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. |
