Instructions for installing Omega 1.23.4 (16 January 2003)

The Omega source code tree is not fully independent, in the sense
that you cannot simply put in in an arbitrary directory, and have
it `configure' and `make' properly.

The Omega source code tree must be placed either in the `texk' directory 
or a subdirectory (such as `web2c') of the `texk' directory in a recent
(later than 7.4.0) TeX Live distribution.

Until this distribution is properly integrated into the TeX Live
distribution, some massaging will have to take place.

Assume that BUILDDIR contains the TeX Live source directory and that
CONFARGS contains your standard configure arguments.  Then you
just need to type

  mv $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/configure $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/configure.save
  sed -e 's/ESUBDIRS"/ESUBDIRS omega"/' \
      -e 's/ESUBDIRS; do/ESUBDIRS omega; do/' \
      < $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/configure.save \
      > $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/configure
  chmod +x $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/configure
  mv $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/Makefile.in $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/Makefile.in.save
  sed -e 's/ESUBDIRS)/ESUBDIRS) omega/' \
      < $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/Makefile.in.save \
      > $BUILDDIR/TeX/texk/Makefile.in
  (cd $BUILDDIR; \
   ./configure --without-omega --without-oxdvik --without-odvipsk $CONFARGS)

One standard argument for configure is

	--prefix=your-favorite-directory

It is important that the configure script be capable of finding the
texmf directory that supports all of the TeX-related tools.

If the configure script cannot find X libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib, then
oxdvi will not be compiled or installed.
