User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dvisvgm
To enable the build system to link to libkpathsea.so
, as the root
user create a symlink from /usr/lib
:
ln -svf $TEXLIVE_PREFIX/lib/libkpathsea.so /usr/lib
The test suite assumes that a modern version of Python has been installed as plain
python. Changing this
to use python3
requires a sed to one Makefile.in
file.
Install dvisvgm by running the following commands:
sed -i 's/python/&3/' tests/Makefile.in && ./configure \ --bindir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/bin/${TEXARCH} \ --mandir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
ln -svf $TEXLIVE_PREFIX/lib/libkpathsea.so /usr/lib: Without this, the program will not link correctly,
--with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX
: This
allows the build system to find the headers for kpathsea
