Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations can be typeset with LaTeX.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.3 platform.

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/') && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/2018 \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/2018/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist \ --infodir=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/info \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --enable-gc=system \ --with-latex=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/tex/latex \ --with-context=/opt/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/tex/context/third && make
To test the results, issue: make check. Note that if PyQt5 has not been installed some UI tests will report that pyuic5 and other commands are not found, followed by ''Error 127 (ignored)'.
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/2018/texmf-dist;
:
This parameter ensures that the asymptote
directory will similarly overwrite any
files installed by install-tl-unx.
--enable-gc=system
: this
ensures that the system version of libgc.so
will be used instead of the version
shipped with this package.
--with-latex= ...
--with-context=
: These switches ensure that style files
and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a
texmf-local
directory for them.
