***************************************************************** * INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR THE COQ V8 SYSTEM UNDER WINDOWS OS * ***************************************************************** The binary distribution consists in a .zip archive file. This .zip contains long filenames and cannot therefore be unpacked with pkunzip version 2. Use either Winzip (shareware) or the Windows version of unzip (freeware): http://www.winzip.com/ http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/ Unzipping the distribution creates (among others) the following directories and files: coq\bin\ The command-line tools coq\lib\ The standard library files coq\emacs A Coq mode for your Emacs coq\man\man1 The man pages for the command-line tools There are two cases to consider : 1. You unzip in the root of your drive (say C): =============================================== Hence Coq will be installed in C:\coq You must add the C:\coq\bin path to your environment variable PATH. This is done by adding the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\coq\bin You may also want to specify where Coq has to look for your configuration file .coqrc (not mandatory), e.g.: set HOME=C:\My_Documents\Coq 2. You unzip in some other place (say D:\My_Dir): ================================================= You must add the D:\My_Dir\coq\bin path to your environment variable PATH. This is done by adding the following line to AUTOEXEC.BAT: set PATH=%PATH%;D:\My_Dir\coq\bin You must also set the environment variables COQBIN and COQLIB to tell Coq that binaries and libraries are not in the default place. This is done by adding the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: set COQBIN=D:\My_Dir\coq\bin set COQLIB=D:\My_Dir\coq\lib You may also want to specify where Coq has to look for your configuration file .coqrc (not mandatory), e.g.: set HOME=C:\My_Documents\Coq PROBLEMS: ========= If you have any trouble with this installation, please contact: coq-bugs@pauillac.inria.fr.
