1	Installation procedures for `send-pr'
2
3If you receive `send-pr' as part of a larger software distribution, it
4will be automatically installed when the full distribution is
5installed.  The `send-pr' directory, however, is easily installed by
6itself by following these steps:
7
81.  Unpack the distribution into a directory which we will refer to as
9    SRCDIR.  
10
112.  Edit the `Makefile' to reflect local conventions.
12
13    Specifically, you should edit the variable "prefix" to alter
14    the installation location.  The default is '/usr/local'.  All
15    files are installed under "prefix" (see below).
16
173.  Run 
18	make all install [ info ] install-info [ clean ]
19
20    from the "build directory".  The targets mean the following:
21
22	 all	Builds `send-pr' and `install-sid'
23
24     install	Installs the following:
25
26			    send-pr	into PREFIX/bin 
27			install-sid	into PREFIX/bin
28			  send-pr.1	into PREFIX/man/man1
29			 categories	as PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE
30		      send-pr-el.in	as PREFIX/lib/emacs/lisp/send-pr.el
31
32        info	(optional) Builds "send-pr.info" from "send-pr.texi"
33		(send-pr.info is included with this distribution)
34
35install-info	Installs "send-pr.info" into PREFIX/info
36
37       clean 	(optional) Removes all intermediary build files that can
38		           be rebuilt from source code
39
404.  Run 
41
42	install-sid SID
43
44    where SID is the submitter identification code you received with
45    `send-pr'.  If you've downloaded `send-pr' from the Net, use "net"
46    for this value.
47
48
495.  Any users who wish to use the Emacs version of `send-pr' must place
50    the following line in their ".emacs" files:
51
52	(autoload 'send-pr "send-pr" "Submit a Problem Report." t)
53
54
556.  Create a mail alias for the support site you received `send-pr'
56    from, and for every site with which you wish to use `send-pr' to
57    communicate with, each with a suffix of `-gnats'.  The support
58    site(s) will provide the correct addresses toward which these
59    aliases should point.  For instance, edit your mail aliases file
60    to contain something like:
61
62	# support sites; for use with send-pr
63	cygnus-gnats:     bugs@cygnus.com            # Cygnus Support
64	bumblebee-gnats:  bumblebugs@bumblebee.com   # Bumblebee BASIC, Inc.
65	mycompany-gnats:  bugs@my.company.com      (if you use GNATS locally)
66
67    `send-pr' automatically searches for these aliases when you type
68
69	send-pr cygnus
70	send-pr bumblebee
71	send-pr SITE...
72
73    `send-pr' also uses SITE to determine the categories of bugs the site
74    in question accepts by looking in PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE
75
76
777.  That's it!  See "send-pr.info", "send-pr.texi", and/or "send-pr.1" for
78    information on using `send-pr'.
