PREREQUISITES ============= You need Objective Caml 3.11 or higher to compile the sources. You also need the `kpsewhich' utility of the `kpathsea' library provided by many TeX distributions. For bitmap based image inclusion using \includegraphics of the graphics macro package, you require the camlimages library, with version 4.0.0, available at http://gallium.inria.fr/camlimages/ You need the findlib utility to automatically detect installed ocaml libraries configuration, available at http://www.camlcity.org/archive/programming/findlib.html To display postscript based drawings by PsTricks macro package, you need ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com). You need the version 7.05 or later for the correct synchronization of drawing of the TeX glyphs and postscript graphics. COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION ============================ Use the standard procedure: ./configure && make && sudo make install Use ./configure --help for various options Alternatively: * Install the binary by hand, by simply copying it (them) to the appropriate directory. * Copy the files advi.sty to a place where it is a visible latex package. (kpsewhich advi.sty should succeed from where LaTeX is run) * Copy the file advi.pro to a place where is it a visible PS header. (kpsewhich advi.pro should succeed from where advi is run) Generating build scripts ------------------------ This is only needed if you're using CVS version directly. * make sure ocaml autoconf macros, available from bazar-ocaml/autoconf directory, are present in aclocal macro search path, by any of the following solution: - exec before invoking autoreconf: export ACLOCAL='aclocal -I ' - set up a dirlist file in automake macro directory, as explained in aclocal documentation * run autoreconf --install JAPANESE USERS ============== There is a configuration file for mapping Japanese TeX font names to Japanese True Type fonts called "jpfonts.conf". It is placed in the advi library directory (usually /usr/local/lib/advi/). If you want to use different TrueType fonts, you can edit this file, or put your own jpfonts.conf in ~/.advi/ .
