To install (on a UNIX system)
On modern Linux distributions, you would prefer to install
LaTeX2RTF by the package manager of your distribution, which also
provides an easy means for update and uninstallation.
If your package manager does not provide the LaTeX2RTF package or
you need to install LaTeX2RTF from the sources for some other
reason, you should consider using 'checkinstall' which creates a
package for your package manager which then can be installed and
uninstalled by the package manager.
If you nevertheless need to run install from the sources, note the following:
If your 'mkdir' doesn't support the '-p' option, then create the
necessary directories by hand and remove the option from the
'$MKDIR' variable. If you have other problems, just copy
'latex2rtf' and 'latex2png' to a binary directory, and move the
contents of the 'cfg/' directory to the location specified by
'$CFG_INSTALL'.
- Edit Makefile for your local configuration. The default install
is reasonable, but if you do not have root access, then you might
need to set $DESTDIR to be your home directory.
- make
- If this is not your first-time installation, you may want to preserve
your old configuration (*.cfg) files. Copy them to a safe place before
installing.
- [sudo] make install
- make check (expect warnings but no errors)
[OPTIONAL] This tests LaTeX2RTF on a variety of LaTeX files.
Expect a whole lot of warnings, but no outright errors. (On IBM
AIX, use 'gmake check'.) Note that this will check the basic
functionality of the 'latex2png' script, and then that of
'latex2rtf'.
