- READ ME FIRST: Xy-pic diagram typesetting package SOURCES
- =========================================================
-
- Welcome to the source distribution of the Xy-pic macros for
- typesetting diagrams! Below you will find the following sections:
-
- -1- License information
- -2- Making the package and manual from sources
- -3- Bugs & comments
- -4- Distribution log
-
- Please see the file `TRAILER' for a summary of features and how you
- can obtain Xy-pic if all you got is this file, and the file `INSTALL'
- if you have retrieved the `ready-to-use' package.

- -2- MAKING THE PACKAGE AND MANUAL FROM SOURCES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This section describes how to make the Xy-pic package from sources on
- a un*x system. Making Xy-pic requires use (and some knowledge) of
- several standard un*x utilities; furthermore the installation uses
- both TeX (with the LaTeX format) and METAFONT (with the plain base).
- If you do not have a un*x system then you are best adviced to get the
- `ready to run' package and install it as described in `INSTALL'.
-
- Generation and installation procedure:
-
- 1. First make sure that you have a separate directory `src' which
- contains all the files of the distribution (including this file).
- The file `MANIFEST' contains a list of the files.
-
- 2. Next you should edit the `Configuration section' of `Makefile' to
- fit the configuration of your system by following the directions
- given there.
-
- When you have configured everything then just do
-
- make
-
- which should generate all the files needed to use the package.
-
- 3. You can test the newly generated system by typesetting the User's
- Guide which you probably want for reference anyway: do
-
- make guide
-
- which should produce a file `xyguide.dvi' by running LaTeX several
- times and BibTeX once.
-
- 4. If possible it is a good idea to try to preview the User's Guide
- (in whatever way you do on your system) at this point. This is
- slightly difficult because it uses the Xy-pic fonts which you
- haven't installed yet, so the previewer should be instructed to
- look in the current directory before looking in the system font
- directories. The following show how to do this for the most common
- previewer (on un*x systems with X windows) and might work for you:
-
- env XDVIFONTS=.: xdvi xyguide.dvi
-
- 5. You should then install the package by ensuring that the install
- directories in `Makefile' are setup correctly and do
-
- make install
-
- This will replace exisiting `xypic.tex' and `xypic.sty' files with
- the new (compatibility mode) ones; the old ones will remain
- available with an `.orig' suffix.
-
- 6. You can typeset the entire manual with
-
- make manual
-
- to create both files `xyguide.dvi' and `xyrefer.dvi'; they can be
- installed in the TEXDOC directory with the command
-
- make install.manual
-
- 7. You can build format files by the commands
-
- make xytex.fmt
- make xylatex.fmt
-
- (the latter requires the new standard LaTeX release aka LaTeX2e).
- These assume that the files `plain.tex' and `latex.ltx' are
- available in the TeX search path; also you have to install the
- format files in the appropriate place yourself.
-
- That is all.
