INSTALL for MetaPost on fptex
========================

This distribution is a very stripped-down TeX Live distribution, and 
the executables have been built from the sources using the MSYS
Unix emulation layer.

A side-effect of this is that you need a functional web2c-tex 
distribution (like fptex) as a prerequisite.  Our current executables 
will not work with MiKTeX, sorry. 

There are binaries in the `bin' folder, these should replace the
similar ones in your fptex installation. Likewise, the files in `texmf'
should also replace their existing counterparts.

If the mpost.exe fails with `cannot find mp.pool', you have to make the
environment variable TEXMFCNF point to the correct texmf.cnf. 

Do not forget to regenerate any .mem files in your TeX installation.

The manual sources are included in the directory manual, these do not
need to be installed.  PDFs are available at:
