- 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.
