Just in case anybody cares about testing asymptote: with the *binary* 2016 texlive on a system built with gcc-6.1, the asy tests failed (although they were fine on plain 7.9 systems) : the 3D test hung and the fix was to add -V to the invocation of asy in the Makefile. And similarly with from-source asymptote with all of the possible dpendencies. For the 2D test, it completed but put the initial line of text on the first page, like a title, with the picture on a second page. I did not notice if that was true with the from-source asymptote, I had gone back to a fresh binary install before I noticed. I've worked around that by making the title into a label and then suppressing the now-empty first/title page. Oddly, the similar setup in the 3D test continues to all go onto a single page. There is a similar problem when running asy on the more-complex 3D tests (those which require freeglut) in my asy-tests. There, adding -V to the asy invocation has a side effect: instead of creating a new output file in the expected format, it displays it (and for these you can rotate it which is cool and avoids the need for a suitable program to view eps or png files), but at the cost of not getting an updated output file. I have updated both tarballs to 20160624 versions (dated for my timezone) - for the asy tests the new behaviour is merely noted in the README. Now, hopefully, I can get on with the full from-source TL 2016. Asymptote is a hard mistress. ĸen -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
