3.2 Configuring the source and rebuilding

texi2html is a standard Automake-based distribution. If you have a source version, you should run ./configure to configure the sources and make to build the script.

./configure accepts options to select the installation directory for the ‘texi2html’ file, the default directories texi2html will use to look for configuration files, and other details. Run ./configure --help for more information. Running ./configure creates ‘texi2html_configured.pl’ from ‘texi2html.pl’, and also builds the make configuration files (‘Makefile’s).

Running make combines five files into the final ‘texi2html’ program file:

• ‘texi2html_configured.pl’ contains the base program,
• ‘MySimple.pm’ handles the command line options,
• ‘texi2html.init’ is the default configuration file, and
• ‘T2h_i18n.pm’ is used for internationalization.
• ‘translations.pl’ contains the translations of the strings used in documents.

Running make also rebuilds the documentation if needed.
