- notice and this notice are preserved.
- For generic installation instructions on compiling and installing this
- 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', 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 and
- keeping the files up to date yourself, you may not want to see the
- installation warnings.
- For that, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set
- enable_install_warnings=no in the environment.
- * The `makeinfo' program is a Perl program that can use extension
- modules, known as XS modules. The configure script will attempt to
- detect whether such modules can be built and loaded on your
- installation. If you want to disable the use of XS modules, you can
- give the --disable-perl-xs flag to `configure'; likewise, to use them
- without checking, give the --enable-perl-xs flag. Some of the
- environment variables listed in the output of `./configure --help' may
- be of use for building the XS modules.
- After building the program, the use of XS modules can be
- controlled with the `TEXINFO_XS' environment variable, which may be
- useful for troubleshooting. Set TEXINFO_XS=debug to print some
- information as the modules are looked for and loaded, TEXINFO=omit to
- disable their use, and TEXINFO_XS=required to force their use.
- * 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
- the Texinfo manual for more details. You don't have to create the
- file if you have nothing to put in it.
