Here are some common installation scenarios:
-
Including X support in Metafont. This is disabled by default, since
many sites have no use for it, and it's a leading cause of configuration
problems.
configure --with-x-toolkit
-
Putting the binaries, TeX files, GNU info files, etc. into a single
TeX hierarchy, say texmf, requires overriding defaults in both
configure
and make
:
configure --prefix=texmf --datadir=texmf
make texmf=texmf
-
You can compile on multiple architectures simultaneously either by
building symbolic link trees with the
lndir
script from the X11
distribution, or with the `--srcdir' option:
configure --srcdir=srcdir
-
If you are installing binaries for multiple architectures into a single
hierarchy, you will probably want to override the default `bin' and
`lib' directories, something like this:
configure --prefix=texmf --datadir=texmf \
--bindir=texmf/arch/bin --libdir=texmf/arch/lib
make texmf=texmf
(Unless you make provisions for architecture-specific files in
other ways, e.g., with Depot or an automounter.)
-
To compile with optimization (to compile without debugging, remove the
`-g'):
env CFLAGS="-g -O" sh configure ...
For a potential problem if you optimize, see section TeX or Metafont failing.
