This is a cgi program that allows you to read the GNU .info files
|
|
installed on a machine with any web browser. Needs a running web
|
|
server (like apache, in /usr/ports/www). The quality of the html
|
|
isn't as good as that generated by the texi2html converter (in
|
|
/usr/ports/textproc) but the advantage of this one is that it
|
|
doesn't need access to the .texinfo files which are usually only
|
|
available in the original source archives of the installed programs
|
|
and not installed by default.
|
|
|
|
The port actually installs three cgis: gnuinfo, with the search
|
|
path preset to /usr/share/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/X11R6/info,
|
|
and gnuinfo.local as well as gnuinfo.X11R6, with just /usr/local/info
|
|
and /usr/X11R6/info, respectively. Use these to get at the toplevel
|
|
`dir' files for the other dirs, and to get at info pages for which
|
|
there are different versions with the same name in the different
|
|
directories, like the two gcc.info* you have when you installed
|
|
gcc 2.95.1 (/usr/ports/lang/egcs) in addition to the (less recent)
|
|
system compiler.
