In this distribution the TDS is assumed to be installed at /usr/share/texmf Canonical TDS are available from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) --see below for canonical CTAN host list: CTAN/systems/unix/teTeX/1.0/distrib/sources/teTeX-texmf-1.0.tar.gz /usr/doc/tetex-XXX/texk/etc/unixtex.ftp Of course one can used an already installed TDS (e.g. MiKTeX): 1] one can link it to /usr/share/texmf cd /usr/share ln -s texmf 2] one can mount it to /usr/share/texmf mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf mount /usr/share/texmf See the script /cygwin/cygunpack-tds and inspect how the TDS used to build the tarballs has been obtained. ----------------- Quick Installation: Here is an overview of a typical installation: 1] install TDS at /usr/share/texmf (see above): cd /usr/share mkdir -p texmf tar -zxf teTeX-texmf-1.0.tar.gz 2] remove, if exists, the directory /usr/share/texmf/web2c : the files in this directories are cygwin dependant. 3] install the binaries with the cygwin setup as usual; 4] check the configuration files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c texmf.cnf, fmtutil.cnf and mktex.cnf please note that the distributed configuration files are (with extension) frozen to avoid overwriting. 5] configure TeX: texconfig confall texconfig rehash (or mktexlsr) texconfig init and to configure what you need: texconfig 6] check that the dvips configuration file /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps does send outputs as desired (`o' line option). See /usr/doc/tetex-XXX/QuickInstall for more informations. ----------------- Quick Installation Check: 1] PostScript output: latex small2e.tex dvips small2e.dvi -o small2e.ps 2] PDF output: pdflatex small2e.tex Note that both PS and PDF outputs can be view (and print) with GSview (see below). ----------------- Viewer/Printer Notes: This distribution does not provide viewers (for the moment): 1] since the distributed cygwin does deal with X stuff, XDvi is not available: nevertheless the distributed source is distributed (without changes); 2] PDF output can be viewed (and print) with Acrobat Reader for Windows freely available at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat ; 3] PostScript (and PDF) output can be viewed (and print) with the Ghostscript Graphical Interface GSview distributed by Ghostgum http://www.ghostgum.com.au ; 4] both PDF and PostScript outputs can be printed with Ghostscrip. 5] cygwin does NOT provide a ready-to-use `lpr' (for the moment): consult the cygwin archive to see how to mimic `lpr'. ----------------- Help Notes: For further information concerning the cygwin distribution: 1] peruse the cygwin FAQ; 2] peruse the cygwin archive; 3] in last resort, send an email to the cygwin community cygwin AT cygwin DOT com with `teTeX' somewhere in the subject. ----------------- The source archive already has the appropriate cygwin patch applied. To remove and revert to a 'clean' tetex-beta-20001218 mv /cygwin/tetex-beta-20001218-X.patch /.. cd patch -p1 -R < ../tetex-beta-20001218-X.patch ------------------ See the script /cygwin/cygunpack-src and inspect how the original source has been obtained from various source archives from the CTAN.
