- you might want to compare'n'contrast with how texlive is built in the
following ( slackware.org.uk , slackbuilds.org , & rlworkman are all
well-regarded sources):
====
* http://slackware.org.uk/people/rworkman/sources/14.1/texlive/
The central file is './texlive.SlackBuild' .
(NB there's 3 main tarballs; and look at e.g. what './texlive.SlackBuild'
says re the '..-extra..' & '..texmf..' tarballs.
NB also the patches re paths.)
Same dirtree, hosted on alt server:
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/office/texlive/
==
* The 'texi2html', 'libsigsegv', & 'texscythe' (the first two are simple
installs [should you need them], and you almost certainly don't need to
install 'texscythe') referred to, are avail on same servers, via:
- http://slackware.org.uk/people/rworkman/sources/14.1/texi2html/
( == http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/development/texi2html/ )
- http://slackware.org.uk/people/rworkman/sources/14.1/libsigsegv/
( == http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/libraries/libsigsegv/ )
- http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/misc/texscythe/
==
* ( http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=tex&sv=14.1 )
====
(NB am not 'trying' to push this - & likewise in other threads - away from
b/lfs to slack: am just trying to hopefully help clarify; and the
external-to-blfs *nix resources that I know best, are slackware (& openbsd).)
hth,
akhiezer
