- {{{ Notes
- This file contains some frequently asked questions. I wrote it for
- those people, who like to email me questions instead of roff the
- documentation and read it before installing Origami. I hope this avoids
- unnecessary email. Warning: The explanations given in this file are
- *short*.

- {{{ What is required to install Origami?
- An (nearly) POSIX compliant system, m4, awk, nroff, and either an ANSI C
- compiler or unproto+k&r compiler.
- }}}
- {{{ How do I install Origami?
- Run Configure and answer the questions. If your system requires changes,
- then edit Configfile generated by Configure and extend Configure after
- everything is ok. Note that Configfile is include by all Makefiles, so you
- can go to each directory and run make.
-
- READ WHAT Configure SAYS ABOUT HOW TO INSTALL ORIGAMI.

- {{{ For Linux users: What is soelim? *cry*
- Not quite understandable, I hear complains about this very often. Some
- broken system have soelim installed as gsoelim. This can be fixed easy,
- because GROFF only offers this option for systems which already have
- *roff, and want to use GROFF besides. Just reinstall it right. LINUX
- USES GROFF AS SYSTEM-ROFF. THERE IS NOTHING BESIDE.
- }}}
- {{{ It takes an infinitity to compile!
- Use mawk instead of gawk, and compiling will speed up a lot.
- }}}
- {{{ Is Origami full EMacs compatible?
- No. I use EMacs (== Editor Macros) as an adjective. Origami is a small
- editor, which has all capabilities needed by its authors. Since this
- may be very subjective, source code is provided.
- }}}
- {{{ Is Origami full vi compatible?
- Again no. vi is a philosophy as well. A a few things work different
- compared to vi. But there are modes and a lot of other stuff loved by
- vi users and hated by EMacs users. The vi stuff is still under
- development, ask windy@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de.
- }}}
- {{{ Why isn't it full POSIX?
- Tell me your complaints, and I will fix it. Origami is enough POSIX to
- run without problems on all POSIX systems I know. POSIX leaves out quite
- a few things (termcap/terminfo), so you can not expect that any POSIX system
- compiles it without problems.
