============================================================================= teTeX-0.3.3 installation instructions (compiling the sources) ============================================================================= 1) getting the files 2) make sure to have recent versions of gcc, GNU-make and flex 3) install the inputs-tree 4) unpack the sources and apply patches (if there are any): 5) adjust the Makefile 6) run make 7) post installation steps A) appendix: notes on some platforms ============================================================================= 1) getting the files ============================================================================ What you need: sources/teTeX-src-0.3.3.tar.gz # the sources sources/teTeX-src-patch-*.gz # all patches (if available) sources/teTeX-lib-0.3.3.tar.gz # the lib-tree with the fonts, macros, ... Instead of the complete lib-tree, you can get the smaller files with fonts, documentation, ... from teh other subdirectories. See INSTALL.bin for notes on installing these files. You do not need to install binaries when installing via INSTALL.bin. ============================================================================ 2) make sure to have recent versions of gcc, GNU-make and flex ============================================================================ To compile teTeX, you need gcc, flex and a recent version of GNU make. gcc-2.5.8, flex-2.4.7 and GNU make-3.72.1 or newer should be ok. ============================================================================ 3) install the inputs-tree ============================================================================ Unpack teTeX-lib-0.3.3.tar.gz at its "final" destination, e.g. cd /usr/local gzip -dc /usr/local/src/teTeX-lib-0.3.3.tar.gz | tar xpvf - You may choose a different directory instead of /usr/local and you may rename the teTeX directory. Just make sure to have the TETEXDIR variable in the top-level Makefile right before starting make. Note: if you omnit the "p" option of tar, you may have trouble with permissions later. If you install the smaller packages from the base, fonts, doc and goodies directories, use install.sh (see INSTALL.bin for details). ============================================================================ 4) unpack the sources and apply patches (if there are any): ============================================================================ Unpack the sources, e.g.: cd /usr/local/src gzip -dc teTeX-src-0.3.3.tar.gz | tar xpvf - Apply patches: gzip -dc teTeX-src-0.3.3-patch-* | patch -p0 -s NOTE: if you unpack as root on a SYSV system, you need to chown -R afterwards, to fix wrong ownerships. ============================================================================ 5) adjust the Makefile ============================================================================ Have a look at the Makefile and adjust what needs to be adjusted. E.g.: cd teTeX-src-0.3.3 vi Makefile ============================================================================ 6) run make ============================================================================ Type "make world" and relax :-) This is equivalent to make config clean texhash all install ini If you need special previleges for 'make install' and 'make ini', you can run two make in two separate runs: make config clean texhash all su make install ini If you install for a second, third, ... platform, you can omit the 'texhash' and 'ini' targets and simply run: make config clean all make install Please note that calling make with an absolute path breaks the configure scripts. The following example _does_not_work_: /usr/local/bin/make world ... checking whether /usr/local/bin/make sets $MAKE... ./configure: ${ac_cv_prog_make_/usr/bin/make_set+set}: bad substitution ... ============================================================================ 7) post installation steps ============================================================================ Set up your PATH and run texconfig (you may want to set up MANPATH and INFOPATH as well). Note that the search paths for all programs that use the Kpathsea library can be configured by changing the paths in TETEXDIR/texmf.cnf. ============================================================================= A) appendix: notes on some platforms ============================================================================= SGI-IRIX-6.0.1: (reported by bottoms@radar.nrl.navy.mil (Maitland Bottoms)) successfully compiled using: CC=cc CFLAGS=-O2 -s -32 LDFLAGS=-s -32
