building LaTeX puppy?
woof woof to all
recently, after many hours spent unsuccessfully to try install LaTeX on puppy, I have asked to myself: why don't build a LaTex puppy? Is anyone interested to build?

Yes, exactly.Marblemike wrote:I'm all for getting latex going myself - well lyx actually , but I fail to understand what you mean by latex puppy, do you mean a version dedicated to performing all things tex?
Like a latex package manager, collection of frontends, etc?
Because I have spent many hours unsuccessfully trying to install a working LaTeX environment system on puppy, I really like if any smart puppy user or engineer plains to build a derivated version of Puppy with LaTeX system already setted and working
I think also that this pupplet may be have a lot of success

Ok, I understand now. I'd like to try - but i've never done anything like this at all though. I do need to find out as I need to make a different puppy of my own with many different features for another project so I think this would be a good opportunity to learn.
I'm keen to try, but as I say, I have little idea of where to start - would you have to do the puppy unleashed thing or compile the source from scratch? I've done the puppy unleashed thing before, but not the full compile of source.
I'm very interested and agree that it would be of use if someone more experienced could provide a guide on how to do it.

Alternative to LaTeX ?
I recently came across this Linux Gazette article on the mom macros for use with groff.
http://linuxgazette.net/107/schaffter.html
I've never tried this package but it sounds interesting. The author claims a lot of the functionality of LaTeX from a much smaller package.
cheers,
Ken

It seems there are a lot of dependencies on qt & gtk2, & anomolies between puppy 3.01 & 4

Thanks for the link Lobster.
I was thinking it would be easiest to get try round the dependencies and get a full blown latex system by converting the complete tetex slackware package http://packages.slackware.it/package.ph ... 3.0-i486-5 to a .pet, but I hear puppy 4.00 isn't fully slackware compliant so this would probably only work on puppy 3.01. Its a big download though, ~50 Mb and I'm running out of bandwidth so need to wait till next month before I can play around.

I'd made a squash file for TexLive 2007 for Puppy 4.0 named tex_400.sfs. But I don't know how to upload. If someone need to try it, please give me a link to upload it.

You must set path "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux" before to use this tex_400.sfs
Open the file /etc/profile and add this string "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux". After that you will have:
PS: TeX/LaTeX will work with this path. I did'nt to add the path in tex_400.sfs
Open the file /etc/profile and add this string "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux". After that you will have:
Code: Select all
#v3.02 set variables so everything can be found...
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/root/my-applications/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R7/lib:/root/my-applications/lib"

do you know how install texmaker in Puppy 4?vanchutr wrote:If you like to use Texmaker "tex-editor" you must install it.
For simplicity you can use the built in "geany" editor. The geany editor is good enough to manipulate "tex" source file (with syntax high ligth).
Be happy
