Dear list,
Using Edd Barrett's work for providing a texlive package for openbsd
and the porting guide he wrote
http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett/texlive/, I made a protfile for
texlive for macports that I just committed to svn. This port works for
me but has not been thoroughly tested. latex and pdflatex, bibtex, xdvi,
and metapost worked for files I tried (I however had to put -tex=latex
for metapost to understand latex parts).
There are in fact two ports: texlive_texmf-minimal that provides a
texmf tree; and texlive that installs the binaries and finishes the
installation. There is also a bunch of patches for texlive to honor
DESTDIR (and in fact other things I don't know about) that were directly
checkouted (stolen?) from openBSD's cvs.
What gets build and what doesn't: All the necessary for latex
programs get build including mekaindex, dvipdf, ...
However, the following parts don't
psutils (since there is a port for it).
xdvipdfmx (didnot compile because of freetype no longer
supporting _FT_New_face_From_FSSpec, _FT_GetFile_Mac_..
and
there is a port)
xetex (in fact it gets built but the inixetex fails so I deleted
the xetex inifiles + we have a port, but I'm afraid it
will
be conflicting)
As I am not very knowledegeable on building latex, I put
openmaintainer as a maintainer. I hope someone more knowledgeable than
me will join or take the port (I vaguely remember reading that someone
was thinking about preparing a port of texlive on
irc://irc.freenode.org/#macports but did not find who it was).
I hope people will test and improve this port.
Emmanuel
