<title>Typesetting</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
|
|
create output equivalent to typesetting.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are two alternative routes through this chapter:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
|
|
complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
|
|
source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
|
|
they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only
|
|
updated annually, but the binaries and associated tex and sty files are updated
|
|
for approximately 10 months). These people should begin at <xref
|
|
linkend="tex-path"/> and then follow the <xref linkend="tl-installer"/>
|
|
instructions,. After installing, they can run
|
|
<command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. BLFS used to
|
|
start by installing <application>install-tl-unx</application> and then use that
|
|
to bootstrap the build. Nowadays, we build almost the whole of
|
|
<application>texlive</application> <emphasis>without</emphasis> a binary install,
|
|
by adding the separately-packaged texmf files into this build. For this, begin
|
|
at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> then go to <xref linkend="texlive"/> which will
|
|
install most of
|
|
<application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
|
|
supporting files. This almost-complete install can then be used to build the
|
|
remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>: <xref
|
|
linkend="asymptote"/>, <xref linkend="biber"/> and <xref linkend="xindy"/>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
|
|
supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
|
|
gets extracted in a sensible way (you could exclude one or other of the
|
|
typesetting engines, not its many supporting files) when building from source
|
|
in this manner.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In either case, BLFS installs into
|
|
<filename class="directory">/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also, please note that texlive is released annually, and updating from the
|
|
previous year to the current year is no longer supported. If for some reason
|
|
you wish to keep versions for multiple years, for most things you can mount the
|
|
old or new system at /opt/texlive and fix up your PATH as necessary. However
|
|
doing that will not preserve any changes in <filename
|
|
class="directory">texmf-local</filename> and if you build from source and try to
|
|
run a newer version of <application>biber</application> with an older version of
|
|
<application>biblatex</application> it is unlikely to work.</para>
