#12105: dvisvgm-2.7.1

Until now we have installed dvisvgm as part of texlive, e.g. as
/opt/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/dvisvgm
With the changes during the last year, the modified configure scripts /
Makefiles of texlive no-longer permit this to be built when system libs
are used, and texlive upstream is unwilling to change this. Debian will
use separate dvisvgm.
[https://dvisvgm.de/]
Unfortunately, the dependencies are "heavy" :
Clipper (http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php)
FontForge (a reduced version is bundled)
FreeType
Ghostscript
kpathsea
openssl - in LFS
potrace
woff2 and brotli (bundled)
xxHash (https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash)
For kpathsea, --with-kpathsea=/opt/texlive/2019 works.
Without brotli, it can only be built using --enable-bundle-libs which use
'''all''' the bundled libs.
I've just apparently managed to built it with those two switches, but
DESTDIR installing it (to /usr/local, to see what it produced) only
created the basic directories.
Trying to run make check, I am unable to persuade it to find libkpathsea.
I suspect it might be looking for a static version. The odd thing is that
config.log shows things like
{{{configure:12824: checking for kpse_find_file in -lkpathsea
configure:12849: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/texlive/2019/include
-I/opt/texlive/2019/include -L/opt/texlive/2019/lib conftest.c -lkpathsea
>&5
configure:12849: $? = 0
configure:12858: result: yes
configure:12872: checking kpathsea version
configure:12890: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/texlive/2019/include
-I/opt/texlive/2019/include -L/opt/texlive/2019/lib conftest.c -lkpathsea
>&5
configure:12890: $? = 0
configure:12890: ./conftest
configure:12890: $? = 0
configure:12899: result: "6.3.1"
}}}
So at that point it apparently linked successfully to it.
I have little or no use for this (I've dropped eps files since I can no
longer view them after last year's ghostscript changes, I don't use DVI
files, and I have no reason to convert a page of a PDF to an SVG file.
I'm inclined to let it go.
