(not all needed). + + +How to install XTeXShell ? + + 1) Choose a parent directory, where XTeXShell should be installed. + Usually /usr/local/src is a good choice. Copy the file + XTeXShell-0.91.tgz there and unpack with + + tar xzf XTeXShell-0.91.tgz + + tar will create a new directory './XTeXShell-0.91' and will unpack + the files to this directory + + 2) Create a link from one of your bin directories to the executable + xtexsh + + ln /usr/local/src/XTeXShell-0.91/xtexsh /usr/bin/xtexsh + + 3) If you have installed XTeXShell to a directory other than + /usr/local/src/XTeXShell-0.9, you will need to set a path-variable + in the file xtexsh: + + - edit 'xtexsh' and set the variable 'xtexsh_path' in the 4th line + to the directory you have chosen. + + 4) If your TclX interpreter is in a directory other than + + /usr/X11/bin/wishx + + you must edit the first line of the file xtexsh and insert the correct + path. + + 5) Make sure to read the file 'LICENSE' + + 6) That's it. Go ahead and start with 'xtexsh' + + + + A) If you update from a previous version of XTeXShell: + + - delete all files of the old XTeX release. + + - remove the link you made to xtex in your directory /usr/bin + + - the names of your private setup files have changed from + .xtex.setup to .xtexsh.setup. If you haven't worked with the + setup files, that's fine, you don't need to change anything. + + If you have created your own setup files, you can rename + them to the new name. However, if you want to use all features + of the new version, you should delete the old setup files and + generate new setup files (see file README). + + + B) If you want to use TFC, a text file format converter, compile TFC.CC + with a C++ Compiler and make a link to one of your 'bin' directories. + On my 486DX Linux System for example: + + g++ -O2 -m486 -o tfc tfc.cc + ln tfc /usr/bin/tfc + + +The following 2 items are for experts only: + + C) If you wish to run the script "upd", make sure that + + - The Path to the Tcl-Interpreter "tclsh" is set in the PATH + Variable. (That means that you can start "tclsh" from your + command prompt) + + - If your Path for "tclsh" is not /usr/bin/tclsh, you need to + modify the first line of the file help/convhelp. + + D) If you wish to run the script bitmaps/mkbitmaps, make sure that + the g++ (GNU-C++) Compiler is installed. If you have a C++ Compiler + other than g++, you need to change the compiler call in this file. + + +Customization: + + If you encounter any problems or want to customize XTeXShell to your + environment, try modifying the setup files. Please refer to the section + 'setup' in the manual ('xtexshell.tex') to find out how the setup files + work. + + +Error reports and flames: + + Please send error reports and your comments (if you like) on this + program to + + hofmann@vipmzw.physik.uni-mainz.de + + +How you can help: + + The help pages are far from being complete. Furthermore, some of them + are buggy and probably full of grammatical errors (English isn't my + native language...). If you find errors, please send my a notice. If + you like, please write help pages for missing commands and TeX/LaTeX + extensions. + + If you succeed in installing XTeXShell on operating systems other than + Linux, please send me a notice. + + Many thanks + + +Future: + + For the next updates, you can expect: + + - complete help pages for LaTeX and help for NFSS and LaTeX2e + - help page description converted to HTML. + - ???? (what would you like?) + + + If people like this program, it is planned to develop an IDE for the GNU + C/C++ and Pascal compilers. Any volunteers (especially for the help + system)? + |
