[XeTeX] Building on Intel Mac

[Jon Breitenbucher]

Hmmm. DATADIR seems to have no counterpart in the new layout. It is / 
usr/local/teTeX/share in the old layout and this has the texmf.*  
directories, but in the new layout there is no share instead the  
texmf.* are in /usr/local/TeXLive. It also looks like the script uses  
kpsewhich to determine where TeX lives when I run "which kpsewhich  |  
sed -e 's!/bin/.*!/!;'" I get /usr/local/TeXLive as I should and so  
this is what the runConfigure.sh is setting for PREFIX. Also  
kpsewhich hyphen.tex | sed -e 's!/texmf.*!/!;' in the script should  
set DATADIR to /usr/local/TeXLive as surmised above. So the script is  
setting the PREFIX and DATADIR correctly.

I think the problem is with build-xetex as this is the script that is  
responsible for creating the Work directory and doing the build.  
Bruno wondered if it is a permissions issue. It really shouldn't be  
as I issued chown -R jonb root (root is the directory with the xetex  
svn snapshot). I can say that build-xetex is creating the Work  
directory and some of the directories being created during the build,  
just not the ones indicated.

I have changed the DATADIR and PREFIX defaults in the runConfigure.sh  
script and will try now.
Same result.

./build-xetex: line 30: cd: Work/texk/web2c: No such file or directory
./build-xetex: line 35: cd: Work/texk/xdv2pdf: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/web2c/xetex: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/xdv2pdf/T1Wrap: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/xdv2pdf/xdv2pdf: No such file or directory

If I add

cp -R texk Work/

to the build-xetex script I do not get the above errors but instead  
the build ends with

ls: Work/texk/web2c/xetex: No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x   1 jonb  jonb   88248 Nov 26 19:11 Work/texk/xdv2pdf/T1Wrap
-rwxr-xr-x   1 jonb  jonb  955412 Nov 26 19:11 Work/texk/xdv2pdf/xdv2pdf

So T1Wrap and xdv2pdf are built but not xetex. It is looking for an  
xetex directory but what is in wbe2c is xetexdir. Maybe I should try  
the tarball instead of the svn.
