+MANUAL INSTALLATION of axohelp v. 1.1 and axodraw2
+==================================================
+
+
+
+A. Fully Manual Installation
+----------------------------
+
+ Note: if you do not wish to use axodraw2 with pdflatex, xelatex, or
+ lualatex, but will only use it with latex, then only the
+ first step is needed.
+
+ 1. Copy axodraw2.sty to a suitable directory for LaTeX style files.
+
+ 2. Compile the axohelp program by a command line like
+
+ gcc -o axohelp -Wall -O3 axohelp.c
+
+ (The exact details of the command line depend on your operating
+ system and which compiler you have installed for the C
+ language.)
+
+ 3. Move axohelp to a suitable directory for executables.
+
+ 4. (Optional) Copy axodraw2-man.pdf to a suitable directory for
+ LaTex package documentation.
+
+ 5. (Optional) Copy axohelp.1 to a suitable directory for man pages.
+
+
+B. Using autoconf etc:
+---------------------
+
+ You can also make axohelp using the GNU utilities autoconf,
+ automake and autoreconf (if these are installed). Doing this is
+ enormous overkill for a program like axohelp with a single source
+ file and with no need to make adjustments dependent on the
+ operating system etc. Even so, we provide the files necessary for
+ the use of autoconf and automake, since these are needed when the
+ axodraw2 package is incorporated into TeXLive (which has an
+ enormous automated build process). So here are the instructions
+ for building with autoconf and automake. For these, it is assumed
+ that the GNU utilities autoconf, automake and autoreconf are
+ installed:
+
+ As in Fully Manual Installation, but replace step 2 by
+
+ 2'. Run
+
+ autoreconf --install
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make check
+
+ The last line runs a test to ensure axohelp is running
+ correctly.
