I had a go recently at texlive-2009. I uses these -------FOR SOURCEcodePrep tar xvJf texlive-20091107-source.tar.xz tar xvJf texlive-20091107-texmf.tar.xz cd into texlive-20091107-source ------ FORconfigure configure options accepted: sh configure \ CC="gcc $BUILD64 -fPIC" \ CXX="g++ $BUILD64 -fPIC" \ --prefix=/somehere/in/greenland \ --x-includes=$XORG_PREFIX/include \ --x-libraries=$XORG_PREFIX/lib \ --disable-pdfopen \ --disable-ps2eps \ --disable-luatex \ --disable-lcdf-typetools \ --disable-dvi2tty \ --disable-ttf2pk \ --disable-cjkutils \ --disable-detex \ --with-tex-banner="put/your/banner/here" \ --with-gs=/usr/bin \ --with-gnu-ld \ --with-x then make and make install The installed stuff occupied ~80 mbytes however texinfo stuff was not supported. I dont know if this has changed in texlive-2010 (in all 8gigs of it in SVN !) sincerely luxInteg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
