The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions,
in the intlfonts/README file.
* elisp-manual-EMACSVERSION-MANVERSION.tar.gz
* elisp-manual-M.N.tar.gz
This is the Emacs Lisp Reference for programmers, containing an
in-depth discussion of Emacs Lisp and Emacs internals. The
distribution contains the Texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual. The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large. It contains
around 900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes. The package contains installation instructions of its own.
This distribution contains the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual which
complements the Emacs Lisp Manual. It is a good idea to install the
Emacs Lisp Reference Manual after installing Emacs, to complete the
on-line documentation of Emacs in Info.
If you have installed Texinfo, you can install the Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual this way:
cd elisp-manual-M.N
./configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR
make install
Otherwise, you can install it manually. Just copy the files elisp and
elisp-* from the elisp-manual-M.N directory to your site's info
directory (see the description of `infodir', below), and make sure
that file `dir' in this directory contains an entry like this:
* Elisp: (elisp). The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
