#13969: texlive_base doesn't provide latex and pdflatex binaries ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: vinc17@macports.org | Owner: milosh@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by vinc17@macports.org): OK, it seems that the post-activate phase didn't run. "port install texlive_base" failed at the activate phase due to a conflict with teTeX. So, I deactivated teTeX and activated texlive_base with "port activate texlive_base". This is probably a design bug in MacPorts; the post- activate phase should be replaced by a phase that is run both after the install phase in direct mode and after the activate phase in image mode. And if MacPorts cannot know which port the links belong to, this is nasty. Can't the links be installed in destroot? In Debian, the links are in one of the architecture-independent packages (i.e. not with the other binaries): {{{ vin:~> dpkg -L texlive-latex-base | grep /usr/bin/ /usr/bin/latex /usr/bin/pdflatex }}} So, I suppose there is a solution (are they hardcoded?). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13969#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
