MANUAL INSTALLATION of axohelp v. 1.2 and axodraw2
==================================================



A. Fully Manual Installation
----------------------------

  Note: if you do not wish to use axodraw2 with pdflatex, xelatex, or
        lualatex, but will only use it with latex, then only the
        first step is needed.

 1.  Copy axodraw2.sty to a suitable directory for LaTeX style files.

 2.  Compile the axohelp program by a command line like

         gcc -o axohelp -Wall -O3 axohelp.c

     (The exact details of the command line depend on your operating
     system and which compiler you have installed for the C
     language.)

 3.  Move axohelp to a suitable directory for executables.

 4.  (Optional) Copy axodraw2-man.pdf to a suitable directory for
                LaTex package documentation.

 5.  (Optional) Copy axohelp.1 to a suitable directory for man pages.


B. Using autoconf etc:
---------------------

  You can also make axohelp using the GNU utilities autoconf,
  automake and autoreconf (if these are installed).  Doing this is
  enormous overkill for a program like axohelp with a single source
  file and with no need to make adjustments dependent on the
  operating system etc. Even so, we provide the files necessary for
  the use of autoconf and automake, since these are needed when the
  axodraw2 package is incorporated into TeXLive (which has an
  enormous automated build process).  So here are the instructions
  for building with autoconf and automake.  For these, it is assumed
  that the GNU utilities autoconf, automake and autoreconf are
  installed:

  As in Fully Manual Installation, but replace step 2 by

 2'. Run

     autoreconf --install
    ./configure
    make

 Note that there are a couple of test scripts: axohelp.test, which
 gives a rudimentary test, and axohelp-big.test, which gives a
 comprehensive test on all axodraw2 objects used in the
 manual. **Warnings**: a. You could get a spurious failure of a test
 because of a mismatch between the line-endings of the test file and
 the file generated by axohelp (UNIX \n v. MS-Windows \r\n).  b. You
 could also get spurious test failure because of differences in the
 effects of rounding error with your compiled axohelp and the one
 used on the test system.
