    <title>Introduction to TeX Live from source</title>

    <para>Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing
    installation, but <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs
    working versions of <command>latex</command> and <command>pdflatex</command>
    when configure is run, and the testsuite and install for
    <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail if TeX has not
    already been installed. Additionally, <application>biber</application> is
    not provided within the <application>texlive</application> source.</para>

    <para>All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be
    built after installing this package and proceeding to
    <xref linkend="tex-path"/>.</para>

      <para>Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
      fonts and various other files) is not part of the source tarball. You must
      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>

      <para>
        Because of the size of this package, it is unlikely to be mirrored by
        BLFS mirrors.  In case of difficulty, go to http://www.ctan.org/mirrors/
        to find a more-accessible mirror.

      to create (or recreate) symbolic links from formats to engines.  In

      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.
