    <title>Introduction to TeX Live from source, pass 1</title>

    <para>Most of TeX Live can be built from source without difficulty.
    However, <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs working
    versions of <command>latex</command> and <command>pdflatex</command>
    when configure is run, and the testsuite for <command>asy</command>
    (for vector graphics) will fail if TeX has not already been installed.
    </para>

    <para>In addition, it is necessary to create various symlinks at the end of
    this install.</para>

    <para>We can later rebuild texlive in <xref linkend="texlive"/> to include
    xindy. There we will install xindy and also build and install asy.</para>

      download it separately. This will give you all of the additional files
      which are provided by a full install of the binary version, there is no
      realistic way to restrict which parts get installed.</para>

        Because of the size of this package, it is unlikely to be mirrored by

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para>
      <parameter>--prefix=, --bindir=, --datarootdir=, --infodir=, --mandir= ...
      </parameter>: these switches ensure that the files installed from source
      will overwrite the corresponding files previously installed by
      <application>install-tl</application>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--includedir=, --libdir= ...</parameter> : these switches ensure
      that the libraries will be found at runtime, and that programs can be
      compiled against them.
    </para>

    <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
      href="../../xincludes/static-libraries.xml"/>

    <para>
      <parameter>--enable-shared</parameter>: Create shared versions of
      <filename class="libraryfile">libkpathsea</filename> and
      <filename class="libraryfile">libptexenc</filename>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-system-...</parameter>: Unless this parameter is used,
      the included versions of these libraries  will be statically compiled
      into the programs which need them.  If you decided not to install a
      recommended library, omit the corresponding switches.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-system-xpdf</parameter>: Uniquely, this parameter has
      a non-standard meaning, it tells <command>configure</command> to use the
      system-installed <application>poppler</application> headers and library.
      Again, omit this if you have not installed
      <application>poppler</application>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--without-x</option>: use this if you do not have Xorg installed.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>make texlinks</parameter> : this runs the texlinks.sh script
      to create (or recreate) symbolic links from formats to engines.  In
      practice, several of the targets such as <command>xetex</command> are now
      separate binaries and for these it will report "file already exists".
    </para>
    <para>
      <parameter>tar -xf texlive-&texlive-version;-texmf.tar.xz -C /opt/texlive/&texlive-year; --strip-components=1</parameter>:
      the tarball contains the files for the texmf-dist directory, and because
      of its size we do not want to waste time and space untarring it and then
      copying the files.
