    <title>Installation of TeX</title>

    <para>Before building <application>TeX</application>, the macros and
    fonts package (<filename>texmf</filename> tarball) must be installed.
    Install the macros and fonts using the following commands as the

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/texmf &amp;&amp;

    <para>If the optional <filename>texmf</filename> source code TAR ball
    was downloaded, untar it now as the <systemitem
    class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>gzip -dc ../tetex-texmfsrc-&tex-version;.tar.gz \
    | (umask 0; cd /usr/share/texmf; tar -xvf -)</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. The tests
    should complete without errors (there may be some errors which are
    ignored).</para>

      <para>The paper size may be changed to a4, as is used in most

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>--with-x=no</parameter>: This switch will avoid any
    <application>X</application> dependencies. <application>TeX</application>
    can be compiled with <application>X</application> support, notably for
    <command>xdvi</command>. If this is desired, remove this parameter.</para>

    <para><parameter>--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin</parameter>: These
    switches ensure that <application>TeX</application> binaries are installed
    in <filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-texinfo</parameter>: A default LFS installation
    already has the <application>Texinfo</application> package installed; this
    switch will avoid overwriting it with the included
    <application>Texinfo</application> package.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-system-ncurses</parameter>: This switch specifies
    using the already installed <filename
    class="libraryfile">libncurses</filename> library.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-system-zlib</parameter>: LFS systems include the
    <application>Zlib</application> library; this switch avoids building it
    here.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-a4</option>: Use this option to set the default
    paper size to letter and the default unit to inch.</para>

    <para><command>texconfig-sys dvips paper letter</command>: This command
    sets the default paper size for <application>TeX</application>.</para>

    <para><command>texconfig-sys font rw</command>: This command specifies
    creating and using a directory for globally writable fonts.</para>

    <para><command>mktexlsr</command>: This command recreates the
    <application>TeX</application> <filename>ls-R</filename> databases after
    installing the CM-Super fonts.</para>

    <para><command>updmap-sys</command>: This command updates the system-wide
    font configuration to include the CM-Super fonts.</para>

    <tip>
      <para>Run <command>./configure --help</command> for information about
      using other switches which will enable the build to use other installed
      packages you may have on your system.</para>
