                    ==================================
                    MAKING THE TIX SOURCE DISTRIBUTION
                    ==================================

    This document describes how to make a source distribution package
    for Tix.

============
Requirements
============

[1] To make a Tix source distribution package, you should have access
    to the Tix CVS tree at http://tixlibrary.sourceforge.net. You
    should not attempt to create a new source package using an
    existing Tix source distribution such as tix8.2.0.tar.gz.

[2] Currently you need a Unix machine to make a Tix source
    distribution.

[3] You need a "zip" program for Unix.

============
Instructions
============

[1] Check out a *fresh* copy of the Tix repository. Do not use a
    source tree that you have worked on.

    Name this directory the way you like it to appear in the source
    distribution. E.g., "tix8.2.0"

        cvs -d:ext:ioilam@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tixlibrary \
            co -d tix8.2.0 tixlibrary

    tix8.2.0 should live in a directory where the tcl8.3.2 and tk8.3.2
    source directories also lives.

[2] Create the HTML man pages (you need GNU make)

        cd tix8.2.0/man
        make htmldoc

[2] Run this in the *parent directory* of the Tix source tree:

        tix8.2.0/tools/makedist.sh tix8.2.0 tix8.2.0b1

    This will create tix8.2.0b1.zip and tix8.2.0b1.tar.gz
