|

| 4 | are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
|
|---|
| 5 | notice and this notice are preserved.
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | For generic installation instructions on compiling and installing this
|
|---|
| 8 | Automake-based distribution, please read the file `INSTALL.generic'.
|

|

| 10 | Installation notes specific to Texinfo:
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | * texinfo.tex and the other *.tex files are not installed by `make
|
|---|
| 13 | install'. This is because there is no reliable way to know where to
|
|---|
| 14 | install them. Instead, you have to run an additional make command
|
|---|
| 15 | after the normal make install:
|
|---|
| 16 | make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex
|
|---|
| 17 | texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | * On the other hand, if you're maintaining a TeX distribution, you don't
|
|---|
| 20 | want your users to see the installation warnings, because you already
|
|---|
| 21 | have the files installed. (And you're keeping them up to date, right?)
|
|---|
| 22 | In this case, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set
|
|---|
| 23 | enable_install_warnings=no in the environment.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | * On MacOSX, if configure fails with the error:
|
|---|
| 26 | ac_cv_build='config.sub: invalid option -apple-darwin7.2.0
|
|---|
| 27 | this is probably because your uname -p is returning "unknown". Use
|
|---|
| 28 | /usr/bin/uname instead.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | * For instructions on compiling this distribution with DJGPP tools
|
|---|
| 31 | for MS-DOS and MS-Windows, see the file djgpp/README.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | * The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; the `dir-example'
|
|---|
| 34 | file in this distribution is included as a possible starting point.
|
|---|
| 35 | Use it, modify it, or ignore it just as you like.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | * You can create a file texinfo.cnf to be read by TeX when
|
|---|
| 38 | processing Texinfo manuals. For example, you might like to use
|
|---|
| 39 | @afourpaper by default. See the `Preparing for TeX' node in
|
|---|
| 40 | texinfo.txi for more details. You don't have to create the file if
|
|---|
| 41 | you have nothing to put in it.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | * If your info files are not in $prefix/info, you may wish to add a line
|
|---|
| 44 | #define DEFAULT_INFOPATH "/mydir1:/mydir2:..."
|
|---|
| 45 | to config.h after running configure.
