| 3 Installation of the pcl-cvs program | |
| 4 =================================== | |
| 5 | |
| 6 1. Possibly edit the file `Makefile' to reflect the situation at your | |
| 7 site. We say "possibly" because the version of pcl-cvs included | |
| 8 with CVS uses a configuration mechanism integrated with the overall | |
| 9 mechanisms used by the CVS build and install procedures. Thus the | |
| 10 file `Makefile' will be generated automatically from the file | |
| 11 `Makefile.in', and it should not be necessary to edit it further. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 If you do have to edit the `Makefile', the only things you have to | |
| 14 change is the definition of `lispdir' and `infodir'. The elisp | |
| 15 files will be copied to `lispdir', and the info file(s) to | |
| 16 `infodir'. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 2. Configure pcl-cvs.el | |
| 19 | |
| 20 There are a couple of pathnames that you have to check to make | |
| 21 sure that they match your system. They appear early in the file | |
| 22 `pcl-cvs.el'. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 *NOTE:* If your system is running emacs 18.57 or earlier you MUST | |
| 25 uncomment the line that says: | |
| 26 (setq delete-exited-processes nil) | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Setting `delete-exited-processes' to `nil' works around a bug in | |
| 29 emacs that causes it to dump core. The bug was fixed in emacs | |
| 30 18.58. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 3. Release 1.05 and later of pcl-cvs requires parts of the Elib | |
| 33 library, version 1.0 or later. Elib is available via anonymous | |
| 34 ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in `pub/gnu/elib-1.0.tar.gz', and from a | |
| 35 lot of other sites that mirror prep. Get Elib, and install it, | |
| 36 before proceeding. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 *NOTE:* The version of pcl-cvs included with CVS includes a copy | |
| 39 of Elib in the sub-directory `elib' under the `contrib/pcl-cvs' | |
| 40 directory. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 4. Type `make install' in the source directory. This will | |
| 43 byte-compile all `.el' files and copy the `*.elc' files into the | |
| 44 directory you specified in step 1. | |
| 45 | |
| 46 If you want to install the `*.el' files too, you can type `make | |
| 47 install-el' to do so. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 If you only want to create the compiled elisp files, but don't | |
| 50 want to install them, you can type `make' without parameters. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 5. Edit the file `default.el' in your emacs lisp directory (usually | |
| 53 `/usr/gnu/lib/emacs/site-lisp' or something similar) and enter the | |
| 54 contents of the file `pcl-cvs-startup.el' into it. It contains a | |
| 55 couple of `auto-load's that facilitates the use of pcl-cvs. | |
| 56 | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Installation of the on-line manual. | |
| 59 =================================== | |
| 60 | |
| 61 1. Create the info file(s) `pcl-cvs.info*' from `pcl-cvs.texinfo' by | |
| 62 typing `make info'. If you don't have the program `makeinfo' you | |
| 63 can get it by anonymous ftp from e.g. `prep.ai.mit.edu' as | |
| 64 `pub/gnu/texinfo-3.7.tar.gz' (there might be a newer version there | |
| 65 when you read this). | |
| 66 | |
| 67 2. Install the info file(s) `pcl-cvs.info*' into your standard `info' | |
| 68 directory. You should be able to do this by typing `make | |
| 69 install-info'. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 3. Edit the file `dir' in the `info' directory and enter one line to | |
| 72 contain a pointer to the info file(s) `pcl-cvs.info*'. The line | |
| 73 can, for instance, look like this: | |
| 74 | |
| 75 * Pcl-cvs: (pcl-cvs). An Emacs front-end to CVS. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 How to make typeset documentation from pcl-cvs.texinfo | |
| 78 ====================================================== | |
| 79 | |
| 80 If you have TeX installed at your site, you can make a typeset manual | |
| 81 from `pcl-cvs.texinfo'. | |
| 82 | |
| 83 1. Run TeX by typing ``make pcl-cvs.dvi''. You will not get the | |
| 84 indices unless you have the `texindex' program. | |
| 85 | |
| 86 2. Convert the resulting device independent file `pcl-cvs.dvi' to a | |
| 87 form which your printer can output and print it. If you have a | |
| 88 postscript printer there is a program, `dvi2ps', which does. There | |
| 89 is also a program which comes together with TeX, `dvips', which | |
| 90 you can use. | |
