Installing Info Files

Start MSYS using the shortcut on the Windows desktop or All Programs menu. You’ll have to exit MSYS at the end of this procedure.

cd /mingw/info
for file in *.info; do install-info $file dir; done
echo export INFOPATH=/mingw/info >> ~/.profile
exit


Note: The info pages will be made available after you exit and restart MSYS.
