Configure options for the TeX Live (TL) build system
=====================================================
The TL 2009 build system contains a collection of program packages, i.e.,
subdirectories texk/Prog/ (where `Prog' is web2c, afm2pl, bibtex8, etc.) and
utils/Util/ (where `Util' is dialog, pdfopen, etc.) as well as library
packages, i.e., subdirectories texk/kpathsea/ and libs/Lib/ (where `Lib' is
zlib, libpng, t1lib, etc.) for most of the libraries required by the program
packages. Correspondingly there are plenty of configure options, most of
them described below. See 'configure --help' (at the top-level) for an
exhaustive list of all global options and a few important package specific
ones or run, e.g., 'texk/lcdf-typetools/configure --help' to also see
lcdf-typetools specific options not shown at the top-level.
1. Global configure options
===========================
1.1. --disable-native-texlive-build
-----------------------------------
If enabled (by default) build for a TeX Live binary distribution such as
the TL2009 DVD-Rom; this implies '--enable-multiplatform' and
'--enable-cxx-runtime-hack' unless they are explicitly disabled.
Building TL for a Linux or other distribution, this would be disabled and
system versions of most libraries would be used (see below).
1.2. --enable-multiplatform
---------------------------
If enabled, install executables and libraries in platform dependent
subdirectories of EPREFIX/bin and EPREFIX/lib (unless '--bindir=DIR' or
'--libdir=DIR' is specified). This option automatically propagates the
values for bindir and libdir to all subdirectories to be configured, and
thus need not be used explicitly in any program or library package.
1.3. --enable-cxx-runtime-hack
------------------------------
If enabled and when using gcc, try to statically link with libstc++,
somewhat improving portability.
1.4. --disable-largefile
------------------------
Omit support for large files (>=2GB).
2. Configure options for program packages
=========================================
2.1. --disable-Prog and --disable-Util
--------------------------------------
Do not build and install the program(s) of the package `Prog' or `Util'.
2.2. --disable-all-pkgs
-----------------------
Do not build any program packages, except those explicitly enabled. Without
this options all packages are built except those explicitly disabled (except
for utils/xindy/ which is disabled by default due to its requirement for
clisp and others).
2.3. Configure options for texk/web2c/
--------------------------------------
2.3.1. --enable-auto-core
This option causes TeX & MF to produce a core dump when a particular
filename is encountered.
2.3.2. --disable-dump-share
Make the fmt/base/mem dump files architecture dependend (somewhat increasing
performance on little-endian systems).
2.3.3. --enable-ipc
If enabled (by default) allow TeX's '--ipc' option.
2.3.4. --disable-tex, --enable-etex, --disable-aleph, --disable-pdftex,
--disable-luatex, --disable-xetex, --disable-mf, --disable-mp
Do or do not build the various TeX, METAFONT, and MetaPost engines.
2.3.5. --with-mf-x-toolkit
Use the X toolkit (libXt) for METAFONT (default is yes).
2.3.6. --enable-*win
Include various types of window support for METAFONT.
2.3.7. --enable-mf-nowin
Build a separate non-windows-capable METAFONT.
2.3.8. --disable-web-progs
Do not build the WEB programs bibtex ... weave, e.g., when you just have to
rebuid some engines.
2.4. Configure options for texk/xdvik/
--------------------------------------
2.4.1. --with-gs=PATH
Hardwire the location of GhostScript (gs).
2.4.2. --with-xdvi-x-toolkit=KIT
Use toolkit KIT (motif/xaw/xaw3d/neXtaw) for xdvi, default: Motif if
available, else Xaw.
3. Configure options for libraries
==================================
3.1. --with-system-Lib
----------------------
Use an installed (system) version of the library `Lib'; this option exists
for most but not all libraries.
For many libraries there are in addition '--with-Lib-includes=DIR' and
'--with-Lib-libdir=DIR' to indicate that the library is installed in an
unusual location.
When a system version of a required library is chosen, the top-level configure script
performs a consistency check and bails out early if this fails.
