TeX - LaTeX Asked on May 14, 2021
My machine does not have an existing TexLive install. I managed to build a XeTeX binary from sources (steps in How to build XeTeX and dvipdfmx from source (TexLive 2020))
I am now trying to create format files (complete script that I execute is here). I am getting an error from xelatex -ini -etex latex.ltx indicating that it can’t locate the fonts. Fonts are present in ./texlive directory populated by ./install-tl.
How do I instruct xetex binary to look into this directory? (I copied cp xetex xelatex).
@DonHosek suggested I create a separate question for this part of debugging. Broader context: I am trying to update outdated xetex-js and texlive.js to TexLive 2020 in order to create a simple in-browser LaTeX renderer.
Local config file preload.cfg used

UPDATE somehow kpathsea cannot find mktextfm which is in $TEXLIVE_SOURCE_DIR/texk/texlive/linked_scripts/texlive. If I add it to PATH, then ./prefix/bin/kpsewhich cannot find mktex.opt which is in ./texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/mktex.opt. ./prefix/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf does not know anything about ./texlive. How do I make sure that ./prefix/bin/kpsewhich can discover ./texlive and produce format files?
I had to add export TEXMFDIST=$PWD/texlive/texmf-dist, so that kpsewhich can discover the native install as suggested in https://github.com/lyze/xetex-js/issues/4#issuecomment-682257902.
