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:

http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xetex/TRUNK
http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xdvipdfmx/TRUNK

Taco's notes (for linux)

XeTeX's build process needs the tex binaries directory in the path to deduce an installation directory from. On the contextgarden, that should be /opt/texlive2007/bin/i386-linux/, because it assumes the path is TDS compliant (i.e., it ends with '/bin/<<platform>>')

 $ export PATH=/opt/texlive2007/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

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
