Automake-based distribution, please read the file `INSTALL.generic'.

Installation notes specific to Texinfo:

|
|
|
* texinfo.tex and the other *.tex files are not installed by `make
|
|
|
|
|
install'. This is because there is no reliable way to know where to
|
|
|
|
|
install them. Instead, you have to run an additional make command
|
|
|
|
|
after the normal make install:
|
|
|
|
|
make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex
|
|
|
|
|
texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On the other hand, if you're maintaining a TeX distribution, you don't
|
|
|
|
|
want your users to see the installation warnings, because you already
|
|
|
|
|
have the files installed. (And you're keeping them up to date, right?)
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set
|
|
|
|
|
enable_install_warnings=no in the environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On MacOSX, if configure fails with the error:
|
|
|
|
|
ac_cv_build='config.sub: invalid option -apple-darwin7.2.0
|
|
|
|
|
this is probably because your uname -p is returning "unknown". Use
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/uname instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For instructions on compiling this distribution with DJGPP tools
|
|
|
|
|
for MS-DOS and MS-Windows, see the file djgpp/README.

|
|
|
* The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; the `dir-example'
|
|
|
|
|
file in this distribution is included as a possible starting point.
|
|
|
|
|
Use it, modify it, or ignore it just as you like.

|
|
|
* You can create a file texinfo.cnf to be read by TeX when
|
|
|
|
|
processing Texinfo manuals. For example, you might like to use
|
|
|
|
|
@afourpaper by default. See the `Preparing for TeX' node in
|
|
|
|
|
texinfo.txi for more details. You don't have to create the file if
|
|
|
|
|
you have nothing to put in it.

|
|
|
* If your info files are not in $prefix/info, you may wish to add a line
|
|
|
|
|
#define DEFAULT_INFOPATH "/mydir1:/mydir2:..."
|
|
|
|
|
to config.h after running configure.
