*****************************************************************
* 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
