Latex2Html on cygwin

This page gives simple instructions for getting the nice tool
Latex2Html up and running on a cygwin system.
  1. Get the latest beta version of latex2html
  2. Be sure your cygwin has perl
  3. Get the netpbm programs for cygwin (search on google)
  4. Make sure the netpbm tools are in your path.
  5. Untar latex2html
  6. In the latex2html directory there is a file called L2hos.pm
  7. Edit this file by replacing $^O with 'unix'
  8. run ./configure
  9. You should me all set. Just do a make and make install
  10. While running latex2html explicitly specify a tmp directory
  11. With MikTeX included figures won't be processed correctly
I tried this out on a MikTeX distribution. I guess with the teTeX distribution we won't need to edit prefs.pm
Good Luck
