Note, that the name of the package transfig has been changed to > fig2dev. Users would not immediately know that the fig2dev program, which is in > most cases necessary when working with xfig, is contained in the transfig > package. Also, the transfig program itself is considered obsolete. It only > builds when enabled with the configure switch --enable-transfig. > > The build process for xfig and fig2dev has been changed from imake to > ./configure; make; make install > or, with some ornaments > ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking > make -j; make check; make install-strip; make installcheck > I believe, there are no special flags necessary for building on cygwin. However, > for xfig you might want to check the --with-appdefaultdir, --with-icondir and > --with-applicationsdir options. > > Changes to the previous version were mainly made in porting the code to autoconf > from the imake file. However, fig2dev now exports to tikz and pict2e, for use > with latex. Also, several bug fixes have been made. > > Please report how compilation under cygwin fares. Can somebody make me maintainer for the fig2dev package so that I can work on these ? Thanks Volker
