Short summary
-------------
./configure && make && make install
# Optionally: make check, make installcheck
Requirements
------------
Compilation: C header files, optionally libz and libpng header files.
Run-time: Optionally ghostscript (for any bitmap output) and
optionally one out of netpbm | ImageMagick | Graphicsmagick
program packages (to embed various image formats).
Installation under Windows
--------------------------
For compilation under Windows, a rudimentary Makefile is provided in the
fig2dev subdirectory. From the commandline, navigate to this subdirectory,
and issue the command
name /f Nmakefile
For installation, you would manually have to copy the folder i18n/ to the
location given in the Nmakefile. Chances are good that fig2dev works to
your satisfaction also without these files.
Requirements
------------
At run-time, fig2dev needs ghostscript to convert fig-files to pdf, and
ghostscript and one out of the netpbm package, ImageMagick, or
GraphicsMagick, to convert to any bitmap file.
Installation under Unix, Linux, Darwin (MacOS)
----------------------------------------------
To compile and install fig2dev, issue the commands
./configure && make && make install
where "make install" must be given as root.
When compiling from the development sources, do
autoreconf -i
before giving the three commands above.
Optionally,
./configure; make; make check; make install; make installcheck
will run tests (make check) with the freshly built executable still at
its location in the build tree, and (make installcheck) with the
executable installed in its final location.
The commands above will compile fig2dev and copy the executables fig2dev,
fig2ps2tex and pic2tpic to /usr/local/bin. Three man-pages for these
binaries are put into /usr/local/man/man1. Furthermore, files which may
be needed at runtime are put under /usr/local/share/fig2dev. These are
internationalization files, which may be used by the PostScript and all
bitmap output languages. They are stored under
/usr/local/share/fig2dev/i18n.
Requirements
------------
Minimum requirement are the C library header files. On debian, these are
contained in the
libc6-dev, linux-libc-dev
packages. For rpm-based distributions, these packages have the string
"-devel-" in their name.
Optionally, to compress output to Postscript when embedding images in
fig files, the zlib header files are needed,
zlib1g-dev (zlib-devel for rpm).
To write fig files with embedded png images to PostScript, pdf or any
bitmap format, install
libpng-dev.
To run fig2dev, the packages
ghostscript, and one out of
netpbm | ImageMagick | GraphicsMagick
are needed to produce various bitmap output formats, or process fig files
with embedded images.
Darwin (MacOS)
--------------
Under Darwin, necessary libraries and header files are often installed
in non-standard locations. These locations must be given in the LDFLAGS
and CPPFLAGS variables. For instance, with packages installed from
macports, try
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
or with packages from fink, try
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include
Options
-------
The configure script and also the make-command can be customized in
many ways, either by giving options, e.g., ./configure --prefix=/usr,
or by setting variables, e.g., make CC=clang or ./configure CFLAGS=-O2.
Options relevant for fig2dev are, here given with their default
settings, are
--prefix=/usr/local
--bindir=${prefix}/bin
--datarootdir=${prefix}/share
--mandir=${prefix}/man
Compilation flags are typically
CC=gcc CFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBS='-lpng -lz -lm'
To check where files will be installed, after "./configure && make" try
make DESTDIR=/tmp/fig2dev install
This will move the intallation location to /tmp/fig2dev. The file tree under
/tmp/fig2dev then shows where files would be installed by "make install",
ls -R /tmp/fig2dev or tree /tmp/fig2dev
To get a list of possible features to enable or disable, type
./configure --help
and see the "Optional Features" and "Optional Packages" sections.
