The first step is to configure the source code, telling it where various files will be. To do so, run
./configure options |
(Note: if you have fetched AUCTeX from CVS rather than
a regular release, you will have to first generate ./configure
by
running autogen.sh
in the `auctex' directory.)
On many machines, you will not need to specify any options, but if
configure
cannot determine something on its own, you'll need to
help it out with one of these options:
--with-emacs[=/path/to/emacs]
$PATH
, or
configure
is not finding the right Emacs executable, you can
specify it with this option.
--with-xemacs[=/path/to/xemacs]
--with-lispdir=/dir
--with-packagedir=/dir
If you are installing AUCTeX for a single user, and you have
installed no XEmacs packages as that user before, then configure
may try to install AUCTeX in the systemwide package directory
(that it cannot write to), causing installation to fail. In that case,
a good value for this option is `~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages', as
XEmacs looks there for per-user packages by default.
--with-tex-input-dirs=/dir-1/;/dir-2/;...;/dir-N/
TeX-macro-global
.
Normally only the subdirectories `tex/' and `bibtex/bst/' below the used texmf trees should be relevant. Putting the roots of texmf trees here is possible but may slow down file searching.
The directories should be separated by semicolons and each has to end with a directory separator, i.e. a slash or a backslash respectively.
--with-auto-dir=/dir
--help
configure
exist, and we do not have the room to
describe them here; a short description of each is available, using
--help
.
