Description
As the new maintainer of xfig and transfig, please note that the upstream locations of the xfig and fig2dev, formerly transfig, software packages are now
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/files/xfig-3.2.6.tar.xz
and
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/files/fig2dev-3.2.6.tar.xz
respectively.
The transfig-package has been renamed to fig2dev, because this is really what it is. In fact, the transfig-program itself is considered obsolete, therefore it has to be specifically built with the configure-switch --enable-transfig.
Build and installation can now be done with
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking for fig2dev
and
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --with-appdefaultdir=/opt/X11/share/X11/app-defaults for xfig.
Then, do make -j; make install-strip Optionally, make check and make installcheck are both supported.
Please, report success on building or any difficulties you might encounter.
Yours,
Thomas Loimer
