Make sure you have Java software (v.1.4 or later) installed.

If you're unsure whether you have 32- or 64-bit Java, open a command prompt and run the command, "java -version".


Optional: Compilation

Note that compilation is simple but not usually necessary. The Java binaries run the same on most platforms.

As of v.1.1, binaries can be built in one step by running the script, "build.sh", from any bash prompt (eg Terminal in Linux, or Cygwin in Windows). Once built, the program can be launched by running, "run.sh".

For v.0.9.2 through v.1.0, supported tXtFL compilation has been simplified to Java binary building. The dependencies package is no longer necessary.

  1. Configure. Download and unpack the source package ("src"). From the source directory, run the configure script ("sh configure"). Extra parameters can be set through the configure script (see "sh configure --help" for more details).
  2. Make. "make java" builds the Java-based tXtFL. "make install" installs them in the location specified by "--prefix=install/path" during configure time.
