User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/asymptote
Install asymptote by running the following commands:
export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && patch -Np1 -i ../asymptote-2.32-ghostscript_fix-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/2014 \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/2014/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/2014 \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/2014/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/doc/man && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--prefix=, --bindir=, --datarootdir=,
--infodir=, --mandir= ... : these switches ensure that
the files installed from source will overwrite any corresponding
files previously installed by install-tl-unx so that the alternative methods
of installing texlive are
consistent..
--libdir=/opt/texlive/2014/texmf-dist;:
This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any
files installed by install-tl-unx.
