    <title>Installation of TeX</title>

<!--
<para><application>TeX</application> is installed from the source directory
(usually <filename class="directory">/usr/src</filename>) and untarring
instructions are included below instead of the usual assumption that you
have already untarred the package. The source directory should contain
the two required packages and the optional package, if desired.</para>
-->

    <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
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/texmf &amp;&amp;
gzip -dc ../tetex-texmf-&tex-version;.tar.gz \
    | (umask 0; cd /usr/share/texmf; tar -xf -)</userinput></screen>

    <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 -xf -)</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>TeX</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<!--
<screen><userinput><command>patch -Np1 -i ../tetex-src-&tex-version;-flex-1.patch &amp;&amp;
patch -Np1 -i ../tetex-src-&tex-version;-remove_readlink-1.patch &amp;&amp;
 -->

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \

    --without-texinfo --with-x=no \
    --with-system-ncurses --with-system-zlib &amp;&amp;

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
texconfig dvips paper letter &amp;&amp;

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <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 configure
    option.</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 starting
    with version 4.0 have <application>Zlib</application> installed as part
    of the base operating system; 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 dvips paper letter</command>: This command sets
    the default paper size for <application>TeX</application>.</para>

    <para><command>texconfig font rw</command>: This command specifies writable
    fonts.</para>

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