1) See the INSTALL file for installation instructions
-2) Portability under various UNIX-type systems (including Linux):
- A special hack is used at the beginning of the latexmk script to ensure
- that it correctly runs without the need to adjust a #! line. All that
- is necessary is that the script has execute permission.
+2) The main portability/non-portability issues: The various commands to
+ process LaTeX files may often need to be changed for particular
+ installations. See the INSTALL file and the documentation for
+ information on customization.
-3) Portability under non-UNIX systems:
- Under other operating systems some other arrangement needs to be made
- to run the file. For example under MS-Windows, the supplied batch file
- latexmk.bat will do this. Under current TeXLive (2009 or later)
- distribution, latexmk can be installed by TeXLive's package
- manager, in which case an executable program is also installed to
- run latexmk.pl, and an appropriate version of Perl is part of the
- TeXLive system.
+3) Availability:
- You may also find it necessary to convert files to the correct
- local format for text files. As downloaded, the files are in UNIX
- format (line-ending is '\n'). On MS-Windows systems, the
- conversion to MSDOS format (with line-ending '\r\n') is normally
- UNnecessary, since much current software handles the UNIX format
- correctly. (The known current software for which this statement
- applies includes MikTeX, TeXLive, emacs.)
