This directory contains various programs that use the kpathsea library
for configuration and path searching, and the library itself.

The README file in each subdirectory has an overview of that program.
The NEWS file in each subdirectory contains important changes by release.
The INSTALL file in each subdirectory has detailed instructions.
  kpathsea/INSTALL has information common to all the packages.
  kpathsea/CONFIGURE has information on running the configure script.

If you just want to go for it:
    configure
    make
    make install
    make distclean

The default installation prefix is the parent of the directory
containing the program `tex', or /usr/local. To change it or any other
paths, see kpathsea/INSTALL.

The above installs the programs, plus the configuration file texmf.cnf
and the documentation from the library. To install the libkpathsea.a
library itself and the header files, do
   (cd kpathsea; make install)
before the make distclean.  (configure does not look for an installed
library, since it's so likely to change from one version to the next.)

Please report bugs or suggestions in either the programs
or the documentation, no matter how small, to tex-k@cs.umb.edu.
Email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a line containing

If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or perhaps
your institution) should consider joining the TeX Users Group.  (If
you're already a member, great!)  TUG produces the TUGboat periodical,
sponsors an annual meeting and publishes the proceedings, and arranges
TeX courses for all levels of users.  Given funding (which your joining
would help) TUG will sponsor more projects that will benefit the TeX
community, such as a successor to TeX $\pi$.

Anyway, here is the address:

    TeX Users Group
