[PATCH 0/4] imake, xfig, and transfig packages

[Federico Beffa]

Hi,

I've installed xfig, my preferred drawing utility :-). Unfortunately
I've found that it can't find the configuration file "Fig". Without
that I get a flat look and no bindkeys. This can be fixed, e.g., by
defining the following environment variable:

XAPPLRESDIR=/gnu/store/ypqjij3snf40hcrdg5ffnh8vrkqmmpfk-xfig-3.2.5c/etc/X11/app-defaults
/gnu/store/ypqjij3snf40hcrdg5ffnh8vrkqmmpfk-xfig-3.2.5c/bin/xfig

Not sure if there is a way to fix this through the Imakefile.  If not
maybe we could add a wrapper?

Thanks!
Regards,
Fede

Thanks for the feedback. I dont use xfig often, so it's nice to hear from
someone who does.  I'll take a look at this.

Patches that follow add packages for xfig, transfig, and imake.  I've
heard that some people use these tools. ;)
