Contents of README:I m a k e - T e X 1 . 0 0 =========================== Copyright 1993 Rainer Klute <klute@irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> This is Imake-TeX, an Imake support for creating documents with the TeX typesetting system and the LaTeX macro package. It helps you in using TeX (not in installing) it. With Imake-TeX, you will never again have to fiddle around with calling latex and its various utility programs (makeindex, bibtex). Simply type "make" and your document's DVI file will be up-to-date. All you have to do is to write a simple Imakefile and let Imake generate a suitable Makefile for you. Here is such an Imakefile: #include "TeX.tmpl" PaperFormatA4() SimpleLatexTarget(document) The generated Makefile provides the following commands: make depend: Searching the TeX source files for dependencies like \input{somefile} make dvi: Generate an up-to-date DVI file make viewdvi: Display it on your screen make ps: Generate a PostScript version of your document make viewps: Display it make clean: Remove unnecessary things make veryclean: Remove even the DVI file make Makefiles: Generate Makefiles in subdirectories Installation: ------------- Imake-TeX basically consists of a shell script "texmkmf" (TeX make makefile) and a template file "TeX.tmpl". Their installation is (of course) performed with the help of Imake. You should proceed as follows: 1. Edit the configuration file Imake-TeX.cf as needed. 2. Create an initial Makefile. You have to do this in two steps: 2.1 Type the command "xmkmf". It will issue an error message ("Can't find include file TeX.tmpl"), but it will also display the imake command it tried to execute. This will be useful in the following step. 2.2 Type the imake command as shown the xmkmf output, but add the option -DInstallImakeTex before you execute it. For example, on my machine I run the command imake -DUseInstalled \ -I/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/config -DInstallImakeTex 3. The command "make install" will make and install the texmkmf and TeX.tmpl at their appropriate places. Beware: An error message like /bin/sh /usr/bin/X11/mkdirhier.sh /destdir/lib/config /usr/bin/X11/mkdirhier.sh: /usr/bin/X11/mkdirhier.sh: No such file or directory indicates that the installation directory (here: /destdir/lib/config) does not yet exist and Imake fails to create it because the script mkdirhier.sh is missing. The solution is to create the installation directory manually and then to rerun "make install". 4. The command "texmkmf -a" replaces the initial Makefile with a full-blown one. You will need it to create the Imake-TeX documentation. Don't be alarmed when you get some warnings: Warning: chapter1.tex not found Warning: chapter2.tex not found Warning: chapter3.tex not found Warning: \([^ not found Warning: \([^.tex not found These messages are normal. If you wonder about them, look into the documentation where the reason is explained. 5. Enter one of "make dvi", "make ps", "make viewdvi", or "make viewps". They create the Imake-TeX documentation in DVI resp. PortScript format. The "view..." targets display it on your X11 screen. 6. Have fun. |
