These are installed in Info format; DVI versions may be generated by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make dvi</span></samp>’, PDF versions by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make pdf</span></samp>’, and HTML versions by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make html</span></samp>’. In addition, some man pages are generated from the Texinfo manuals, there are some other text files with miscellaneous documentation, and runtime libraries have their own documentation outside the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> directory. FIXME: document the documentation for runtime libraries somewhere. <ul class="menu"> <li><a accesskey="1" href="Texinfo-Manuals.html#Texinfo-Manuals">Texinfo Manuals</a>: GCC manuals in Texinfo format. <li><a accesskey="2" href="Man-Page-Generation.html#Man-Page-Generation">Man Page Generation</a>: Generating man pages from Texinfo manuals. <li><a accesskey="3" href="Miscellaneous-Docs.html#Miscellaneous-Docs">Miscellaneous Docs</a>: Miscellaneous text files with documentation. </ul> </body></html>
