| To make troff (actually a.out): |
| |
| make |
| |
| You will also need to write a driver for your favorite output device. |
| d202.c provides a model, although it is specialized to a machine no |
| one has. There are also a variety of postscript drivers that are the |
| best thing to use if you have a postscript device. |
| |
| You will also have to make a DESC file for your typesetter and some |
| font description files; see dev202 for examples. These describe the |
| named characters, widths, kerning information, and output codes. |
| |
| Nroff is the same program as troff, so you should |
| |
| cp a.out /usr/bin/troff |
| ln /usr/bin/troff /usr/bin/nroff |
| |
| or the equivalent. |
| |
| You will also need terminal description files for your terminals; see |
| tab.37, tab.450 and tab.lp for examples. |
| |
| Troff uses files that are normally stored in /usr/lib/font; |
| macro packages are in /usr/lib/tmac; and nroff tables are in |
| /usr/lib/term. You can edit tdef.h to change these assumptions. |
| |
| There have been a few features since the last version, and a number of |
| significant internal changes. Not all are improvements, of course. |
| Most of the more recent changes, including bug fixes, are in FIXES, |
| which you should read also. |
