Ginfo is a versatile software tool that offers modular documentation capabilities.
One of the standout features of ginfo is the special editor for writing xml-ginfo modules. Additionally, there's a tool to convert xml-ginfo into C modules which can come in handy.
To get started with ginfo, the simplest way to compile the package is to follow these steps: First, CD to the directory containing the package's source code and type "./configure" to configure the package for your system. If you're using "csh" on an old version of System V, make sure to type "sh ./configure" instead. Running "configure" takes a bit of time, but it will print messages to let you know which features it is checking for. Then, type "make" to compile the package.
There's also the option to run self-tests with "make check" and to install the programs, data files, and documentation with "make install". Requirements for ginfo include glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, pango >= 1.0.0, libxml >= 2.0, gtksourceview >= 1.0, libgnomeprint >= 2.2, and libgnomeprintui >= 2.2.
