To install groff, follow the instructions in the file INSTALL.gen.
|
|
|
|
This file contains information that supplements those instructions.
|
|
|
|
groff is written in C++, so you will need a C++ compiler. The C++
|
|
source files use a suffix of `.cc', so your C++ compiler must be able
|
|
to handle this. If you don't already have a C++ compiler, I suggest
|
|
gcc 2.7.1 or later (gcc version 2 includes GNU C++ as well as GNU C).
|
|
From gcc 2.5, it is no longer necessary to install libg++: the C++
|
|
header files needed by groff are created by the gcc installation
|
|
process. To override configure's choice of C++ compiler, you can set
|
|
the CXX environment variable.
|
|
|
|
If you have a library that provides a faster malloc than your system's
|
|
usual malloc, it is good idea to include it in LIBS. For example,
|
|
using the malloc that comes with GNU Emacs version 18 can give a
|
|
worthwhile (and sometimes spectacular) performance improvement.
|
|
|
|
When you have build groff, you can use the test-groff script to try
|
|
groff out on one of the man pages. (Use the .n files not the .man
|
|
files.) The test-groff script sets up environment variables to allow
|
|
groff to run without being installed. The current directory must be
|
|
the build directory when the script is run. For example, you could do
|
|
|
|
./test-groff -man -Tascii groff/groff.n | less
|
|
|
|
If you want to install gxditview (an X11 previewer), follow the
|
|
instructions in the INSTALL file in the xditview directory.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems, read the PROBLEMS file. If this doesn't help
|
|
send a bug report using the form in the file BUG-REPORT.
