AROS TeXlive material
Installation
Prerequisites
At the moment of this release - 20080228, the beta 2,
TeXlive is not supported on AFFS - A Fucked File System on AROS.
If someone wants to debug AFFS, AROS just crashes by issuing the command:
mktextfm line10.
This release can run on a SFS partition. This is the setup I provided in
the qemu image.
The real stuff
Copy the content of the binary archive to 'Extras:'
(Work: should be ok too, but I didn't tested it).
And execute the following commands:
CLI> cd Extras/TeXlive
CLI> execute S/Package-Startup
CLI> echo Extras:TeXlive > EnvArc:SYS/Packages/TeXlive
In case you added some files to the texmf tree, you have to rebuild
the files listing database for kpathsea to find the new files:
CLI> mktexlsr
In case you have some problem with the previous command, just try
to delete those files first:
CLI> delete TeXlive:share/texmf/ls-R
CLI> delete TeXlive:share/texmf-dist/ls-R
Memory usage
Specially on AROS 'hosted', it is important to give the system enough memory
to install and run TeXlive. You should start AROS with at least 128Mb of RAM
(add more if you are trying a debug version, I just use 256Mb).
Testing the installation:
Please, try the tests described on the official site:
TUG TeXlive testing instructions
Current status
Tested and work with automatic fonts creation (and fmt files).
CLI> latex sample2e.tex
...
CLI> pdflatex sample2e.tex
...

These scripts need a POSIX shell or Perl to run.
