tlbuild: Configure options for texk/web2c
7.2.3 Configure options for 'texk/web2c'
----------------------------------------
'--with-banner-add=STR'
Add 'STR' to the default version string (which is ''TeX Live YEAR'' or
''Web2C YEAR'') appended to banner lines. This is ignored for a native
TL build, but distro builds should specify, e.g., '/SOMEDISTRO'.
'--with-editor=CMD'
Specify the command 'CMD' to invoke from the 'e' option of TeX and
friends, replacing the default 'vi +%d '%s'' for Unix or 'texworks
--position=%d "%s"' for Windows.
'--with-fontconfig-includes=DIR', '--with-fontconfig-libdir=DIR'
Building XeTeX on non-Mac systems requires the 'fontconfig' library
headers and code. If one or both of these options are given, the
required flags are derived from them; otherwise, they are determined via
'pkg-config' (if present).
'--with-mf-x-toolkit'
Use the X toolkit ('libXt') for Metafont (the default is to use the
lowest-level 'Xlib' support; it seems this has the best chance of
working across X installations nowadays).
'--disable-dump-share'
Make the 'fmt'/'base' dump files architecture dependent (somewhat faster
on LittleEndian architectures).
'--disable-ipc'
Disable TeX's '--ipc' option.
'--disable-mf-nowin'
Do not build a separate non-graphically-capable Metafont ('mf-nowin').
'--disable-tex', '--enable-etex', ...
Do not or do build the various TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost engines
(defaults are defined in the fragment 'texk/web2c/ac/web2c.ac').
'--disable-web-progs'
Do not build the original WEB programs 'bibtex', ..., 'weave'. Useful
if, e.g., you only want to (re)build some engines.
'--enable-auto-core'
This option causes TeX and Metafont to produce a core dump when a
particular hacky filename is encountered, for use in creating preloaded
binaries. This is rarely done nowadays.
'--enable-libtool-hack'
If enabled (which is the default for all platforms), prevents 'libtool'
from linking explicitly with dependencies of 'libfontconfig' such as
'libexpat'.
'--enable-*win'
Include various types of non-X window support for Metafont (EPSF output,
'mftalk', old graphics terminals, ...).
'--enable-tex-synctex', '--disable-etex-synctex', ...
Build the TeX engines with or without 'SyncTeX' support; ignored for a
native TeX Live build. Defaults are defined in
'texk/web2c/ac/web2c.ac'.
'--disable-synctex'
Do not build the 'SyncTeX' library and tool.
