How to install eFrench under Linux
june 6th 2012, for eFrench, RayJ
----------------------------------
This eFrench installation has been tested with TeXLive
but should be valid for all Linux systems.
This distribution abides by the LPPL copyright.
Installation instructions
=========================
Put the french directory (and if necessary also the
msg directory) in place beeing accessible by
the \input command. Under TeXLive, for example
here (~ is the user's directory)
~/texmf/tex
or here
~/texmf/tex/plain
(or in the system TDS under tex/plain)
This way to do has been sucessfully tested under Ubuntu (9 to 11)
Notice
------
If for any reason french.sty after installation announces
that msg.sty or msg-msg.tex is missing, then read the directives
from Probl_Msg.txt, here in the install directory.
PS :
1. Messages are ANSI coded (latin9)
2. The language.dat file must define french as a
language, it's generally the case
3. For frenchle users a conflict can arise with the default frenchle
(installed for example under /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/frenchle)
A solution is to suppress that directory with its whole content.
(followed by $sudo texhash)
Another (easier) is to use french.sty instead of frenchle.sty
Documentation
=============
The user's manuals efrench.pdf and frenchle.pdf are in french.
Frenchle.pdf is included because it is also valid for efrench
as a good introduction to it's possibilities. And frenchle
is now a part of e-french.
