Installation Instructions for Tex2RTF ------------------------------------- Binaries are supplied for Windows 3.1 and for Sun workstations. If these don't work for you, or you are using a different system, you will need to compile Tex2RTF. There are several options for doing this. (1) GUI version If you want to have a graphical interface for Tex2RTF (not essential for a conversion utility!) then you will need to download wxWidgets from skye.aiai.ed.ac.uk (192.41.104.6) in the directory /pub/wxwin/beta, files wx150?_*.tar.Z (or .gz) where ? is the latest beta letter, currently i. On UNIX, you will then need to decide whether you want to produce an XView or Motif version (provided you have one of these toolkits), and change the makefiles in accordingly, in wx/src/x, wx/src/base and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src. Use the makefile target 'xview' or 'motif' from each of the directories wx/src/x and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src. Under Windows, just type 'nmake -f makefile.vc' if you're using a Microsoft-compatible compiler (you'll need to change the makefiles or build project files for other compilers.) (2) Non-GUI version Under UNIX, simply use the target 'nogui'. The supplied files in the src/wxwin directory supply the essential utilities from wxWidgets, and Tex2RTF will be built as a command-line program. On a PC, add 'NOGUI=1' to the makefile command line. Note that the small amount of memory available under DOS can cause catastrophic crashes for large input files, due to the lack of memory checking, so be warned! The Windows version is a more sensible choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Julian Smart, February 1993 J.Smart@ed.ac.uk
