General compiling instructions

• Ensure that a C++ compiler, libjpeg, libtiff, libpng, and optionally libXbae are present on your system (run ldconfig if necessary).
• Type ./configure This creates the file config.h appropriate for your system. Do not skip this step. The file config.h.example is provided in case configure doesn't work for some reason, and is not normally needed for compilation.
• To disable the Freetype anti-aliased fonts, type ./configure -disable-xft. Freetype has many problems because of things that happened during its development. The current state of freetype/truetype fonts in Linux is still primitive. Because of this, freetype fonts were made an optional feature. See below for details on installing freetype.
• Type make. If a previous version exists, type make clean first.
• Type make install(as root).
• Check the contents of

               $HOME/.tnimage/scanners
               $HOME/.tnimage/plugins
               $HOME/.tnimage/cameras
  

  and edit if necessary to indicate the paths of your scanner drivers, plugins, and camera drivers, respectively.

For most systems, this is all that is necessary.

Important: Do not run flex or lex on calculator.l unless you wish to make changes in the math parsing algorithm. Running flex will overwrite the file lex.yy.c . If this happens, it will be necessary to manually edit lex.yy.c. See the top of calculator.y for instructions.
