      <!-- LaTeX for the system, but just latex for the command -->
      <application>Xindy</application> is an index processor that can be used
      to generate book-like indexes for arbitrary document-preparation systems.
      This includes systems such as TeX and LaTeX, the roff-family, and
      SGML/XML-based systems (e.g., HTML) that process some kind of text and
      generate indexing information.

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para>
      <command>sed -i "s/ grep -v '^;'/ awk NF/" ...</command>: The build
      sorts files in latin{1..3} encodings to create latin.xdy, and unicode
      versions of these to create utf8.xdy after using
      <command>grep -v '^;'</command> to remove blank lines. With
      <application>grep-2.23</application> any data not in the expected
      encoding is treated as binary, resulting in a useless file. This
      command uses an alternative way of removing blank lines.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>sed -i 's%\(indexentry\)%\1\\%' ...</command>: A regexp
      contains <literal>indexentry{</literal> - perl has warned about the
      unescaped left brace for some time and now treats it as illegal.
      Change it to <literal>indexentry\{</literal>, doubling the backslash
      for <command>sed</command>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>patch -Np1 -i ../xindy-&xindy-version;-upstream_fixes-2.patch</command>:
      <application>Xindy</application> is now maintained at CTAN. This patch
      updates the source with some of the changes made there (but ignoring
      changes which were only made to allow for spaces in pathnames and some trivial
      recent changes).
    </para>

    <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
     href="../../xincludes/tex-prefix.xml"/>

    <para>
      <parameter>--includedir=/usr/include</parameter>:
      This parameter ensures that the <filename>kpathsea</filename>
      headers from <xref linkend="texlive"/> will be found.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>make LC_ALL=POSIX</command>: with the current version of
      <application>coreutils</application> it is essential to build
      <application>xindy</application> in the POSIX (or C) locale because in a
      UTF-8 locale the file <filename>latin.xdy</filename> will contain only a
      heading and then a line '<literal>Binary file (standard input)
      matches</literal>' instead of the many lines of
      <application>lisp</application> merge-rule commands it ought to contain.
