[tex-k] Building standalone kpathsea

[Karl Berry]

Hi Norman,

    You can check out the entire tree (svn co
    svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source) but that takes a _long_
    while.  Or you can check out just the required bits:

Or you can use rsync to extract whatever pieces are desired:
http://tug.org/texlive/svn/

    http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/metapost/base.zip

That will get you the latest release (approximately).  Quite different
from the current development sources retrieved by svn/rsync.  If that's
what's wanted, you might as well get the *-source-* tarball we make as
part of the TL release, instead of MetaPost's version:
http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-tar.html

Thanks,
karl
