texinfo-3.12

News:

• 2000 Apr 21: repackaged texinfo with a relinked install-info.exe, to remove a dependency on libz.dll (linked libz.a statically instead). Thanks to Olaf Bachmann for pointing this out.

texinfo-3.12-cygwin1.1.README

First, bootstrap by building only makeinfo.exe as explained in 
  gettext-0.10.35-cygwin-pre21.README

'Course, since gettext is a prerequisite, you might as well build
these packages first:

Prerequisites:
   gettext
   ncurses

Then, configure:

export CLFAGS=-I/usr/local/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --prefix=/usr/local

make
make check (a no-op)
make install

make_install will install the following files:

  /usr/local/bin/info
  /usr/local/bin/makeinfo
  /usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/texinfo.mo
  /usr/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/texinfo.mo
  /usr/local/bin/install-info
  /usr/local/bin/texindex
  /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi
  /usr/local/info/info-stnd.info
  /usr/local/info/texinfo*
  /usr/local/info/info.info
  
and then it runs the following commands [1]:

install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/info-stnd.info
install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/info.info
install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/texinfo

and finally, I installed these files by hand

/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex
/usr/local/share/texmf/generic/dvips/epsf.tex

[1]
If you unpack the binary distro, you'll need to run these three 
commands yourself
