 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 The following environment variables contain the string "tex"
 (case-independent).  If you're doing anything but adding personal
 directories to the system paths, they may well cause trouble somewhere
 while running TeX.  If you encounter problems, try unsetting them.
 Please ignore spurious matches unrelated to TeX.

TODO

Things to be considered for future versions:

  • add gdb (for macOS)

  • add doxygen

  • cleanup man folder

  • investigate why isl_test_cpp fails

  • gnutls requires several other libs

  • gnutls certificates folder

  • build nodejs

Fixed

  • use patchelf 0.12 (in v3.3)
  • use automake 1.16.2 (in v3.3)
  • -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 for 32-bit machine
  • libtool to use xbb gcc, not bootstrap
  • rename gcc-xbb, gcc-xbs
  • link gcc, cc, g++, c++
  • add objc, objc++, fortran support to gcc
  • build Python 3 in bootstrap
  • guille (1 test disabled)
  • autogen (1 test disabled)
  • add bash

Future work

XBB v4.x should be more modular, using binary xPacks.

GNU/Linux

There will be 3 Docker images (no i386) with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, basic development tools and node/npm.

The toolchains will be installed as binary xPacks.

Planned xPacks:

  • patchelf
  • coreutils
  • autoconf
  • automake
  • pkg_config
  • python3
  • mingw-gcc
  • wine

Some may not be available for all platforms.

Possible future xPacks:

  • curl
  • wget
  • tar
  • m4
  • gawk
  • sed
  • patch
  • diffutils
  • bison
  • make
  • bash
  • texinfo
  • dos2unix
  • p7zip
  • rhash
  • re2c
  • sphinx
  • gnupg
  • makedepend
  • git

The strategy will be to try use the Ubuntu 16 versions first, and, when not possible, add the xPacks for them.

macOS

For macOS all needed toos not yet available as xPacks should be compiled in a static XBB folder, as of now. For consistency, the versions will replicate those available in Ubuntu 16.

macOS specific tools:

  • realpath
