The dvisvgm package converts DVI, EPS and PDF files to SVG format.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dvisvgm
To enable the build system to link to libkpathsea.so
, as the root
user create a symlink from /usr/lib
:
ln -svf $TEXLIVE_PREFIX/lib/libkpathsea.so /usr/lib
The test suite assumes that a modern version of Python has been installed as plain
python. Changing this
to use python3
requires a sed to one Makefile.in
file.
Install dvisvgm by running the following commands:
sed -i 's/python/&3/' tests/Makefile.in && ./configure \ --bindir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/bin/${TEXARCH} \ --mandir=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
ln -svf $TEXLIVE_PREFIX/lib/libkpathsea.so /usr/lib: Without this, the program will not link correctly,
--with-kpathsea=$TEXLIVE_PREFIX
: This
allows the build system to find the headers for kpathsea
