This is because there is no reliable way to know where to 14146515Sru install them. Instead, you have to run an additional make command 15146515Sru after the normal make install: 16146515Sru make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex 17146515Sru texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc. 18146515Sru 19146515Sru* On the other hand, if you're maintaining a TeX distribution, you don't 20146515Sru want your users to see the installation warnings, because you already 21146515Sru have the files installed. (And you're keeping them up to date, right?) 22146515Sru In this case, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set 23146515Sru enable_install_warnings=no in the environment. 24146515Sru 25146515Sru* On MacOSX, if configure fails with the error: 26146515Sru ac_cv_build='config.sub: invalid option -apple-darwin7.2.0 27146515Sruthis is probably because your uname -p is returning "unknown". Use 28146515Sru/usr/bin/uname instead. 29146515Sru 30146515Sru* For instructions on compiling this distribution with DJGPP tools 31146515Sru for MS-DOS and MS-Windows, see the file djgpp/README. 32146515Sru 33114472Sru* The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; the `dir-example' 34114472Sru file in this distribution is included as a possible starting point. 35114472Sru Use it, modify it, or ignore it just as you like. 3621495Sjmacd 37114472Sru* You can create a file texinfo.cnf to be read by TeX when 38114472Sru processing Texinfo manuals. For example, you might like to use 39114472Sru @afourpaper by default. See the `Preparing for TeX' node in 40114472Sru texinfo.txi for more details. You don't have to create the file if 41114472Sru you have nothing to put in it. 4221495Sjmacd 43114472Sru* If your info files are not in $prefix/info, you may wish to add a line 44114472Sru#define DEFAULT_INFOPATH "/mydir1:/mydir2:..." 45114472Sru to config.h after running configure. 46
