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.
