$Id$
Copyright 2004, 2006, 2007 TeX Users Group.
You may freely use, modify and/or distribute this file.
(Originally written in 2004 by Karl Berry.)
To build the source tree, run ./Build.
To build (mostly) without optimization, try CFLAGS=-g Build.
- Bison and Flex are needed for web2c.
- libfontconfig (development) must be present for XeTeX to build, except
on MacOSX.
- A terminal (development) library such as libncurses must be present for
Texinfo to build.
The binaries will be left in ./inst/bin/<stdplatform>.
Don't worry about the other files and directories in inst.
The new binaries are not directly usable from that location. Instead,
you have to copy them to texmf/bin/<tlplatform> (in the repository,
that's under the Master tree).
If your C++ needs to find the standard library in, say, /usr/local/lib,
(i.e., configure fails saying the compiler doesn't work), try:
env LD_OPTIONS=-R/usr/local/lib Build
That should be it for normal builds. Email tex-live@tug.org if problems.
Running ./reautoconf here reruns autoconf, both old (the hacked 2.13
we have here) and new (assumed to be in /usr/bin/autoconf).
Automadness:
should be oldest > newest in this order (often used alternate names
in parentheses):
Makefile.am > configure.ac (configure.in)
Makefile.in > config.h.in (config.hin) > configure
To rerun dvipdfmx:
until integration, insert our configure.in, data/Makefile.am,
src/Makefile.am changes, copy compile script.
aclocal; autoheader; automake; autoconf
touch config.h.in; sleep 1; touch Makefile.in # shouldn't be needed, but ...

bison (GNU Bison) 2.3
flex version 2.5.4
GNU m4 1.4.5

xe(la)tex and xdvipdfmx depend on fontconfig.
Because Solaris 8 does not include fontconfig, we used fontconfig
package (version 2.3.2) from http://www.blastwave.org/
(together with it's dependencies)
2) sparc-linux
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (Sarge), kernel 2.4.27-2-sparc64

xe(la)tex and xdvipdfmx depend on fontconfig.
You can download fontconfig for AIX from

xdvi 22.84.10 - ok 28nov06
http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/
- TeX Live includes many programs, which depend on many libraries, notably
the TeX file-searching library kpathsea.
- TL has thousands of users, and they almost all install binaries,
rather than compile from source.
- Of course kpathsea is itself part of TeX Live, and we need to use the
version that is included here, not whatever is randomly installed on
the build system or the end-user's system.
- So a program that TL includes, such as lcdf-typetools
(http://www.lcdf.org/type/), has a configure option
--enable-tetex-build, which sets up CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to use the
local kpathsea in the build tree, like this:
if test "x$enable_tetex_build" = xyes; then
...
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I\$(top_builddir)/../../texk -I\$(top_srcdir)/../../texk"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L\$(top_builddir)/../../texk/kpathsea/.libs"
- The exact paths there aren't important reflect the structure
of our source hierarchy, relative to top_builddir/srcddir.
- The quoting there makes the values in the Makefile use Make variables:
CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_builddir)/../../texk -I$(top_srcdir)/../../texk
- However, since "$(top_builddir)" is used as a literal string, of
course that's not going to be found in the -I list, so any further
configure tests that need those values are going to fail. For example:
AC_CHECK_DECLS(kpse_opentype_format, :, :, [#include <kpathsea/kpathsea.h>])
- To get around this, we've simply been hardwiring the test results of
when --enable-tetex-build is given. So the test above becomes:
if test "x$enable_tetex_build" = xyes; then
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DECL_KPSE_OPENTYPE_FORMAT)
else
AC_CHECK_DECLS(kpse_opentype_format, :, :, [#include <kpathsea/kpathsea.h>])
fi
- None of this is actually specific to kpathsea, there are tons of other
libraries involved. It's just easier to discuss a specific example.
So I asked autoconf@gnu.org:
I am wondering if there's a reasonable way to use the top_builddir and
top_srcdir values at configure time. As in:
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$top_builddir/whatever"
When simply used as above, the value is not defined. It seems that the
value for these variables only gets defined at the end, for output (or
for recursive --help's).
I guess I could simply duplicate the code which computes them, but of
course that is not very appealing. Is there a better way?
Andreas Schwab replied:
At configure time $top_builddir == "." and $top_srcdir == $srcdir. They
are only different in sub-makefiles.
So maybe it would not be so hard. Bob Frisenhahn mentioned:
# Get full paths to source and build directories
srcdirfull=`cd $srcdir && pwd`
builddir=`pwd`
