As stated there, <br>> indeed, the biber sources are not included in the TL source <br>> tree, and won't be.<br>
><br>> You could perhaps download the biber binary for your <br>> system (assuming it's one of the supported ones) either from <br>> sf or from TL and put into your bin/custom/ directory, if you <br>> don't want to build it from the original source.<br><br>Okay but there is biber source package (tar.gz), which comes with TexLive instalation... texmf-dist/source/bibtex/biber/biblatex-biber.tar.gz<br></div>As I understand it is the copy of actually released sources from biber team? So in my case, I can using it, but IS THERE ANYWHERE just compiled biber, that i can simple manually install in my exotic custom-x86_64- texlive?<br><br></div></div>About bin/custom setup: my goal is getting shared kpathsea for my evince can show dvi... and secondary: texlive's utilities will be use my system libs (libgs, poppler, freetype2, fontconfig, libpng, icu, graphite2, harfbuzz, xpdf, cairo, pixman, zlib)<br><br>> I believe that using the bin/custom setup means that tlmgr <br>> will never install updates to any executables, i.e., to add <br>> new scripts or update existing ones. Or updates to biber. <br>> You should get updates to the rest of the TeX tree, though.<br><br>2015-09-07 4:28 GMT+03:00 Norbert Preining <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:norbert@preining.info" target="_blank">norbert@preining.info</a>></span>:<br>> if you install with our install program<br>> and use -custom-bin, there will never be any updates to the<br>> files in your custom bin dir. That also means that for example<br>> updates to *scripts* as well as *new* scripts added there will<br>> *not* be reflected in your bin directory<br><br>Okay, tlmgr will not be manage my bin dir of course,.. but IS IT STILL really COULD working with texlive packages and it's updates? <br>If so, i would be satisfied.<br><br></div><div>By the way, maybe I'm fully not right and is there another way to get shared kpathsea lib???<br><br>> If it is linux from scratch, then there is no need <br>> to use -custom-bin, just install the binaries into <br>> PREFIX/texlive/2015/bin/<your-arch>/<br><br></div><div>No, it is Arch where evince (gtk document viewer) can't open dvi.<br><br>> you will not get scripts or any other updates. <br>> You have to do this manually.<br><br></div><div>What are complete list of other packages and parts, which have to doing manually? =)<br><br></div></div>
