- Installation of the pcl-cvs program
- ===================================
-
- 1. Edit the file `Makefile' to reflect the situation at your site.
- The only things you have to change is the definition of
- `lispdir' and `infodir'. The elisp files will be copied to
- `lispdir', and the info file to `infodir'.
-
- 2. Configure pcl-cvs.el
-
- There are a couple of paths that you have to check to make
- sure that they match you system. They appear early in the file
- pcl-cvs.el.
-
- *NOTE:* If your system is running emacs 18.57 or earlier
- you MUST uncomment the line that says:
-
- (setq delete-exited-processes nil)
-
- Setting `delete-exited-processes' to `nil' works around a bug
- in emacs that causes it to dump core. The bug was fixed in
- emacs 18.58.
-
- 3. Type `make install' in the source directory. This will
- byte-compile all `.el' files and copy both the `.el' and the
- `.elc' into the directory you specified in step 1.
-
- If you don't want to install the `.el' files but only the
- `.elc' files (the byte-compiled files), you can type ``make
- install_elc'' instead of ``make install''.
-
- If you only want to create the compiled elisp files, but
- don't want to install them, you can type `make elcfiles'
- instead. This is what happens if you only type `make' without
- parameters.
-
- 4. Edit the file `default.el' in your emacs lisp directory (usually
- `/usr/gnu/emacs/lisp' or something similar) and enter the
- contents of the file `pcl-cvs-startup.el' into it. It contains
- a couple of `auto-load's that facilitates the use of pcl-cvs.

- Installation of the on-line manual.
- ===================================
-
- 1. Create the info file `pcl-cvs' from `pcl-cvs.texinfo' by typing
- `make info'. If you don't have the program `makeinfo' you can
- get it by anonymous ftp from e.g. `ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu' as
- `pub/gnu/texinfo-2.14.tar.Z' (there might be a newer version
- there when you read this), or you could use the preformatted
- info file `pcl-cvs.info' that is included in the distribution
- (type `cp pcl-cvs.info pcl-cvs').
-
- 2. Move the info file `pcl-cvs' to your standard info directory.
- This might be called something like `/usr/gnu/emacs/info'.
-
- 3. Edit the file `dir' in the info directory and enter one line to
- contain a pointer to the info file `pcl-cvs'. The line can, for
- instance, look like this:
-
- * Pcl-cvs: (pcl-cvs). An Emacs front-end to CVS.

- How to make typeset documentation from pcl-cvs.texinfo
- ======================================================
-
- If you have TeX installed at your site, you can make a typeset
- manual from `pcl-cvs.texinfo'.
-
- 1. Run TeX by typing ``make pcl-cvs.dvi''. You will not get the
- indices unless you have the `texindex' program.
-
- 2. Convert the resulting device independent file `pcl-cvs.dvi' to a
- form which your printer can output and print it. If you have a
- postscript printer there is a program, `dvi2ps', which does.
- There is also a program which comes together with TeX, `dvips',
- which you can use.
