To make TransFig:

1. Edit fig2dev/Imakefile and fig2dev/dev/Imakefile to make any changes
	noted below
2. Do a "xmkmf" to create the top level Makefile from the Imakefile
3. Do a "make Makefiles"
4. Do a "make" to make the programs 
	**** This MUST be done before "make install" ****
5. Do a "make install" to install them in the system
6. Do a "make install.man" to put the manual pages in the proper directories

Set the following flags in fig2dev/dev/Imakefile for the described features:

Add -DNFSS to DEFINES list to use NFSS2 font selection for LaTeX texts
Add -DEPSF to DEFINES list to use epsfig macros as distributed w/ LaTeX2e

    Hint: Users of LaTeX2e will probably want to include both of these
    options; users of LaTeX 2.09 will probably want to include neither.

-DNOSTRSTR: define this if your system doesn't have strstr(3)

Uncomment the XPMDEFINES variable in fig2dev/Imakefile AND in
fig2dev/dev/Imakefile if you have the XPM (color pixmap) package and you would
like to allow XPM files (color pixmaps).  You need version 3.4c or newer of the
XPM package.
This is available from ftp.x.org in /contrib/libraries.

Uncomment the "DBMLIB = -ldbm" in fig2dev/Imakefile if your dbm routines are
in their own library.

Look in the Imakefiles to see if any options are relevant to your system.

General information:

TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
variety of environments.

The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics
description languages using the fig2dev program.  In previous releases,
this command was implemented as a shell script.

The fig2dev directory contains a general program for translating from
Fig code to other graphics desciption languages.  The dev subdirectory
contains a library of output drivers used by fig2dev.

Drivers currently exist for the following graphics langauges:
(E)EPIC macros, LaTeX picture environment, PIC, PiCTeX, PostScript, and TeXtyl.
Fig2dev can be configured with a subset of these drivers

The doc directory contains man pages for fig2dev and for the transfig command.
The subdirectory doc/manual contains a manual for using TransFig to create
documents with portable graphics.  The manual also contains a reference
guide describing Fig code in detail, and a description of TFX, an extension to
Fig code which is supported by the translators in this package.

PROBLEMS and POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pattern shading (e.g. bricks, shingles, etc.) only work for PostScript output.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solaris 2.x users:

You you must link with -lnsl because gethostname() is used.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP systems:

You may need to reduce optimization to +O2 instead of +O3.
