pTeX-ng Installation

本文仅供参考，不要盲目复制运行本文的命令,可以参考本文中的错误解决方式

准备

其实安装 ptex-ng 主要就是两个阶段:

  • 编译得到 ptex-ng, platex-ng 这两个可执行文件

  • 生成对应的 fmt 格式文件: ptex-ng.fmt, platex-ng.fmt

在 Linux 下使用 gcc 编译一般不太有问题, 我也没有遇到任何的问题. 但是在生成 fmt 文件的时候踩了很多的坑. 注意事项:

  • 下面的用户是 root 还是普通用户，不同的用户也许可以把这些环境变量写到不同的地方.
  • 本文撰写日期: 2024-12-02. 如果后续仓库有更新或者是你使用的是之前的版本，那么此文章不一定具有参考意义.
  • 本文只讲解 Linux 下的安装方式, Windows 下同理

编译

这个编译是很简单的，clone 下来，然后切换到项目的根目录，执行如下命令:

1
./build-gcc/build-aptex.sh

整个编译过程也是很短暂的，一分钟不到就编译好了. 编译结束后，ptex-ng 和 platex-ng 应该就已经能够识别了. 测试如下:

1
2
3

> ptex-ng
This is Asiatic pTeX, Version 3.141592653 (preloaded format=ptex-ng)
**

> platex-ng
This is Asiatic pTeX, Version 3.141592653 (preloaded format=platex-ng)
**

但是要正常编译文件还不够，你还需要生成对应的 format 文件.

fmt 生成

环境变量设置

为了生成 fmt 文件, 你需要正确设置你的部分环境变量，主要是这两个:

  • TEXMFDIST

  • TEXMF

每一个人的情况可能是不一样的，就比如针对于我：我需要把如下的环境变量设置添加到我的 ~/.zshrc 中:

1
2
3
export TEXMFDIST=/usr/share/texmf-dist
export TEXMFLOCAL=/etc/texmf
export TEXMFHOME=~/texmf

然后在命令行临时设置两个变量:

1
2
export TEXMFDOTDIR=.
export TEXMF="{$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFDIST}"

文件缺失

如果我不设置上述的几个变量，那么在生成 fmt 文件的过程中就会抛出类似下面的错误：

1
2
3
4
5
6
...
I can't find file language.def. 
...
I can't find file uplatex.ltx .
...
fmtutil [ERROR]: running `ptex-ng -ini   -jobname=platex-ng -progname=platex-ng *platex-ng.ini </dev/null' error ...

其中 language.def 这个文件所在的目录，以及这个目录的结构如下:

1
2
3
4
> ls -al /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/
.rw-r--r-- 3.0k root 21 Nov 11:19 language.dat
.rw-r--r-- 1.7k root 21 Nov 11:19 language.dat.lua
.rw-r--r-- 1.5k root 21 Nov 11:19 language.def

上述的 uplatex.ltx 缺失是因为我没有在 Archlinux 下安装 这个东西，其实在 Arch Linux下想要安装这个文件方法很简单的。首先检查这个文件在 Arch 的哪个包中:

1
2
3
> sudo pacman -F uplatex.ltx
extra/texlive-langjapanese 2024.2-3 (texlive-lang) [installed]
    usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/uplatex/base/uplatex.ltx

上述输出表示，uplatex.ltx 在 texlive-langjapanese 这个包中，那么接下来安装这个包就行了:

1
sudo pacman -S texlive-langjapanese

如果要检测某个宏包或者是文档类是否安装，可以使用类似如下的命令检测:

1
2
> sudo tlmgr info soul | grep collection
collection:  collection-plaingeneric

上述的输出就说明，soul.sty 包括在 texlive-plaingeneric 这个包中，使用命令:

1
sudo pacman -S texlive-plaingeneric

进行安装即可.

修改 texmf.cnf

为什么要设置这几个变量呢? 因为在后续配置 texmf.cnf 这个文件的时候会用到. 设置好了这一系列的变量之后，就可以开始生成最终的 fmt 文件了. 最好检查一下你的环境变量是否正确, 可以参照如下示例:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
[root@LAPTOP-40IK66KO usage]# echo $TEXMFDIST
/usr/share/texmf-dist
[root@LAPTOP-40IK66KO usage]# echo $TEXMFLOCAL
/etc/texmf
[root@LAPTOP-40IK66KO usage]# echo $TEXMFHOME
/home/zpd/texmf
[root@LAPTOP-40IK66KO usage]# echo $TEXMFDOTDIR
.
[root@LAPTOP-40IK66KO usage]# echo $TEXMF
{/home/zpd/texmf,/etc/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist}

Ok，检查通过了. 下面开始配置这个文件，同样的，只需要运行仓库中 usage/REAMDE 中提供的命令即可:

1
2
3
tlmgr conf texmf TEXINPUTS.aplatex "$TEXMFDOTDIR;$TEXMF/tex/{uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//"
tlmgr conf texmf TEXINPUTS.aplatex-dev "$TEXMFDOTDIR;$TEXMF/tex/{latex-dev,uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//"
tlmgr conf texmf TEXINPUTS.aptex "$TEXMFDOTDIR;$TEXMF/tex/{uptex,ptex,plain,generic,latex,}//"

上述3个命令运行完以后，文件 texmf.cnf 中的内容如下:

1
2
3
TEXINPUTS.aplatex = .;{/home/zpd/texmf,/etc/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist}/tex/{uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.aplatex-dev = .;{/home/zpd/texmf,/etc/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist}/tex/{latex-dev,uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.aptex = .;{/home/zpd/texmf,/etc/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist}/tex/{uptex,ptex,plain,generic,latex,}//

我们简单的说一下这个文件的含义，比如第一行的:

1
{/home/zpd/texmf,/etc/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist}/tex/{uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}

其实就表示了不同路径的组合方式, 共有 3x1x4 种方式(路径). ; 进行路径的分割, 剩余的同理.

最开始我弄错了环境变量，所以运行完后，此文件内容如下:

1
2
3
TEXINPUTS.aplatex = .;{/home/zpd/.texlive/texmf-var,/home/zpd/texmf,/usr/local/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist:/etc/texmf}/tex/{uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.aplatex-dev = .;{/home/zpd/.texlive/texmf-var,/home/zpd/texmf,/usr/local/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist:/etc/texmf}/tex/{latex-dev,uplatex,platex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.aptex = .;{/home/zpd/.texlive/texmf-var,/home/zpd/texmf,/usr/local/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-dist:/etc/texmf}/tex/{uptex,ptex,plain,generic,latex,}//

上面的文件内容有部分的出入，是因为：我最开始设置的环境变量是:

1
2
3
4
5
export TEXMFDIST=/usr/share/texmf-dist:/etc/texmf
export TEXMFLOCAL=/usr/local/share/texmf:/usr/share/texmf
export TEXMFHOME=~/texmf
export TEXMFVAR=~/.texlive/texmf-var
export TEXMF={$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}

但是后面发现我的/usr/local/ 下根本就没有 share/texmf这个东西，而且这样设置后破环我之前安装的 xetex, pdftex 等引擎的配置, 所以就有了上面最终的那个比较精简的配置。

还是跟着仓库中的教程即可:

1
2
cd usage
fmtutil-sys --cnffile fmt-aptex.cnf --all

编译测试

现在就可以试试这个新引擎了, 输入如下的测试用例 test.tex:

你好，p\TeX{}-ng

\section{LONG}

platex-ng 的编译结果如下:

你还可以参见仓库问题: 请问什么时候会有 manual ？ · Issue #38 · clerkma/ptex-ng · GitHub. 链接里面的文档更加的丰富. 这个引擎的 Manual 目前还没有，但是已经兼容大部分的文档类和宏包了，包括 expl3.

原来的仓库中的命令是:

1
2
3
ptex-ng +aplatex test.tex
ptex-ng +aplatex-dev test.tex
ptex-ng -format=aplatex test.tex

但是，如果你尝试了就会发现，上述的命令并不能编译出对应的 pdf. 改为如下的命令即可正常编译:

1
2
3
ptex-ng +platex-ng test.tex
ptex-ng +platex-dev-ng test.tex
ptex-ng -format=platex-ng test.tex

也不知道 “李阿姨” 是故意的还是故意不小心的(大雾. 但是问题不大，你只需要知道：编译的时候你需要对应的 format 文件就行了. 毕竟这个 TeX 叫做 ApTeX(Aasiatic publishing TeX)，所以你可以在你喜欢的 shell 中给个 alias 之类的，如下:

1
2
3
alias aptex=ptex-ng
alias aplatex=platex-ng
alias aplatexd='ptex-ng +platex-dev-ng'

然后你就可以使用 aptex, aplatex, aplatexd 来分别调用这两种不同的格式了.
