You'll also need some other ports (xdvi, dvips...). An other solution is to grab some files from a CTAN site and install it with the given instructions. In order to install TeX, LaTeX2e (and other utils), I've grab the following files: systems/web2c/web2c-6.1.tar.gz systems/web2c/web-6.1.tar.gz systems/web2c/web2c.kpathsea-2.6.help systems/web2c/lib-6.9.tar.gz (this file includes Latex2e) dviware/xdvik/xdvik-18f.tar.gz dviware/dvipsk/dvipsk-5.58f.tar.gz The web2c.kpathsea-2.6.help, explain you how to compile TeX with the kpathsea-2.6 library. This version of kpathsea have many assets: - it can be configured with a 'texmf.cnf' file, - you can use a 'ls-R' file in order to speed up file searching, - and many others... There is just a little patch needed for xdvik-18f: *** xdvik/sfSelFile.c.save Wed Dec 14 21:04:38 1994 --- xdvik/sfSelFile.c Sat May 6 14:50:20 1995 *************** *** 48,52 **** --- 48,54 ---- /* BSD 4.3 errno.h does not declare errno */ + #if !(defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD__)) extern int errno; extern int sys_nerr; extern char *sys_errlist[]; + #endif ___ ________ _ | Frederic Loyer | __\| _|_ _/ \ | Ecole Nationale Superieure | __\____ | |/ _ \ | de Techniques Avancees |___\_____|___/ \_\ | e-mail : loyer@ensta.fr -- ___ ________ _ | Frederic Loyer | __\| _|_ _/ \ | Ecole Nationale Superieure | __\____ | |/ _ \ | de Techniques Avancees |___\_____|___/ \_\ | e-mail : loyer@ensta.fr
