This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX
|
2000-01-17 10:39:58 +00:00
|
|
|
sources needed to process Texinfo sources. We recommend using the
|
2002-03-25 13:08:32 +00:00
|
|
|
texi2dvi included in this distribution to run a Texinfo manual through
|
2000-01-17 10:39:58 +00:00
|
|
|
TeX to produce a DVI file.

The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations
|
|
|
|
|
vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false
|
|
|
|
|
sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure
|
2000-01-17 10:39:58 +00:00
|
|
|
standard (http://tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory
|
2002-07-22 16:52:57 +00:00
|
|
|
TEXMF/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex, TEXMF/tex/generic/dvips/ for epsf.tex,
|
2002-03-25 13:08:32 +00:00
|
|
|
and TEXMF/pdftex/plain/misc for pdfcolor.tex. If you use the default
|
|
|
|
|
installation paths, TEXMF will be /usr/local/share/texmf. On systems
|
|
|
|
|
with TeX preinstalled, as most GNU/Linux distributions offer, TEXMF
|
|
|
|
|
will often be something like /usr/share/texmf.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to put these .tex files in a `local' place instead
|
2002-03-25 13:08:32 +00:00
|
|
|
of overwriting existing ones, but this is more complicated. See your TeX
|
2000-01-17 10:39:58 +00:00
|
|
|
documentation in general and the texmf.cnf file in particular for information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you add files to your TeX installations, not just replace existing
|
|
|
|
|
ones, you very likely have to update your ls-R file; do this with the
|
|
|
|
|
mktexlsr command. In older versions, this was named MakeTeXls-R.

2003-05-02 00:48:41 +00:00
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tex (and all GNU mirrors)

ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex (and all CTAN mirrors)

or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex.

If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check

|

for a newer version.

|
|
epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it
|
|
|
|
|
installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly
|
|
|
|
|
nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the
|
|
|
|
|
epsf.tex maintainer.
