Subject: [9fans] Porting XeTeX
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:11:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7871fcf50803132111u432a9b81yfb4876e70c98699d@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
A question for Jonathan et al.: What is required of an operating
system to port XeTeX to it successfully? A C compiler? C++?
OS-level support for OpenType? Is porting freetype sufficient? A
different library?
I'm asking mainly because of Plan 9, a UNIX-like OS with a C compiler
(but no C++) to which the freetype library has been ported. There's
an old port of TeX that doesn't work too well anymore, so there's been
some talk about porting a modern TeX. (LuaTeX requires C++ for the
PDF library it uses, so that's out for now.)
