I am not sure what I was thinking when I modified the code in my build
script to fit the LFS book. TeX Live installs numerous symlinks in the
bin directory during the installation. My build script sets bindir=
/usr/share/texmf/bin (I also put man pages in /usr/share/texmf/man). I
do this so the TeX installation is completely self-contained.
TeX Live installs the symlinks as file --> ../texmf/file
These symlinks are broken because there is nothing at /usr/texmf. I
put everything in /usr/share/texmf. So the installed symlinks must
be recreated. Here is new code I put in the TeX Live instructions a
few minutes ago. It should be correct, but I cannot really test it.
for FN in `find /usr/bin -type l`; do
if [ `readlink $FN | grep "\.\./texmf"` ]; then
ln -svf `readlink $FN | sed 's|\.\./texmf|../share/texmf|'` $FN
fi
done &&
unset FN
If anyone sees a flaw in this logic, please reply with your correction.
Thanks!
