- GNU texinfo v3.1
- ----------------
-
- Here's the binaries for GNU texinfo v3.1. These programs were all rather easy
- to build (the configure-script ran almost without problems). To compile and
- link the programs I used GCC v2.3.3 (Atari PL2) with MiNTLibs PL30. All
- binaries are stripped ('xstrip -k'), the _stacksize is set to 8kb and the
- fastload-bit is set. The binaries are NOT sharable, sorry!
-
- The standalone info-reader ('info') defaults to look for *.info-files in the
- directory "/dev/u/gnu/info". If that doesn't suit your setup, then set the
- environment-variable INFOPATHS to a colon-separated list of directories in
- which 'info' should look for *.info-files. To install 'info' just place it in
- a directory pointed to by PATH and make sure "/dev/u/gnu/info" (or whatever
- you have set INFOPATHS to) contains your *.info-files. You must also set the
- TERM and TERMCAP variables to match your setup.
-
- The makeinfo-program will take your *.texi or *.texinfo files as input and
- convert them into *.info-files, readable by 'info'. Just put the program
- ('makeinfo') somewhere in your PATH, change directory to
- ~/texinfo-3.1/makeinfo/ and type 'makeinfo makeinfo.texi'. After a second or
- two the program is ready and you've got a brand new file called makeinfo.info
- which should be moved to (for example) "/dev/u/gnu/info". When you've moved
- the file you should be able to view it by typing 'info -f makeinfo'.
-
- For first-time users the following sequence should provide you with enough
- information to get you started:
-
- 1. Since you're reading this file you've already unpacked the archive. :-)
- 2. Put the files info/info.ttp and makeinfo/makeinfo.ttp somewhere in your
- PATH.
- 3. Create the directory u:/gnu/info. If that doesn't suit your setup then
- be sure to set the INFOPATHS to the directory you choose to have your
- *.info-files in.
- 4. Set TERM and TERMCAP to something suitable.
- 5. Type 'makeinfo info/info.texi'
- 6. Move the newly created info/info.info to u:/gnu/info or some other
- directory pointed to by INFOPATHS.
- 7. Type 'info -f info'.
- 8. Follow the instructions and you'll learn how to operate the different
- functions.
-
- As usual the source-code can be fetched from your favourite GNU-site, or if
- they haven't got it, from prep.ai.mit.edu with anonymous FTP. Please respect
- the FTP guidelines by only FTP'ing during non-prime-time.
-
- Happy info-reading!
