Installation instructions

The xint repository does not serve development versions but only the current release (as available at CTAN and included in TeX distributions such as MikTeX or TeXLive) as well as past releases. So these instructions are probably needed only in the case you want to try out a past release. Note that xint only needs e-TeX, but compiling its documentation requires LaTeX.

  1. To extract the TeX macro files execute etex xint.dtx (of course you need etex, it will be present if you have any sort of TeX/LaTeX installation; you can also use latex or pdftex here).
  2. To build the documentation (on a Unix-like system and for releases since 1.1; for earlier releases, follow instructions in the corresponding checked-out README): fetch also Makefile, place it and xint.dtx together in some directory, and execute make xint.pdf for the user manual and make sourcexint.pdf for the commented source. Since 1.4l there is also an xint-all.pdf target to get a combined PDF with both user manual and commented source code; for releases earlier than 1.1 the file xint.pdf already contained the commented source code. Building these targets requires latexmk.
  3. For more options, check the corresponding section in README.md.
