-Although Octave is not very difficult to build from its sources, it is a
-relatively large program that does require a significant amount of time
-and disk space to compile and install.  Because of this, many people
-want to be able to obtain binary distributions so they can start using
-Octave immediately, without having to bother with the details of
-compiling it first.  This is understandable, so I try to maintain a
-current collection of binary distributions at
-@url{ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/BINARIES}.
-
-Please understand, however, that there is only a limited amount of time
-available to devote to making binaries, so binaries may not be
-immediately available for some platforms.  (Please contact
-@email{bug-octave@@bevo.che.wisc.edu} if you are interested in helping
-make a binary distribution available for your system.)

-
-To install Octave from a binary distribution, execute the command
-
-@example
-sh ./install-octave
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-in the top level directory of the distribution.
-
-Binary distributions are normally compiled assuming that Octave will be
-installed in the following subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}.
-
-@table @file
-@item bin
-Octave and other binaries that people will want to run directly.
-
-@item lib
-Shared libraries that Octave needs in order to run.  These files are
-not included if you are installing a statically linked version of
-Octave.
-
-@item man/man1
-Unix-style man pages describing Octave.
-
-@item info
-Info files describing Octave.
-
-@item share/octave/@var{version}/m
-Function files distributed with Octave.  This includes the Octave
-version, so that multiple versions of Octave may be installed at the
-same time.
-
-@item libexec/octave/@var{version}/exec/@var{arch}
-Executables to be run by Octave rather than the user.
-
-@item libexec/octave/@var{version}/oct/@var{arch}
-Object files that will be dynamically loaded.
-
-@item share/octave/@var{version}/imagelib
-Image files that are distributed with Octave.
-@end table
-
-@noindent
-where @var{version} stands for the current version number of the
-interpreter, and @var{arch} is the type of computer on which Octave
-is installed (for example, @samp{@value{TARGETHOSTTYPE}}).
-
-If these directories don't exist, the script @code{install-octave} will
-create them for you.  The installation script also creates the following
-subdirectories of @file{/usr/local} that are intended for locally
-installed functions:
-
-@table @file
-@item share/octave/site/m
-Locally installed M-files.
-
-@item libexec/octave/site/exec/@var{arch}
-Locally installed binaries intended to be run by Octave rather than by
-the user.
-
-@item libexec/octave/site/octave/@var{arch}
-Local object files that will be dynamically linked.
-@end table
-
-If it is not possible for you to install Octave in @file{/usr/local}, or
-if you would prefer to install it in a different directory, you can
-specify the name of the top level directory as an argument to the
-@file{install-octave} script.  For example:
-
-@example
-sh ./install-octave /some/other/directory
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will install Octave in subdirectories of the directory
-@file{/some/other/directory}.

-@node Creating a Binary Distribution,  , Installing Octave from a Binary Distribution, Binary Distributions

-Here is how to build a binary distribution for others to use.  If you
-want to make a binary distribution for your system available along with
-the Octave sources and binaries on @url{ftp.che.wisc.edu}, please follow
-this procedure.  For directions explaining how to make the binary
-available on the ftp site, please contact
-@email{bug-octave@@bevo.che.wisc.edu}.

-Unpack the source distribution:

-@item
-Change your current directory to the top-level directory of the source
-distribution:

-@example
-cd octave-@value{VERSION}
-@end example
-

-Make the binary distribution:
-
-@example
-make binary-dist
-@end example
-
-This will create a compressed tar file ready for distribution.
