INSTALLATION.
=============
- See the file INSTALL.win for installation procedure.
+ The windows distribution of Coq consists of an installer that should
+ perform all installation steps. CoqIde (a GTK interface to Coq) can
+ be installed. In case the GTK runtime libraries are not installed,
+ the Coq installer can be set to make a copy of those libraries
+ within the directory of Coq.
+ However, if the files are installed but Coq does not work properly,
+ some steps can be made manually.
+ Let us assume that the installation dir was c:\coq. The following
+ environment variables must be set as:
+ set COQBIN=c:\coq\bin
+ set COQLIB=c:\coq\lib
+ On win9x systems, this is achieved by inserting the 2 lines above
+ in the autoexec.bat file of the system. On other windows systems,
+ environment variables can be configured via the System application
+ of the Control Panel. Then select the Advanced tab.
+ The .bat files in c:\coq should now launch Coq (or CoqIde).
+ The COQBIN path can also be added to the PATH. This might be a
+ bad idea if the GTK libraries of Coq's installer were installed
+ since they might conflict with already installed GTK libraries.
