xfig/transfig

xfig: An interactive drawing tool which runs under X.
transfig: Figures translator (for xfig).

Compilation

Note that png V1.5.x onwards has changed in an incompatible manner (hidden png_struct access). For xfig/transfig one is stuck at V1.2.x, unless the xfig/transfig code is adapted.

xfig V3.2.4/3.2.5

Proceed as described in the README file. Prerequisites / modifications:

V3.2.5 uses various features of the C99 standard (complex data type, lrint). If the OS/compiler does not support these (AIX <=5.1) and if they can't be easily emulated, revert to V3.2.4.
To catch certain race conditions, w_intersect.c uses (superfluously, IMHO) the complex datatype, available only in C99 standard. I have replaced/ifdef'd the respective section with mathematically equivalent code (no warranty, of course), and introduced
```
XCOMM If your system doesn't have complex data type uncomment the following definition
HAVE_NO_COMPLEX = -DHAVE_NO_COMPLEX
```
in the Imakefile.
In addition, an
```
 
#include <alloca.h>
```
is missing.

In w_keyboard.c some definitions are missing:

#ifndef REG_NOERROR
#define REG_NOERROR 0
#endif

Adapt the Imakefile:

Nonstandard (non-root) installation directory: add / change at the appropriate locations

MKDIRHIER = /bin/sh /opt/imake/bin/mkdirhier # a nonstandard location
DESTDIR=/tmp/xfig-3.2.5/
BINDIR=bin
LIBDIR=lib/X11

XFIGLIBDIR = $(LIBDIR)/xfig
XFIGDOCDIR = doc

MANDIR=man/mann

If XAW3D is desired, specify location of headers and library, e.g.:

#define XAW3D
#   ifdef XAW3D
   DUSEXAW3D = -DXAW3D -I/nfs/local/1100/include/
   XAWLIB = -L/nfs/local/1100/lib -lXaw3d
#   endif /* XAW3D */

Adapt non-standard header and library locations for PNG and zlib, e.g.:

PNGINC = -I/nfs/local/1100/include
PNGLIBDIR = /nfs/local/1100/lib
ZLIBDIR = /nfs/local/1100/lib

Adapt header and library locations for JPEG, if desired, e.g.:

#define USEINSTALLEDJPEG

#ifdef USEJPEG
#ifdef USEINSTALLEDJPEG
JPEGLIBDIR = /nfs/local/1100/lib
JPEGINC = -I/nfs/local/1100/include

Adapt header and library locations for XPM, if desired, e.g.:

#define USEXPM
 
XPMLIBDIR = /nfs/local/1100/lib
XPMINC = -I/nfs/local/1100/include

Remove the rule
```
xfig.man: Doc/xfig.man
	$(LN) Doc/xfig.man xfig.man
```
it appears to be superfluous and causes make install.all to fail.

Then run

xmkmf                             
make clean
make
# or
make -f Makefile.noimake Makefile # if xmkmf not avail, needs imake from ftp.x.org.

make install
make install.all

transfig (V3.2.4/V3.2.5)

Proceed as described in the README file. Prerequisites / modifications:

Nonstandard (non-root) installation directory, in all Imakefiles add / change (may use nedit `find ./ -name Imakefile` &) at the appropriate locations

MKDIRHIER = /bin/sh /opt/imake/bin/mkdirhier # or wherever mkdirhier resides
DESTDIR=/tmp/xfig-3.2.5/                     # transfig may go into the same location as xfig 
BINDIR=bin

In transfig/Imakefile add / change at the appropriate locations
```
MANDIR=man/mann

USELATEX2E = -DLATEX2E
```
In fig2dev/Imakefile add / change at the appropriate locations
```
MANDIR=man/mann

XFIGLIBDIR = lib/X11/xfig
XFIGDOCDIR = doc
FIG2DEV_LIBDIR = lib/fig2dev
```
and add the locations for PNG, ZLIB and XPM, as for xfig.
In version 3.2.4 fix the line to include the PNG reference:
```
DEVDEFINES = $(DUSEPNG) $(DUSEXPM) $(PNGINC) $(XPMINC) $(DDNFSS) $(DDA4) \
```
In fig2dev/dev/Imakefile add / change at the appropriate locations
```
FIG2DEV_LIBDIR = lib/fig2dev
```

Then run

xmkmf                             
make Makefiles
make clean
make
make install      
make install.man # ignore messages

On HP-UX 10.20 with native cc some minor adaptions of source text might be necessary.

Installation/Configuration

Assume an installation directory DST=/nfs/local/1100/.
Then define the environment variable

export FIG2DEV_LIBDIR=$DST/lib/fig2dev

and, for support of composite keys, insert in the appropriate $DST/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fig file:

Fig*keyFile: $DST/lib/X11/xfig/CompKeyDB
