How to install eFrench under Linux june 6th 2012, for eFrench, RayJ ---------------------------------- This eFrench installation has been tested with TeXLive but should be valid for all Linux systems. This distribution abides by the LPPL copyright. Installation instructions ========================= Put the french directory (and if necessary also the msg directory) in place beeing accessible by the \input command. Under TeXLive, for example here (~ is the user's directory) ~/texmf/tex or here ~/texmf/tex/plain (or in the system TDS under tex/plain) This way to do has been sucessfully tested under Ubuntu (9 to 11) Notice ------ If for any reason french.sty after installation announces that msg.sty or msg-msg.tex is missing, then read the directives from Probl_Msg.txt, here in the install directory. PS : 1. Messages are ANSI coded (latin9) 2. The language.dat file must define french as a language, it's generally the case 3. For frenchle users a conflict can arise with the default frenchle (installed for example under /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/frenchle) A solution is to suppress that directory with its whole content. (followed by $sudo texhash) Another (easier) is to use french.sty instead of frenchle.sty Documentation ============= The user's manuals efrench.pdf and frenchle.pdf are in french. Frenchle.pdf is included because it is also valid for efrench as a good introduction to it's possibilities. And frenchle is now a part of e-french. -- rayj for the eFrench group, all questions to be sent to Laurent Bloch (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/frenchle/frenchle.cfg)
