+HOWTO for building books for printing
+-------------------------------------
+
+Note: Books are also built automatically by a daily build script.
+ That is the only safe way to build books.
+
+Note: Manual handling of dependency files has been removed.
+
+1. To build a book, ug say, in pdf format with a frame, be sure
+ to have a clean view, and run
+
+ i) clearmake -V clean
+ ii) clearmake -V depend
+ iii) clearmake -V ug.frame.pdf
+
+ You can build the following variants: ug.ps, ug.pdf, ug.frame.ps,
+ ug.frame.pdf, ug.crop.ps, and ug.crop.pdf.
+
+ To build all frame.pdf and crop.pdf books replace iii) by
+
+ iii) clearmake -V release_books TESTROOT=/some/dest/dir
+
+ and you will get all books in /some/dest/dir.
+
+2. To change the contents of a book you have to:
+
+ i) Edit the sgml book file, e.g. ug.sgml.
+
+ ii) Do the corresponding changes in the Makefile (if needed).
