', doing '@VAR@' and 'ac_include' substitutions).
-
- 'configure' is the best place to control the configuration,
-compilation, and installed location of the software, either via
-command-line options, or by setting environment variables before
-invoking it. For example, you can disable 'mktexpk' by default with the
-option '--disable-mktexpk'. *Note configure options::.

-2.2.4.1 'configure' shells
-..........................
-
-Considerable effort has gone into trying to ensure that the 'configure'
-scripts can be run by most Bourne shell variants. If 'sh' runs into
-trouble, your best bet is to use Bash, the GNU Bourne-again shell (*note
-(bash)Top::).
-
- Bourne shell variants for which problems have been reported in the
-past are:
-'ksh'
- Old versions of the Korn shell may fail to handle the scripts. The
- Korn shell may be installed as '/bin/sh' on AIX, in which case
- '/bin/bsh' may serve instead.
-
-'ash'
- Old versions of ash are unable to handle the scripts. Ash is
- sometimes installed as '/bin/sh' on NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux
- systems. '/bin/bash' should be available for those systems, but
- might not be part of a default installation.
-
-'Ultrix /bin/sh'
- '/bin/sh' under Ultrix is a DEC-grown shell that is notably
- deficient in many ways. '/bin/sh5' may be necessary.

-2.2.4.3 'configure' environment
-...............................
-
-'configure' uses the value of the following environment variables in
-determining your system's characteristics, and substitutes for them in
-Makefile's:
-
-'CC'
- The compiler to use: default is 'gcc' if it's installed, otherwise
- 'cc'.
-
-'CFLAGS'
- Options to give the compiler: default is '-g -O2' for 'gcc', '-g'
- otherwise. 'CFLAGS' comes after any other options. You may need
- to include '-w' here if your compilations commonly have useless
- warnings (e.g., 'NULL redefined'), or 'configure' may fail to
- detect the presence of header files (it takes the messages on
- standard error to mean the header file doesn't exist).
-
-'CPPFLAGS'
- Options to pass to the compiler preprocessor; this matters most for
- configuration, not the actual source compilation. The 'configure'
- script often does only preprocessing (e.g., to check for the
- existence of #include files), and 'CFLAGS' is not used for this.
- You may need to set this to something like
- '-I/usr/local/include/wwwhatever' if you have the libwww library
- installed for hyper-xdvik (see 'xdvik/INSTALL').
-
-'DEFS'
- Additional preprocessor options, but not used by 'configure'.
- Provided for enabling or disabling program features, as documented
- in the various program-specific installation instructions. 'DEFS'
- comes before any compiler options included by the distribution
- 'Makefile's or by 'configure'.
-
-'LDFLAGS'
- Additional options to give to the loader. 'LDFLAGS' comes before
- any other linker options.
-
-'LIBS'
- Additional libraries to link with.

-2.2.4.4 'configure' scenarios
-.............................
-
-Here are some common installation scenarios:
-
- * Including X support in Metafont. This is disabled by default,
- since many sites have no use for it, and it's a leading cause of
- configuration problems.
- configure --with-x
-
- * Putting the binaries, TeX files, GNU info files, etc. into a single
- TeX hierarchy, say '/here/texmf', requires overriding defaults in
- 'configure':
- configure --prefix=/here/texmf --datadir=/here
-
- * You can compile on multiple architectures simultaneously either by
- building symbolic link trees with the 'lndir' script from the X11
- distribution, or with the '--srcdir' option:
- configure --srcdir=SRCDIR
-
- * If you are installing binaries for multiple architectures into a
- single hierarchy, you will probably want to override the default
- 'bin' and 'lib' directories, something like this:
- configure --prefix=TEXMF --datadir=TEXMF \

-2.2.4.5 Shared library
-......................
-
-You can compile Kpathsea as a shared library on a few systems, by
-specifying the option '--enable-shared' when you run 'configure'.
-
- The main advantage in doing this is that the executables can then
-share the code, thus decreasing memory and disk space requirements.
-
- On some systems, you can record the location of shared libraries in a
-binary, usually by giving certain options to the linker. Then
-individual users do not need to set their system's environment variable
-(e.g., 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH') to find shared libraries. If you want to do
-this, you will need to add the necessary options to 'LDFLAGS' yourself;
-for example, on Solaris, include something like '-R${prefix}/lib', on
-IRIX or Linux, use '-rpath${prefix}/lib'. (Unfortunately, making this
-happen by default is very difficult, because of interactions with an
-existing installed shared library.)

-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Running make, Next: Installing files, Prev: Running configure, Up: Custom installation
-
-2.2.5 Running 'make'
---------------------
-
-'make' (still in the top-level directory). This also creates the
-'texmf.cnf' and 'paths.h' files that define the default search paths,
-and (by default) the 'plain' and 'latex' TeX formats.
-
- You can override directory names and other values at 'make'-time.
-'make/paths.make' lists the variables most commonly reset. For example,
-'make default_texsizes=600' changes the list of fallback resolutions.
-
- You can also override each of 'configure''s environment variables
-(*note configure environment::). The Make variables have the same
-names.
-
- Finally, you can supply additional options via the following
-variables. ('configure' does not use these.)
-
-'XCPPFLAGS'
-'XDEFS'
- Preprocessor options.
-
-'XCFLAGS'
- Compiler options.
-
-'XLDFLAGS'
- Loader options (included at beginning of link commands).
-
-'XLOADLIBES'
- More loader options (included at end of link commands).
-
-'XMAKEARGS'
- Additional Make arguments passed to all sub-'make''s. You may need
- to include assignments to the other variables here via 'XMAKEARGS';
- for example: 'make XMAKEARGS="CFLAGS=-O XDEFS=-DA4"'.
-
- It's generally a bad idea to use a different compiler ('CC') or
-libraries ('LIBS') for compilation than you did for configuration, since
-the values 'configure' determined may then be incorrect.
-
- Adding compiler options to change the "universe" you are using
-(typically BSD vs. system V) is generally a cause of trouble. It's best
-to use the native environment, whatever that is; 'configure' and the
-software usually adapt best to that. In particular, under Solaris 2.x,
-you should not use the BSD-compatibility library ('libucb') or include
-files ('ucbinclude').
-
- If you want to use the Babel LaTeX package for support of non-English
-typesetting, you need to modify some files before making the LaTeX
-format. See the file 'install.txt' in the Babel distribution.
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Installing files, Next: Cleaning up, Prev: Running make, Up: Custom installation
-
-2.2.6 Installing files
-----------------------
-
-The basic command is the usual 'make install'. For security issues,
-*note Security::.
-
- The first time you install any manual in the GNU Info system, you
-should add a line (you choose where) to the file 'dir' in your
-'$(infodir)' directory. Sample text for this is given near the top of
-the Texinfo source files ('kpathsea/kpathsea.texi', 'dvipsk/dvips.texi',
-and 'web2c/doc/web2c.texi'). If you have a recent version of the GNU
-Texinfo distribution installed
-(<ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/texinfo-3.9.tar.gz> or later), this
-should happen automatically.
-
- On the offchance that this is your first Info installation, the 'dir'
-file I use is included in the distribution as 'etc/dir-example'.
-
- You may wish to use one of the following targets, especially if you
-are installing on multiple architectures:
- * 'make install-exec' to install in architecture-dependent
- directories, i.e., ones that depend on the '$(exec_prefix)' Make
- variable. This includes links to binaries, libraries, etc., not
- just "executables".
-
- * 'make install-data' to install in architecture-independent
- directories, such as documentation, configuration files, pool
- files, etc.
-
- If you use the Andrew File System, the normal path (e.g., PREFIX/bin)
-only gets you to a read-only copy of the files, and you must specify a
-different path for installation. The best way to do this is by setting
-the 'prefix' variable on the 'make' command line. The sequence becomes
-something like this:
- configure --prefix=/whatever
- make
- make install prefix=/afs/.SYSTEM.NAME/system/1.3/@sys/whatever
-With AFS, you will definitely want to use relative filenames in 'ls-R'
-(*note Filename database::), not absolute filenames. This is done by
-default, but check anyway.
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Cleaning up, Next: Filename database generation, Prev: Installing files, Up: Custom installation
-
-2.2.7 Cleaning up
------------------
-
-The basic command is 'make distclean'. This removes all files created
-by the build.
-
- Alternatively,
- * 'make mostlyclean' if you intend to compile on another
- architecture. For Web2C, since the generated C files are portable,
- they are not removed. If the 'lex' vs. 'flex' situation is going
- to be different on the next machine, 'rm web2c/lex.yy.c'.
-
- * 'make clean' to remove files created by compiling, but leave
- configuration files and Makefiles.
-
- * 'make maintainer-clean' to remove everything that the Makefiles can
- rebuild. This is more than 'distclean' removes, and you should
- only use it if you are thoroughly conversant with (and have the
- necessary versions of) Autoconf.
-
- * 'make extraclean' to remove other junk, e.g., core files, log
- files, patch rejects. This is independent of the other 'clean'
- targets.
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Filename database generation, Next: mktex scripts, Prev: Cleaning up, Up: Custom installation
-
-2.2.8 Filename database generation
-----------------------------------
-
-You will probably want to set up a 'cron' entry on the appropriate
-machine(s) to rebuild the filename database nightly or so, as in:
- 0 0 * * * cd TEXMF && /BINDIR/mktexlsr
-*Note Filename database::.
-
- Although the 'mktex...' scripts make every effort to add
-newly-created files on the fly, it can't hurt to make sure you get a
-fresh version every so often.
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: mktex scripts, Next: Installation testing, Prev: Filename database generation, Up: Custom installation
-
-2.2.9 'mktex' scripts
----------------------
-
-If Kpathsea cannot otherwise find a file, for some file types it is
-configured by default to invoke an external program to create it
-dynamically (*note mktex configuration::). These are collectively known
-as "'mktex' scripts", since most of them are named 'mktex...'.
-
- For example, this is useful for fonts (bitmaps, TFM's, and
-arbitrarily-sizable Metafont sources such as the Sauter and EC fonts),
-since any given document can use fonts never before referenced.
-Building all fonts in advance is therefore impractical, if not
-impossible.
-
- It is also useful for the TeX '.fmt' (and Metafont '.base' and
-Metapost '.mem' files, *note (Web2c)Memory dumps::), where
-pre-generating every format consumes a lot of both time and space.
-
- The script is passed the name of the file to create and possibly
-other arguments, as explained below. It must echo the full pathname of
-the file it created (and nothing else) to standard output; it can write
-diagnostics to standard error.

-* config: mktex configuration.
-* names: mktex script names.
-* args: mktex script arguments.

-
-2.2.9.1 'mktex' configuration
-.............................
-
-The list of file types and program names that can run an external
-program to create missing files is listed in the next section. In the
-absence of 'configure' options specifying otherwise, everything but
-'mktextex' will be enabled by default. The 'configure' options to
-change the defaults are:
-
- --without-mktexfmt-default
- --without-mktexmf-default
- --without-mktexocp-default
- --without-mktexofm-default
- --without-mktexpk-default
- --without-mktextfm-default
- --with-mktextex-default
-
- The 'configure' setting is overridden if the environment variable or
-configuration file value named for the script is set; e.g., 'MKTEXPK'
-(*note mktex script arguments::).
-
- 'mktexfmt' reads a file 'fmtutil.cnf', typically located in
-'texmf/web2c/' to glean its configuration information. The rest of the
-files and features in this section are primarily intended for the font
-generation scripts.
-
- As distributed, all the scripts source a file 'texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf'
-if it exists, so you can override various defaults. See 'mktex.opt',
-for instance, which defines the default mode, resolution, some special
-directory names, etc. If you prefer not to change the distributed
-scripts, you can simply create 'mktex.cnf' with the appropriate
-definitions (you do not need to create it if you have nothing to put in
-it). 'mktex.cnf' has no special syntax; it's an arbitrary Bourne shell
-script. The distribution contains a sample 'mktex.cnf' for you to copy
-and modify as you please (it is not installed anywhere).
-
- In addition, you can configure a number of features with the
-'MT_FEATURES' variable, which you can define:
-
- * in 'mktex.opt', as just mentioned;
-
- * by editing the file 'mktex.opt', either before 'make install' (in
- the source hierarchy) or after (in the installed hierarchy);
-
- * or in the environment.
-
- If none of the options below are enabled, 'mktexpk', 'mktextfm', and
-'mktexmf' follow the following procedure to decide where fonts should be
-installed. Find the tree where the font's sources are, and test the
-permissions of the 'fonts' directory of that tree to determine whether
-it is writable. If it is, put the files in the tree in appropriate
-locations. If it isn't writable, see whether the tree is a system tree
-(named in 'SYSTEXMF'). If so, the 'VARTEXFONTS' tree is used. In all
-other cases the working directory is used.
-
- The 'appendonlydir' option is enabled by default.
-
-'appendonlydir'
- Tell 'mktexdir' to create directories append-only, i.e., set their
- sticky bit (*note (coreutils)Mode Structure::). This feature is
- silently ignored on non-Unix platforms (e.g. Windows/NT and
- MS-DOS) which don't support similar functionality. This feature is
- enabled by default.
-
-'dosnames'
- Use 8.3 names; e.g., 'dpi600/cmr10.pk' instead of 'cmr10.600pk'.
- Note that this feature only affects filenames that would otherwise
- clash with other TeX-related filenames; 'mktex' scripts do nothing
- about filenames which exceed the 8+3 MS-DOS limits but remain
- unique when truncated (by the OS) to these limits, and nether do
- the scripts care about possible clashes with files which aren't
- related with TeX. For example, 'cmr10.600pk' would clash with
- 'cmr10.600gf' and is therefore changed when 'dosnames' is in
- effect, but 'mf.pool' and 'mp.base' don't clash with any
- TeX-related files and are therefore unchanged.
-
- This feature is turned on by default on MS-DOS. If you do not wish
- 'dosnames' to be set on an MS-DOS platform, you need to set the
- 'MT_FEATURES' environment variable to a value that doesn't include
- 'dosnames'. You can also change the default setting by editing
- 'mktex.opt', but only if you use the 'mktex' shell scripts; the
- emulation programs don't consult 'mktex.opt'.
-
-'fontmaps'
- Instead of deriving the location of a font in the destination tree
- from the location of the sources, the aliases and directory names
- from the Fontname distribution are used. (*note Introduction:
- (fontname)Top.).
-
-'nomfdrivers'
- Let mktexpk and mktextfm create metafont driver files in a
- temporary directory. These will be used for just one metafont run
- and not installed permanently.
-
-'nomode'
- Omit the directory level for the mode name; this is fine as long as
- you generate fonts for only one mode.
-
-'stripsupplier'
- Omit the font supplier name directory level.
-
-'striptypeface'
- Omit the font typeface name directory level.
-
-'strip'
- Omit the font supplier and typeface name directory levels. This
- feature is deprecated in favour of 'stripsupplier' and
- 'striptypeface'.
-
-'varfonts'
- When this option is enabled, fonts that would otherwise be written
- in system texmf tree go to the 'VARTEXFONTS' tree instead. The
- default value in 'kpathsea/Makefile.in' is '/var/tmp/texfonts'.
- The 'Linux File System Standard' recommends '/var/tex/fonts'.
-
- The 'varfonts' setting in 'MT_FEATURES' is overridden by the
- 'USE_VARTEXFONTS' environment variable: if set to '1', the feature
- is enabled, and if set to '0', the feature is disabled.
-
-'texmfvar'
- Force generated files that would go into a system tree (as defined
- by 'SYSTEXMF') into 'TEXMFVAR'. Starting with teTeX-3.0, the
- variable 'TEXMFVAR' is always set. The 'varfonts' feature takes
- precedence if also set.
-
- The 'texmfvar' setting in 'MT_FEATURES' is overridden by the
- 'USE_TEXMFVAR' environment variable: if set to '1', the feature is
- enabled, and if set to '0', the feature is disabled.

-2.2.9.2 'mktex' script names
-............................
-
-The following table shows the default name of the script for each of the
-file types which support runtime generation.
-
-'mktexfmt'
- ('.fmt', '.base', '.mem') TeX/Metafont/MetaPost formats. This
- script is also named 'fmtutil', and reads 'fmtutil.cnf' for
- configuration information.
-
-'mktexmf'
- ('.mf') Metafont input files.
-
-'mkocp'
- ('.ocp') Omega compiled process files.
-
-'mkofm'
- ('.ofm') Omega font metric files.
-
-'mktexpk'
- ('pk') Glyph fonts.
-
-'mktextex'
- ('.tex') TeX input files (disabled by default).
-
-'mktextfm'
- ('.tfm') TFM files.
-
-These names can be overridden by an environment variable specific to the
-program--for example, 'DVIPSMAKEPK' for Dvipsk.
-
- If a 'mktex...' script fails, the invocation is appended to a file
-'missfont.log' (by default) in the current directory. You can then
-execute the log file to create the missing files after fixing the
-problem.
-
- If the current directory is not writable and the environment variable
-or configuration file value 'TEXMFOUTPUT' is set, its value is used.
-Otherwise, nothing is written. The name 'missfont.log' is overridden by
-the 'MISSFONT_LOG' environment variable or configuration file value.

-
-2.6.1 Bug checklist
--------------------
-
-Before reporting a bug, please check below to be sure it isn't already
-known (*note Common problems::).
-
- Bug reports should be sent via electronic mail to <tex-k@tug.org>.
-
- The general principle is that a good bug report includes all the
-information necessary for reproduction. Therefore, to enable
-investigation, your report should include the following:
-
- * The version number(s) of the program(s) involved, and of Kpathsea
- itself. You can get the former by giving a sole option '--version'
- to the program, and the latter by running 'kpsewhich --version'.
- The 'NEWS' and 'ChangeLog' files also contain the version number.
-
- * The hardware, operating system (including version number),
- compiler, and 'make' program you are using (the output of 'uname
- -a' is a start on the first two, though often incomplete). If the
- bug involves the X window system, include X version and supplier
- information as well (examples: X11R6 from MIT; X11R4 from HP;
- OpenWindows 3.3 bundled with SunOS 4.1.4).
-
- * Any options you gave to 'configure'. This is recorded in the
- 'config.status' files.
-
- If you are reporting a bug in 'configure' itself, it's probably
- system-dependent, and it will be unlikely the maintainers can do
- anything useful if you merely report that thus-and-such is broken.
- Therefore, you need to do some additional work: for some bugs, you
- can look in the file 'config.log' where the test that failed should
- appear, along with the compiler invocation and source program in
- question. You can then compile it yourself by hand, and discover
- why the test failed. Other 'configure' bugs do not involve the
- compiler; in that case, the only recourse is to inspect the
- 'configure' shell script itself, or the Autoconf macros that
- generated 'configure'.
-
- * The log of all debugging output, if the bug is in path searching.
- You can get this by setting the environment variable
- 'KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to '-1' before running the program. Please look
- at the log yourself to make sure the behavior is really a bug
- before reporting it; perhaps "old" environment variable settings
- are causing files not to be found, for example.
-
- * The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
- For bugs in DVI-reading programs, for example, this generally means
- a DVI file (and any EPS or other files it uses)--TeX source files
- are helpful, but the DVI file is necessary, because that's the
- actual program input.
-
- * If you are sending a patch (do so if you can!), please do so in the
- form of a context diff ('diff -c') against the original
- distribution source. Any other form of diff is either not as
- complete or harder for me to understand. Please also include a
- 'ChangeLog' entry.
-
- * If the bug involved is an actual crash (i.e., core dump), it is
- easy and useful to include a stack trace from a debugger (I
- recommend the GNU debugger GDB, available from
- <ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu>). If the cause is apparent (a
- 'NULL' value being dereferenced, for example), please send the
- details along. If the program involved is TeX or Metafont, and the
- crash is happening at apparently-sound code, however, the bug may
- well be in the compiler, rather than in the program or the library
- (*note TeX or Metafont failing: TeX or Metafont failing.).
-
- * Any additional information that will be helpful in reproducing,
- diagnosing, or fixing the bug.

-2.6.3 Debugging
----------------
-
-Kpathsea provides a number of runtime debugging options, detailed below
-by their names and corresponding numeric values. When the files you
-expect aren't being found, the thing to do is enable these options and
-examine the output.
-
- You can set these with some runtime argument (e.g., '-d') to the
-program; in that case, you should use the numeric values described in
-the program's documentation (which, for Dvipsk and Xdvik, are different
-than those below). It's best to give the '-d' (or whatever) option
-first, for maximal output. Dvipsk and Xdvik have additional
-program-specific debugging options as well.
-
- You can also set the environment variable 'KPATHSEA_DEBUG'; in this
-case, you should use the numbers below. If you run the program under a
-debugger and set the instance variable 'kpse->debug', also use the
-numbers below.
-
- In any case, by far the simplest value to use is '-1', which will
-turn on all debugging output. This is usually better than guessing
-which particular values will yield the output you need.
-
- Debugging output always goes to standard error, so you can redirect
-it easily. For example, in Bourne-compatible shells:
- dvips -d -1 ... 2>/tmp/debug
-
- It is sometimes helpful to run the standalone Kpsewhich utility
-(*note Invoking kpsewhich::), instead of the original program.
-
- In any case, you can _not_ use the _names_ below; you must always use
-somebody's numbers. (Sorry.) To set more than one option, just sum the
-corresponding numbers.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_STAT (1)'
- Report 'stat'(2) calls. This is useful for verifying that your
- directory structure is not forcing Kpathsea to do many additional
- file tests (*note Slow path searching::, and *note Subdirectory
- expansion::). If you are using an up-to-date 'ls-R' database
- (*note Filename database::), this should produce no output unless a
- nonexistent file that must exist is searched for.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_HASH (2)'
- Report lookups in all hash tables: 'ls-R' and 'aliases' (*note
- Filename database::); font aliases (*note Fontmap::); and config
- file values (*note Config files::). Useful when expected values
- are not being found, e.g.., file searches are looking at the disk
- instead of using 'ls-R'.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_FOPEN (4)'
- Report file openings and closings. Especially useful when your
- system's file table is full, for seeing which files have been
- opened but never closed. In case you want to set breakpoints in a
- debugger: this works by redefining 'fopen' ('fclose') to be
- 'kpse_fopen_trace' ('kpse_fclose_trace').
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_PATHS (8)'
- Report general path information for each file type Kpathsea is
- asked to search. This is useful when you are trying to track down
- how a particular path got defined--from 'texmf.cnf', 'config.ps',
- an environment variable, the compile-time default, etc. This is
- the contents of the 'kpse_format_info_type' structure defined in
- 'tex-file.h'.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_EXPAND (16)'
- Report the directory list corresponding to each path element
- Kpathsea searches. This is only relevant when Kpathsea searches
- the disk, since 'ls-R' searches don't look through directory lists
- in this way.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_SEARCH (32)'
- Report on each file search: the name of the file searched for, the
- path searched in, whether or not the file must exist (when drivers
- search for 'cmr10.vf', it need not exist), and whether or not we
- are collecting all occurrences of the file in the path (as with,
- e.g., 'texmf.cnf' and 'texfonts.map'), or just the first (as with
- most lookups). This can help you correlate what Kpathsea is doing
- with what is in your input file.
-
-'KPSE_DEBUG_VARS (64)'
- Report the value of each variable Kpathsea looks up. This is
- useful for verifying that variables do indeed obtain their correct
- values.
-
-'GSFTOPK_DEBUG (128)'
- Activates debugging printout specific to 'gsftopk' program.
-
-'MAKETEX_DEBUG (512)'
- If you use the optional 'mktex' programs instead of the traditional
- shell scripts, this will report the name of the site file
- ('mktex.cnf' by default) which is read, directories created by
- 'mktexdir', the full path of the 'ls-R' database built by
- 'mktexlsr', font map searches, 'MT_FEATURES' in effect, parameters
- from 'mktexnam', filenames added by 'mktexupd', and some subsidiary
- commands run by the programs.
-
-'MAKETEX_FINE_DEBUG (1024)'
- When the optional 'mktex' programs are used, this will print
- additional debugging info from functions internal to these
- programs.
-
- Debugging output from Kpathsea is always written to standard error,
-and begins with the string 'kdebug:'. (Except for hash table buckets,
-which just start with the number, but you can only get that output
-running under a debugger. See comments at the 'hash_summary_only'
-variable in 'kpathsea/db.c'.)

-
-2.6.4 Logging
--------------
-
-Kpathsea can record the time and filename found for each successful
-search. This may be useful in finding good candidates for deletion when
-your filesystem is full, or in discovering usage patterns at your site.
-
- To do this, define the environment or config file variable
-'TEXMFLOG'. The value is the name of the file to append the information
-to. The file is created if it doesn't exist, and appended to if it
-does.
-
- Each successful search turns into one line in the log file: two words
-separated by a space. The first word is the time of the search, as the
-integer number of seconds since "the epoch", i.e., UTC midnight 1
-January 1970 (more precisely, the result of the 'time' system call).
-The second word is the filename.
-
- For example, after 'setenv TEXMFLOG /tmp/log', running Dvips on
-'story.dvi' appends the following lines:
-
- 774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config.ps
- 774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map
- 774455888 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/texc.pro
- 774455888 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmbx10.600pk
- 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmsl10.600pk
- 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmr10.600pk
- 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/texc.pro
-
-Only filenames that are absolute are recorded, to preserve some
-semblance of privacy.
-
- In addition to this Kpathsea-specific logging, 'pdftex' provides an
-option '-recorder' to write the names of all files accessed during a run
-to the file 'BASEFILE.fls'.
-
- Finally, most systems provide a general tool to output each system
-call, thus including opening and closing files. It might be named
-'strace', 'truss', 'struss', or something else.

-2.6.5 Common problems
----------------------
-
-Here are some common problems with configuration, compilation, linking,

-
-* Menu:
-
-* Unable to find files:: If your program can't find fonts (or whatever).
-* Slow path searching:: If it takes forever to find anything.
-* Unable to generate fonts:: If mktexpk fails.

-
-2.6.5.1 Unable to find files
-............................
-
-If a program complains it cannot find fonts (or other input files), any
-of several things might be wrong. In any case, you may find the
-debugging options helpful. *Note Debugging::.
-
- * Perhaps you simply haven't installed all the necessary files; the
- basic fonts and input files are distributed separately from the
- programs. *Note unixtex.ftp::.
-
- * You have (perhaps unknowingly) told Kpathsea to use search paths
- that don't reflect where the files actually are. One common cause
- is having environment variables set from a previous installation,
- thus overriding what you carefully set in 'texmf.cnf' (*note
- Supported file formats::). System '/etc/profile' or other files
- such may be the culprit.
-
- * Your files reside in a directory that is only pointed to via a
- symbolic link, in a leaf directory and is not listed in 'ls-R'.
-
- Unfortunately, Kpathsea's subdirectory searching has an
- irremediable deficiency: If a directory D being searched for
- subdirectories contains plain files and symbolic links to other
- directories, but no true subdirectories, D will be considered a
- leaf directory, i.e., the symbolic links will not be followed.
- *Note Subdirectory expansion::.
-
- You can work around this problem by creating an empty dummy
- subdirectory in D. Then D will no longer be a leaf, and the
- symlinks will be followed.
-
- The directory immediately followed by the '//' in the path
- specification, however, is always searched for subdirectories, even
- if it is a leaf. Presumably you would not have asked for the
- directory to be searched for subdirectories if you didn't want it
- to be.
-
- * If the fonts (or whatever) don't already exist, 'mktexpk' (or
- 'mktexmf' or 'mktextfm') will try to create them. If these rather
- complicated shell scripts fail, you'll eventually get an error
- message saying something like 'Can't find font FONTNAME'. The best
- solution is to fix (or at least report) the bug in 'mktexpk'; the
- workaround is to generate the necessary fonts by hand with
- Metafont, or to grab them from a CTAN site (*note unixtex.ftp::).
-
- * There is a bug in the library. *Note Reporting bugs::.
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: Slow path searching, Next: Unable to generate fonts, Prev: Unable to find files, Up: Common problems
-
-2.6.5.2 Slow path searching
-...........................
-
-If your program takes an excessively long time to find fonts or other
-input files, but does eventually succeed, here are some possible
-culprits:
-
- * Most likely, you just have a lot of directories to search, and that
- takes a noticeable time. The solution is to create and maintain a
- separate 'ls-R' file that lists all the files in your main TeX
- hierarchy. *Note Filename database::. Kpathsea always uses 'ls-R'
- if it's present; there's no need to recompile or reconfigure any of
- the programs.
-
- * Your recursively-searched directories (e.g.,
- '/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts//'), contain a mixture of files and
- directories. This prevents Kpathsea from using a useful
- optimization (*note Subdirectory expansion::).
-
- It is best to have only directories (and perhaps a 'README') in the
- upper levels of the directory structure, and it's very important to
- have _only_ files, and no subdirectories, in the leaf directories
- where the dozens of TFM, PK, or whatever files reside.
-
- In any case, you may find the debugging options helpful in
-determining precisely when the disk or network is being pounded. *Note
-Debugging::.

-2.6.5.3 Unable to generate fonts
-................................
-
-Metafont outputs fonts in bitmap format, tuned for a particular device
-at a particular resolution, in order to allow for the highest-possible
-quality of output. Some DVI-to-whatever programs, such as Dvips, try to
-generate these on the fly when they are needed, but this generation may
-fail in several cases.
-
- If 'mktexpk' runs, but fails with this error:
- mktexpk: Can't guess mode for NNN dpi devices.
- mktexpk: Use a config file to specify the mode, or update me.
- you need to ensure the resolution and mode match; just specifying the
-resolution, as in '-D 360', is not enough.
-
- You can specify the mode name with the '-mode' option on the Dvips
-command line, or in a Dvips configuration file (*note (dvips)Config
-files::), such as 'config.ps' in your document directory, '~/.dvipsrc'
-in your home directory, or in a system directory (again named
-'config.ps'). (Other drivers use other files, naturally.)
-
- For example, if you need 360dpi fonts, you could include this in a
-configuration file:
- D 360
- M lqmed
-
- If Metafont runs, but generates fonts at the wrong resolution or for
-the wrong device, most likely 'mktexpk''s built-in guess for the mode is
-wrong, and you should override it as above.
-
- See <ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf> for a list of resolutions and
-mode names for most devices (additional submissions are welcome).
-
- If Metafont runs but generates fonts at a resolution of 2602dpi (and
-prints out the name of each character as well as just a character
-number, and maybe tries to display the characters), then your Metafont
-base file probably hasn't been made properly. (It's using the default
-'proof' mode, instead of an actual device mode.) To make a proper
-'plain.base', assuming the local mode definitions are contained in a
-file 'modes.mf', run the following command (assuming Unix):
-
- inimf "plain; input modes; dump"
-
-Then copy the 'plain.base' file from the current directory to where the
-base files are stored on your system ('/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c' by
-default), and make a link (either hard or soft) from 'plain.base' to
-'mf.base' in that directory. *Note (web2c)inimf invocation::.
-
- If 'mf' is a command not found at all by 'mktexpk', then you need to
-install Metafont (*note unixtex.ftp::).
-
-
-File: kpathsea.info, Node: TeX or Metafont failing, Next: Empty Makefiles, Prev: Unable to generate fonts, Up: Common problems
-
-2.6.5.4 TeX or Metafont failing
-...............................
-
-If TeX or Metafont get a segmentation fault or otherwise fail while
-running a normal input file, the problem is usually a compiler bug
-(unlikely as that may sound). Even if the trip and trap tests are
-passed, problems may lurk. Optimization occasionally causes trouble in
-programs other than TeX and Metafont themselves, too.
-
- Insufficient swap space may also cause core dumps or other erratic
-behavior.
-
- For a workaround, if you enabled any optimization flags, it's best to
-omit optimization entirely. In any case, the way to find the facts is
-to run the program under the debugger and see where it's failing.
-
- Also, if you have trouble with a system C compiler, I advise trying
-the GNU C compiler. And vice versa, unfortunately; but in that case I
-also recommend reporting a bug to the GCC mailing list; see *note
-(gcc)Bugs::.
-
- To report compiler bugs effectively requires perseverance and
-perspicacity: you must find the miscompiled line, and that usually
-involves delving backwards in time from the point of error, checking
-through TeX's (or whatever program's) data structures. Things are not
-helped by all-too-common bugs in the debugger itself. Good luck.
-
- One known cause of trouble is the way arrays are handled. Some of
-the Pascal arrays have a lower index other than 0, and the C code will
-take the pointer to the allocated memory, subtract the lower index, and
-use the resulting pointer for the array. While this trick often works,
-ANSI C doesn't guarantee that it will. It it known to fail on HP-UX 10
-machines when the native compiler is used, unless the '+u' compiler
-switch was specified. Using GCC will work on this platform as well.

-
-2.6.5.5 Empty Makefiles
-.......................
-
-On some systems (NetBSD, FreeBSD, AIX 4.1, and Mach10), 'configure' may
-fail to properly create the Makefiles. Instead, you get an error which
-looks something like this:
-
- prompt$ ./configure
- ...
- creating Makefile
- sed: 1: "\\@^ac_include make/pat ...": \ can not
- be used as a string delimiter
-
- So far as I know, the bug here is in '/bin/sh' on these systems. I
-don't have access to a machine running any of them, so if someone can
-find a workaround that avoids the quoting bug, I'd be most grateful.
-(Search for 'ac_include' in the 'configure' script to get to the
-problematic code.)
-
- It should work to run 'bash configure', instead of using '/bin/sh'.
-You can get Bash from <ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu> and mirrors.
-
- Another possible cause (reported for NeXT) is a bug in the 'sed'
-command. In that case the error may look like this:
-
- Unrecognized command: \@^ac_include make/paths.make@r make/paths.make
-
- In this case, installing GNU 'sed' should solve the problem. You can
-get GNU 'sed' from the same places as Bash.

-that 'XtStrings' is undefined, something like this:
-
- gcc -o virmf ...
- .../x11.c:130: undefined reference to `XtStrings'
-
- This generally happens because of a mismatch between the X include
-files with which you compiled and the X libraries with which you linked;
-often, the include files are from MIT and the libraries from Sun.
-
- The solution is to use the same X distribution for compilation and
-linking. Probably 'configure' was unable to guess the proper
-directories from your installation. You can use the 'configure' options
-'--x-includes=PATH' and '--x-libraries=PATH' to explicitly specify them.

-2.6.5.7 'dlopen'
-................
-
-(This section adapted from the file 'dlsym.c' in the X distribution.)
-
- The 'Xlib' library uses the standard C function 'wcstombs'. Under
-SunOS 4.1, 'wcstombs' uses the 'dlsym' interface defined in 'libdl.so'.
-Unfortunately, the SunOS 4.1 distribution does not include a static
-'libdl.a' library.
-
- As a result, if you try to link an X program statically under SunOS,
-you may get undefined references to 'dlopen', 'dlsym', and 'dlclose'.
-One workaround is to include these definitions when you link:
-
- void *dlopen() { return 0; }
- void *dlsym() { return 0; }
- int dlclose() { return -1; }
-
-These are contained in the 'dlsym.c' file in the MIT X distribution.

-2.6.5.8 'ShellWidgetClass'
-..........................
-
-(This section adapted from the comp.sys.sun.admin FAQ.)
-
- If you are linking with Sun's OpenWindows libraries in SunOS 4.1.x,
-you may get undefined symbols '_get_wmShellWidgetClass' and
-'_get_applicationShellWidgetClass' when linking. This problem does not
-arise using the standard MIT X libraries under SunOS.
-
- The cause is bugs in the 'Xmu' shared library as shipped from Sun.
-There are several fixes:
-
- * Install the free MIT distribution from 'ftp.x.org' and mirrors.
-
- * Get the OpenWindows patches listed below.
-
- * Statically link the 'Xmu' library into the executable.
-
- * Avoid using 'Xmu' at all. If you are compiling Metafont, see *note
- (web2c)Online Metafont graphics::. If you are compiling Xdvi, see
- the '-DNOTOOL' option in 'xdvik/INSTALL'.
-
- * Ignore the errors. The binary runs fine regardless.
-
- Here is the information for getting the two patches:
-
- Patch ID: 100512-02

-
- Patch ID: 100573-03
- Bug ID: 1087332
- Description: 4.1.x OpenWindows 3.0 undefined symbols when using shared 'libXmu'.
-
- The way to statically link with 'libXmu' depends on whether you are
-using a Sun compiler (e.g., 'cc') or 'gcc'. If the latter, alter the
-'x_libs' Make variable to include
-
- -static -lXmu -dynamic

+6.5 'mktex' scripts
+===================
+
+If Kpathsea cannot otherwise find a file, for some file types it is
+configured by default to invoke an external program to create it
+dynamically (*note mktex configuration::). These are collectively known
+as "'mktex' scripts", since most of them are named 'mktex...'.
+
+ For example, this is useful for fonts (bitmaps, TFM's, and
+arbitrarily-sizable Metafont sources such as the Sauter and EC fonts),
+since any given document can use fonts never before referenced.
+Building all fonts in advance is therefore impractical, if not
+impossible.
+
+ It is also useful for the TeX '.fmt' (and Metafont '.base' and
+Metapost '.mem' files, *note (Web2c)Memory dumps::), where
+pre-generating every format consumes a lot of both time and space.
+
+ The script is passed the name of the file to create and possibly
+other arguments, as explained below. It must echo the full pathname of
+the file it created (and nothing else) to standard output; it can write
+diagnostics to standard error.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* config: mktex configuration.
+* names: mktex script names.
+* args: mktex script arguments.
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: mktex configuration, Next: mktex script names, Up: mktex scripts
+
+6.5.1 'mktex' configuration
+---------------------------
+
+The list of file types and program names that can run an external
+program to create missing files is listed in the next section. In the
+absence of 'configure' options specifying otherwise, everything but
+'mktextex' will be enabled by default. The 'configure' options to
+change the defaults are:
+
+ --without-mktexfmt-default
+ --without-mktexmf-default
+ --without-mktexocp-default
+ --without-mktexofm-default
+ --without-mktexpk-default
+ --without-mktextfm-default
+ --with-mktextex-default
+
+ The 'configure' setting is overridden if the environment variable or
+configuration file value named for the script is set; e.g., 'MKTEXPK'
+(*note mktex script arguments::).
+
+ 'mktexfmt' reads a file 'fmtutil.cnf', typically located in
+'texmf/web2c/' to glean its configuration information. The rest of the
+files and features in this section are primarily intended for the font
+generation scripts.
+
+ As distributed, all the scripts source a file 'texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf'
+if it exists, so you can override various defaults. See 'mktex.opt',
+for instance, which defines the default mode, resolution, some special
+directory names, etc. If you prefer not to change the distributed
+scripts, you can simply create 'mktex.cnf' with the appropriate
+definitions (you do not need to create it if you have nothing to put in
+it). 'mktex.cnf' has no special syntax; it's an arbitrary Bourne shell
+script. The distribution contains a sample 'mktex.cnf' for you to copy
+and modify as you please (it is not installed anywhere).
+
+ In addition, you can configure a number of features with the
+'MT_FEATURES' variable, which you can define:
+
+ * in 'mktex.opt', as just mentioned;
+
+ * by editing the file 'mktex.opt', either before 'make install' (in
+ the source hierarchy) or after (in the installed hierarchy);
+
+ * or in the environment.
+
+ If none of the options below are enabled, 'mktexpk', 'mktextfm', and
+'mktexmf' follow the following procedure to decide where fonts should be
+installed. Find the tree where the font's sources are, and test the
+permissions of the 'fonts' directory of that tree to determine whether
+it is writable. If it is, put the files in the tree in appropriate
+locations. If it isn't writable, see whether the tree is a system tree
+(named in 'SYSTEXMF'). If so, the 'VARTEXFONTS' tree is used. In all
+other cases the working directory is used.
+
+ The 'appendonlydir' option is enabled by default.
+
+'appendonlydir'
+ Tell 'mktexdir' to create directories append-only, i.e., set their
+ sticky bit (*note (coreutils)Mode Structure::). This feature is
+ silently ignored on non-Unix platforms (e.g. Windows/NT and
+ MS-DOS) which don't support similar functionality. This feature is
+ enabled by default.
+
+'dosnames'
+ Use 8.3 names; e.g., 'dpi600/cmr10.pk' instead of 'cmr10.600pk'.
+ Note that this feature only affects filenames that would otherwise
+ clash with other TeX-related filenames; 'mktex' scripts do nothing
+ about filenames which exceed the 8+3 MS-DOS limits but remain
+ unique when truncated (by the OS) to these limits, and nether do
+ the scripts care about possible clashes with files which aren't
+ related with TeX. For example, 'cmr10.600pk' would clash with
+ 'cmr10.600gf' and is therefore changed when 'dosnames' is in
+ effect, but 'mf.pool' and 'mp.base' don't clash with any
+ TeX-related files and are therefore unchanged.
+
+ This feature is turned on by default on MS-DOS. If you do not wish
+ 'dosnames' to be set on an MS-DOS platform, you need to set the
+ 'MT_FEATURES' environment variable to a value that doesn't include
+ 'dosnames'. You can also change the default setting by editing
+ 'mktex.opt', but only if you use the 'mktex' shell scripts; the
+ emulation programs don't consult 'mktex.opt'.
+
+'fontmaps'
+ Instead of deriving the location of a font in the destination tree
+ from the location of the sources, the aliases and directory names
+ from the Fontname distribution are used. (*note Introduction:
+ (fontname)Top.).
+
+'nomfdrivers'
+ Let mktexpk and mktextfm create metafont driver files in a
+ temporary directory. These will be used for just one metafont run
+ and not installed permanently.
+
+'nomode'
+ Omit the directory level for the mode name; this is fine as long as
+ you generate fonts for only one mode.
+
+'stripsupplier'
+ Omit the font supplier name directory level.
+
+'striptypeface'
+ Omit the font typeface name directory level.
+
+'strip'
+ Omit the font supplier and typeface name directory levels. This
+ feature is deprecated in favour of 'stripsupplier' and
+ 'striptypeface'.
+
+'varfonts'
+ When this option is enabled, fonts that would otherwise be written
+ in system texmf tree go to the 'VARTEXFONTS' tree instead. The
+ default value in 'kpathsea/Makefile.in' is '/var/tmp/texfonts'.
+ The 'Linux File System Standard' recommends '/var/tex/fonts'.
+
+ The 'varfonts' setting in 'MT_FEATURES' is overridden by the
+ 'USE_VARTEXFONTS' environment variable: if set to '1', the feature
+ is enabled, and if set to '0', the feature is disabled.
+
+'texmfvar'
+ Force generated files that would go into a system tree (as defined
+ by 'SYSTEXMF') into 'TEXMFVAR'. Starting with teTeX-3.0, the
+ variable 'TEXMFVAR' is always set. The 'varfonts' feature takes
+ precedence if also set.
+
+ The 'texmfvar' setting in 'MT_FEATURES' is overridden by the
+ 'USE_TEXMFVAR' environment variable: if set to '1', the feature is
+ enabled, and if set to '0', the feature is disabled.
+
+

+
+6.5.2 'mktex' script names
+--------------------------
+
+The following table shows the default name of the script for each of the
+file types which support runtime generation.
+
+'mktexfmt'
+ ('.fmt', '.base', '.mem') TeX/Metafont/MetaPost formats. This
+ script is also named 'fmtutil', and reads 'fmtutil.cnf' for
+ configuration information.
+
+'mktexmf'
+ ('.mf') Metafont input files.
+
+'mkocp'
+ ('.ocp') Omega compiled process files.
+
+'mkofm'
+ ('.ofm') Omega font metric files.
+
+'mktexpk'
+ ('pk') Glyph fonts.
+
+'mktextex'
+ ('.tex') TeX input files (disabled by default).
+
+'mktextfm'
+ ('.tfm') TFM files.
+
+These names can be overridden by an environment variable specific to the
+program--for example, 'DVIPSMAKEPK' for Dvipsk.
+
+ If a 'mktex...' script fails, the invocation is appended to a file
+'missfont.log' (by default) in the current directory. You can then
+execute the log file to create the missing files after fixing the
+problem.
+
+ If the current directory is not writable and the environment variable
+or configuration file value 'TEXMFOUTPUT' is set, its value is used.
+Otherwise, nothing is written. The name 'missfont.log' is overridden by
+the 'MISSFONT_LOG' environment variable or configuration file value.
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: mktex script arguments, Prev: mktex script names, Up: mktex scripts
+
+6.5.3 'mktex' script arguments
+------------------------------
+
+The first argument to a 'mktex' script is always the name of the file to
+be created.
+
+ In the default 'mktexpk' implementation, additional arguments may
+also be passed:
+
+'--dpi NUM'
+ Sets the resolution of the generated font to NUM.
+'--mfmode NAME'
+ Sets the Metafont mode to NAME.
+'--bdpi NUM'
+ Sets the "base dpi" for the font. This must match the mode being
+ used.
+'--mag STRING'
+ A "magstep" string suitable for the Metafont 'mag' variable. This
+ must match the combination of BDPI and DPI being used.
+'--destdir STRING'
+ A directory name. If the directory is absolute, it is used as-is.
+ Otherwise, it is appended to the root destination directory set in
+ the script.

+
+8.1 Bug checklist
+=================
+
+Before reporting a bug, please check below to be sure it isn't already
+known (*note Common problems::).
+
+ Bug reports should be sent via electronic mail to <tex-k@tug.org>.
+
+ The general principle is that a good bug report includes all the
+information necessary for reproduction. Therefore, to enable
+investigation, your report should include the following:
+
+ * The version number(s) of the program(s) involved, and of Kpathsea
+ itself. You can get the former by giving a sole option '--version'
+ to the program, and the latter by running 'kpsewhich --version'.
+ The 'NEWS' and 'ChangeLog' files also contain the version number.
+
+ * The hardware, operating system (including version), compiler, and
+ 'make' program you are using (the output of 'uname -a' is a start
+ on the first two, though incomplete).
+
+ * Any options you gave to 'configure'. This is recorded in the
+ 'config.status' files.
+
+ If you are reporting a bug in 'configure' itself, it's probably
+ system-dependent, and it will be unlikely the maintainers can do
+ anything useful if you merely report that thus-and-such is broken.
+ Therefore, you need to do some additional work: for some bugs, you
+ can look in the file 'config.log' where the test that failed should
+ appear, along with the compiler invocation and source program in
+ question. You can then compile it yourself by hand, and discover
+ why the test failed. Other 'configure' bugs do not involve the
+ compiler; in that case, the only recourse is to inspect the
+ 'configure' shell script itself, or the Autoconf macros that
+ generated 'configure'.
+
+ * The log of all debugging output, if the bug is in path searching.
+ You can get this by setting the environment variable
+ 'KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to '-1' before running the program. Please look
+ at the log yourself to make sure the behavior is really a bug
+ before reporting it; perhaps "old" environment variable settings
+ are causing files not to be found, for example.
+
+ * The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
+ For bugs in DVI-reading programs, for example, this generally means
+ a DVI file (and any EPS or other files it uses)--TeX source files
+ are helpful, but the DVI file is required, because that's the
+ actual program input.
+
+ * If you are sending a patch (do so if you can!), please do so in the
+ form of a context diff ('diff -c') against the original
+ distribution source. Any other form of diff is either not as
+ complete or harder for me to understand. Please also include a
+ 'ChangeLog' entry.
+
+ * If the bug involved is an actual crash (i.e., core dump), it is
+ easy and useful to include a stack trace from a debugger (I
+ recommend the GNU debugger GDB (<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb>).
+ If the cause is apparent (a 'NULL' value being dereferenced, for
+ example), please send the details along. If the program involved
+ is TeX or Metafont, and the crash is happening at apparently-sound
+ code, however, the bug may well be in the compiler, rather than in
+ the program or the library (*note TeX or Metafont failing: TeX or
+ Metafont failing.).
+
+ * Any additional information that will be helpful in reproducing,
+ diagnosing, or fixing the bug.

+
+8.3 Debugging
+=============
+
+Kpathsea provides a number of runtime debugging options, detailed below
+by their names and corresponding numeric values. When the files you
+expect aren't being found, the thing to do is enable these options and
+examine the output.
+
+ You can set these with some runtime argument (e.g., '-d') to the
+program; in that case, you should use the numeric values described in
+the program's documentation (which, for Dvipsk and Xdvik, are different
+than those below). It's best to give the '-d' (or whatever) option
+first, for maximal output. Dvipsk and Xdvik have additional
+program-specific debugging options as well.
+
+ You can also set the environment variable 'KPATHSEA_DEBUG'; in this
+case, you should use the numbers below. If you run the program under a
+debugger and set the instance variable 'kpse->debug', also use the
+numbers below.
+
+ In any case, by far the simplest value to use is '-1', which will
+turn on all debugging output. This is usually better than guessing
+which particular values will yield the output you need.
+
+ Debugging output always goes to standard error, so you can redirect
+it easily. For example, in Bourne-compatible shells:
+ dvips -d -1 ... 2>/tmp/debug
+
+ It is sometimes helpful to run the standalone Kpsewhich utility
+(*note Invoking kpsewhich::), instead of the original program.
+
+ In any case, you cannot use the names below; you must always use
+somebody's numbers. (Sorry.) To set more than one option, just sum the
+corresponding numbers.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_STAT (1)'
+ Report 'stat'(2) calls. This is useful for verifying that your
+ directory structure is not forcing Kpathsea to do many additional
+ file tests (*note Slow path searching::, and *note Subdirectory
+ expansion::). If you are using an up-to-date 'ls-R' database
+ (*note Filename database::), this should produce no output unless a
+ nonexistent file that must exist is searched for.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_HASH (2)'
+ Report lookups in all hash tables: 'ls-R' and 'aliases' (*note
+ Filename database::); font aliases (*note Fontmap::); and config
+ file values (*note Config files::). Useful when expected values
+ are not being found, e.g.., file searches are looking at the disk
+ instead of using 'ls-R'.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_FOPEN (4)'
+ Report file openings and closings. Especially useful when your
+ system's file table is full, for seeing which files have been
+ opened but never closed. In case you want to set breakpoints in a
+ debugger: this works by redefining 'fopen' ('fclose') to be
+ 'kpse_fopen_trace' ('kpse_fclose_trace').
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_PATHS (8)'
+ Report general path information for each file type Kpathsea is
+ asked to search. This is useful when you are trying to track down
+ how a particular path got defined--from 'texmf.cnf', 'config.ps',
+ an environment variable, the compile-time default, etc. This is
+ the contents of the 'kpse_format_info_type' structure defined in
+ 'tex-file.h'.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_EXPAND (16)'
+ Report the directory list corresponding to each path element
+ Kpathsea searches. This is only relevant when Kpathsea searches
+ the disk, since 'ls-R' searches don't look through directory lists
+ in this way.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_SEARCH (32)'
+ Report on each file search: the name of the file searched for, the
+ path searched in, whether or not the file must exist (when drivers
+ search for 'cmr10.vf', it need not exist), and whether or not we
+ are collecting all occurrences of the file in the path (as with,
+ e.g., 'texmf.cnf' and 'texfonts.map'), or just the first (as with
+ most lookups). This can help you correlate what Kpathsea is doing
+ with what is in your input file.
+
+'KPSE_DEBUG_VARS (64)'
+ Report the value of each variable Kpathsea looks up. This is
+ useful for verifying that variables do indeed obtain their correct
+ values.
+
+'GSFTOPK_DEBUG (128)'
+ Activates debugging printout specific to 'gsftopk' program.
+
+'MAKETEX_DEBUG (512)'
+ If you use the optional 'mktex' programs instead of the traditional
+ shell scripts, this will report the name of the site file
+ ('mktex.cnf' by default) which is read, directories created by
+ 'mktexdir', the full path of the 'ls-R' database built by
+ 'mktexlsr', font map searches, 'MT_FEATURES' in effect, parameters
+ from 'mktexnam', filenames added by 'mktexupd', and some subsidiary
+ commands run by the programs.
+
+'MAKETEX_FINE_DEBUG (1024)'
+ When the optional 'mktex' programs are used, this will print
+ additional debugging info from functions internal to these
+ programs.
+
+ Debugging output from Kpathsea is always written to standard error,
+and begins with the string 'kdebug:'. (Except for hash table buckets,
+which just start with the number, but you can only get that output
+running under a debugger. See comments at the 'hash_summary_only'
+variable in 'kpathsea/db.c'.)

+8.4 Logging
+===========
+
+Kpathsea can record the time and filename found for each successful
+search. This may be useful in finding good candidates for deletion when
+your filesystem is full, or in discovering usage patterns at your site.
+
+ To do this, define the environment or config file variable
+'TEXMFLOG'. The value is the name of the file to append the information
+to. The file is created if it doesn't exist, and appended to if it
+does.
+
+ Each successful search turns into one line in the log file: two words
+separated by a space. The first word is the time of the search, as the
+integer number of seconds since "the epoch", i.e., UTC midnight 1
+January 1970 (more precisely, the result of the 'time' system call).
+The second word is the filename.
+
+ For example, after 'setenv TEXMFLOG /tmp/log', running Dvips on
+'story.dvi' appends the following lines:
+
+ 774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config.ps
+ 774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map
+ 774455888 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/texc.pro
+ 774455888 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmbx10.600pk
+ 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmsl10.600pk
+ 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmr10.600pk
+ 774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/texc.pro
+
+Only filenames that are absolute are recorded, to preserve some
+semblance of privacy.
+
+ In addition to this Kpathsea-specific logging, 'pdftex' provides an
+option '-recorder' to write the names of all files accessed during a run
+to the file 'BASEFILE.fls'.
+
+ Finally, most systems provide a general tool to output each system
+call, thus including opening and closing files. It might be named
+'strace', 'truss', 'struss', or something else.

+8.5 Common problems
+===================
+
+Here are some common problems with configuration, compilation, linking,
+execution, ...
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Unable to find files:: If your program can't find fonts (or whatever).
+* Slow path searching:: If it takes forever to find anything.
+* Unable to generate fonts:: If mktexpk fails.
+* TeX or Metafont failing:: Likely compiler bugs.
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: Unable to find files, Next: Slow path searching, Up: Common problems
+
+8.5.1 Unable to find files
+--------------------------
+
+If a program complains it cannot find fonts (or other input files), any
+of several things might be wrong. In any case, you may find the
+debugging options helpful. *Note Debugging::.
+
+ * Perhaps you simply haven't installed all the necessary files; the
+ basic fonts and input files are distributed separately from the
+ programs. *Note unixtex.ftp::.
+
+ * You have (perhaps unknowingly) told Kpathsea to use search paths
+ that don't reflect where the files actually are. One common cause
+ is having environment variables set from a previous installation,
+ thus overriding what you carefully set in 'texmf.cnf' (*note
+ Supported file formats::). System '/etc/profile' or other files
+ such may be the culprit.
+
+ * Your files reside in a directory that is only pointed to via a
+ symbolic link, in a leaf directory and is not listed in 'ls-R'.
+
+ Unfortunately, Kpathsea's subdirectory searching has an
+ irremediable deficiency: If a directory D being searched for
+ subdirectories contains plain files and symbolic links to other
+ directories, but no true subdirectories, D will be considered a
+ leaf directory, i.e., the symbolic links will not be followed.
+ *Note Subdirectory expansion::.
+
+ You can work around this problem by creating an empty dummy
+ subdirectory in D. Then D will no longer be a leaf, and the
+ symlinks will be followed.
+
+ The directory immediately followed by the '//' in the path
+ specification, however, is always searched for subdirectories, even
+ if it is a leaf. Presumably you would not have asked for the
+ directory to be searched for subdirectories if you didn't want it
+ to be.
+
+ * If the fonts (or whatever) don't already exist, 'mktexpk' (or
+ 'mktexmf' or 'mktextfm') will try to create them. If these rather
+ complicated shell scripts fail, you'll eventually get an error
+ message saying something like 'Can't find font FONTNAME'. The best
+ solution is to fix (or at least report) the bug in 'mktexpk'; the
+ workaround is to generate the necessary fonts by hand with
+ Metafont, or to grab them from a CTAN site (*note unixtex.ftp::).
+
+ * There is a bug in the library. *Note Reporting bugs::.
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: Slow path searching, Next: Unable to generate fonts, Prev: Unable to find files, Up: Common problems
+
+8.5.2 Slow path searching
+-------------------------
+
+If your program takes an excessively long time to find fonts or other
+input files, but does eventually succeed, here are some possible
+culprits:
+
+ * Most likely, you just have a lot of directories to search, and that
+ takes a noticeable time. The solution is to create and maintain a
+ separate 'ls-R' file that lists all the files in your main TeX
+ hierarchy. *Note Filename database::. Kpathsea always uses 'ls-R'
+ if it's present; there's no need to recompile or reconfigure any of
+ the programs.
+
+ * Your recursively-searched directories (e.g.,
+ '/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts//'), contain a mixture of files and
+ directories. This prevents Kpathsea from using a useful
+ optimization (*note Subdirectory expansion::).
+
+ It is best to have only directories (and perhaps a 'README') in the
+ upper levels of the directory structure, and it's very important to
+ have _only_ files, and no subdirectories, in the leaf directories
+ where the dozens of TFM, PK, or whatever files reside.
+
+ In any case, you may find the debugging options helpful in
+determining precisely when the disk or network is being pounded. *Note
+Debugging::.
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: Unable to generate fonts, Next: TeX or Metafont failing, Prev: Slow path searching, Up: Common problems
+
+8.5.3 Unable to generate fonts
+------------------------------
+
+Metafont outputs fonts in bitmap format, tuned for a particular device
+at a particular resolution, in order to allow for the highest-possible
+quality of output. Some DVI-to-whatever programs, such as Dvips, try to
+generate these on the fly when they are needed, but this generation may
+fail in several cases.
+
+ If 'mktexpk' runs, but fails with this error:
+ mktexpk: Can't guess mode for NNN dpi devices.
+ mktexpk: Use a config file to specify the mode, or update me.
+ you need to ensure the resolution and mode match; just specifying the
+resolution, as in '-D 360', is not enough.
+
+ You can specify the mode name with the '-mode' option on the Dvips
+command line, or in a Dvips configuration file (*note (dvips)Config
+files::), such as 'config.ps' in your document directory, '~/.dvipsrc'
+in your home directory, or in a system directory (again named
+'config.ps'). (Other drivers use other files, naturally.)
+
+ For example, if you need 360dpi fonts, you could include this in a
+configuration file:
+ D 360
+ M lqmed
+
+ If Metafont runs, but generates fonts at the wrong resolution or for
+the wrong device, most likely 'mktexpk''s built-in guess for the mode is
+wrong, and you should override it as above.
+
+ See <http://ctan.org/pkg/modes> for a list of resolutions and mode
+names for most devices (additional submissions are welcome).
+
+ If Metafont runs but generates fonts at a resolution of 2602dpi (and
+prints out the name of each character as well as just a character
+number, and maybe tries to display the characters), then your Metafont
+base file probably hasn't been made properly. (It's using the default
+'proof' mode, instead of an actual device mode.) To make a proper
+'plain.base', assuming the local mode definitions are contained in a
+file 'modes.mf', run the following command (assuming Unix):
+
+ inimf "plain; input modes; dump"
+
+Then copy the 'plain.base' file from the current directory to where the
+base files are stored on your system ('/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c' by
+default), and make a link (either hard or soft) from 'plain.base' to
+'mf.base' in that directory. *Note (web2c)inimf invocation::.
+
+ If 'mf' is a command not found at all by 'mktexpk', then you need to
+install Metafont (*note unixtex.ftp::).
+
+
+File: kpathsea.info, Node: TeX or Metafont failing, Prev: Unable to generate fonts, Up: Common problems
+
+8.5.4 TeX or Metafont failing
+-----------------------------
+
+If TeX or Metafont get a segmentation fault or otherwise fail while
+running a normal input file, the problem is usually a compiler bug
+(unlikely as that may sound). Even if the trip and trap tests are
+passed, problems may lurk. Optimization occasionally causes trouble in
+programs other than TeX and Metafont themselves, too.
+
+ Insufficient swap space may also cause core dumps or other erratic
+behavior.
+
+ For a workaround, if you enabled any optimization flags, it's best to
+omit optimization entirely. In any case, the way to find the facts is
+to run the program under the debugger and see where it's failing.
+
+ Also, if you have trouble with a system C compiler, I advise trying
+the GNU C compiler. And vice versa, unfortunately; but in that case I
+also recommend reporting a bug to the GCC mailing list; see *note
+(gcc)Bugs::.
+
+ To report compiler bugs effectively requires perseverance and
+perspicacity: you must find the miscompiled line, and that usually
+involves delving backwards in time from the point of error, checking
+through TeX's (or whatever program's) data structures. Things are not
+helped by all-too-common bugs in the debugger itself. Good luck.
