%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ asymptote Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations can be typeset with LaTeX. &lfs7a_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &asymptote-md5sum; Download size: &asymptote-size; Estimated disk space required: &asymptote-buildsize; Estimated build time: &asymptote-time; Required , , Recommended Optional FFTW, Optional (at runtime, to use xasy) Imaging which needs Imaging-1.1.7-freetype_fix-1.patch and has a build dependency of (re-) compiled against to provide _tkinter.so User Notes: Install asymptote by running the following commands: export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year; \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --infodir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/info \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --enable-gc=system \ --with-latex=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/latex \ --with-context=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/context/third && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install Exceptionally, asymptote will create an asymptote/ subdirectory for asymptote.info even though the asy-faq.info file will be in the main texlive info/ directory. Both files will be found by info. --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx. --enable-gc=system: this ensures that the system version of libgc.so will be used instead of the version shipped with this package. --with-latex= ... --with-context=: These switches ensure that style files and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a texmf-local directory for them.
