Hi List, This week I've taken a quick stab at packaging a texmf tree that goes with the tetex-beta in contrib, so you'll need that too.
This is needed to replace miktex as part of the GNU LilyPond (http://www.lilypond.org) installation on Windows, and recently the tetex-beta packager seemed to mention that he was not planning to package the texmf tree, which we were so eagerly waiting for (this pkg should make that job a piece of cake). It's packaged in three parts, texmf-base, texmf-doc, and texmf-extra. After selecting installing tetex-beta (from cygwin) and texmf-base, you should have a functioning TeX setup. The experimental tarballs are at http://lilypond.org/people/jan/gnu-windows/tar/texmf/ if you unpack them by hand, you'll need to run /etc/postinstall/texmf-base.sh after unpacking. Note that tetex-beta should be installed when you do this. There may or may not be a working setup.ini at: http://lilypond.org/people/jan/gnu-windows When this works, it will be submitted to cygwin. If you're unlucky, read /usr/share/doc/tetex-beta-20000804/INSTALL, edit /usr/share/texmf/web2c/*cnf, and run texconfig confall texconfig rehash texconfig init These packages all built on GNU/Linux using mirror, build and packaging scripts at: http://lilypond.org/people/jan/gnu-windows/cygwin-cross-1.3.5.3.tar.gz Note that this is all quite experimental, and on top of that, I'll be off-line for about a week, but I didn't want to keep this from you.
