Installation of G-Wrap

Install G-Wrap by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

If you have teTeX-3.0 installed and wish to create alternate formats of the documentation, issue the following commands: 

cd doc &&
texi2pdf g-wrap.texi &&
texi2html g-wrap.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o g-wrap.txt g-wrap.texi &&
mv texinfo.tex texinfo.tex.SAVE &&
texi2dvi g-wrap.texi &&
dvips -o g-wrap.ps g-wrap.dvi &&
cd ..

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

If you created the alternate formats of the documentation, install it using the following commands as the root user: 

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/g-wrap-1.3.4 &&
install -v -m644 doc/g-wrap.{pdf,html,txt,dvi,ps} \
                 /usr/share/doc/g-wrap-1.3.4
