Comment:
I've done a bit of work with this package. I'm using the most recent
sources (20080816 and the corresponding texmf tarball). I managed to
get it installed without any patches (not counting the DESTDIR patch I
created). I did need 3 seds so the directory structure was a bit
more sane:
sed -i 's|/texmf-dist/scripts|/share&|' texk/tex4htk/Makefile.in
sed -i 's| texmf| share/texmf|' texk/texlive/Makefile.in
sed -i 's|var/tmp/texfonts|var/cache/texfonts|' texk/make/paths.mk
I also had to hand-modify /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf to
include 'share' into the directory path of some the texmf vars.
I could make a sed, but it was after the fact, and after f**king
with it for two days I'm a bit burned out.
It seems to work fine using some rudimentary Tex operations from
the libgcrypt package. My destdir patch is in the LFS repo:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/texlive/texlive-20080816-use_destdir-1.patch
The configure command I used is:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/usr/bin/TeX \
--libdir=/usr/lib \
--sysconfdir=/etc/livetex \
--with-x \
--with-system-ncurses \
--with-system-zlib \
--with-system-pnglib \
--with-system-t1lib \
--with-system-freetype2 \
--with-freetype2-libdir=/usr/lib \
--with-freetype2-include=/usr/include \
--with-system-gd \
--enable-gf \
--disable-a4 \
--without-texinfo \
--without-xindy \
--without-luatex \
>configure.log 2>&1
Then make and make install (I used DESTDIR to install).
Counting the texmf tarball and DESTDIR it used about 4GB of space
during the installation. It's huge.
If we can get some folks (Alexander!) to test it out, we could get
it into the book. It includes the cm-super fonts that is an addon
in the books' TeTeX instructions.
