How can I install the above ?
http://tug.org/texlive/build.html#deploy
Is there a way to modify the iso so that I
can use the (linux-like) script install-tl?
After copying the binaries per above, install-tl should basically work.
The only question in my mind is whether the new directory (say,
i386-cygwin) will show up in the architecture list. (I'm sure it won't
be selected by default.)
For the sake of completeness, in Work/libs I find a lot of rebuild libs
(ncurses, png, fretype,...) which Cygwin has as its own packages and
which I installed...
If the goal is provide binaries for the TeX Live distribution (as
opposed to making them for yourself or for a Cygwin distribution), it is
highly desirable to compile with TeX Live's version of the libraries.
