TeX Live 2009 port to N900

Hi,
I've ported TeX Live 2009 to Maemo and uploaded it to extras-devel.
It's already optified but highly experimental. Use it at your own risk!
Feel free to share your experiences here.

It's supposed to contain the full TeX Live distribution (incl. pdflatex, xetex etc)

The download is about 24MB. It uses about 60MB flash memory (virtually nothing on root).
For the installation the extras-devel catalogue must be enabled.
Just install texlive-latex-base from the Office section.

to get rid of everything or to reset for an upgrade use

Quote:

apt-get remove --purge tex-common luatex libkpathsea5
rm -rf /opt/tex-common

as root in the Terminal

Happy TeXing

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

sounds promising :) - thanks for the effort

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

Hi titan,

thanks!

Can't find it with the program manager. Apt-cache gives me

luatex and texlive-binaries.

Is there an editor planned? Maybe a port of texmaker would be great...

Thanks for the first step porting tex to maemo!

Good night,
MPW

there is no GUI application yet.
but once the console programs work lots of GUIs (e.g. LyX) could be ported.

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

This is truly fantastic news. I will give this a try tonight!

Have you tested xelatex? (I need xelatex's unicode (font) support for the work I'm doing).

What about the beamer class, any chance of including it you haven't already done it?

And what about tikz/pgf?

Once again, thanks for your work - it is truly appreciated!

@MPW, the imho without comparison best editors for latex are already available natively for Maemo 5 (GNU Emacs and Vim).

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

Thanks a lot titan, this sounds too good to be true!

I also commented out the luatex-lines in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf.dpkg-new and tried

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

This is madness. Nice. I'd like pdflatex, if it's not there already, and the memoir book class, microtyping, ledmac/ledpar, etc.... ;)

Re: TeX Live 2009 port to N900

thanks for the feedback.
it seems that configuration fails already with tex-common on your device.
I might already have hacked my device too much
so it's useful to see other people's output.

could you please set the first two lines of
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tex-common.postinst
to

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e                                                                                                                                             

set -x

and send me the output of
dpkg --configure tex-common

thanks

yes, pdflatex is included and works.
It's the same as TexLive2009 on your desktop.
