Hi, all :
I just finished building TL2013 on MinGW with following command:
./Build --without-ln-s
--with-clisp-runtime=/c/ADE/programs/clisp/base/lisp.exe --disable-xpdfopen
To build TL on MinGW, I need to
1. Modify autoconf's core file 'status.m4' as described in my earlier
posted message entitled 'Fail to set macros in c-auto.h for MinGW -- if not
build in source tree'
2. Change some DOS formated file (with CRLF as end of line) to Unix
format, these include :
a. m4 files in source/m4/
b. lnstall-sh , ltmain.sh in source/build-aux/
c. dvipng.texi in texk/dvipng/doc/
All these files must be change to UNIX format (with dos2unix command)
before building TL.
Also I need to install/update following program/library to MinGW :
automake 1.13,
fontconfig,expat, freetype(for XeTeX)
clisp(for xindy)
Building option '--with-clisp-runtime= .... /clisp/base/lisp.exe’
is necessary because 'xindy/configure ' can not locate clisp runtime.
A brief summary :
To build TL on MinGW, we need to modify autoconf's 'status.m4' and
change all DOS formatted files to Unix format.
