splitting binaries
i can then use that (will make a script) that will install what is needed
mtxrun --script install --engine=xetex --platform=macosx-intel
and such (is we make luatex 'common' we have a scripting machinery)
building XeTeX and xdvipdfmx
(This might need to be moved to some better place, for example under XeTeX, but I needed to leave a note on building process before we all forget it.)
SVN sources are available at:

Taco's notes (for linux)
XeTeX's build process needs the texlive bin directory in the path.
On the contextgarden, that should be /opt/texlive2007/bin/i386-linux/,
because the build massages that path a bit to find an install directory,
and it assumes one of the bits is '/bin/'
For xdvipdfmx you have to feed it the locations of the kpathsea and freetype2 packages. I used these three commands:
$ export XETEX=location-of-xetex-TRUNK $ export LDFLAGS=-L$XETEX/Work/texk/kpathsea/.libs $ export CFLAGS="-I$XETEX/texk -I$XETEX/Work/texk" $ ./configure --with-ft2lib=$XETEX/Work/libs/freetype2/.libs/libfreetype.a --with-ft2include="$XETEX/libs/freetype2/include"
followed by 'make'. Not very pretty, but it worked.
Arthur's notes (for xdvipdfmx)
$ export $XETEX=location-of-xetex-TRUNK $ CFLAGS="-I$XETEX/texk -I$XETEX/Work/texk -I$XETEX/libs/freetype2/include -I$XETEX/libs/freetype2" \ LDFLAGS="-L$XETEX/Work/texk/kpathsea/.libs -L$XETEX/Work/libs/freetype2" ./configure
