Modify the xfig.info file in the following simple way: In the

make xfig CCOPTIONS=-no-cpp-precomp PREFIX=%p
remove the word "xfig", so that it reads

The modification to the xfig.info file works. I would suppose that
the same modification should be made to the xfig323.info file (which
would also not update for me).
For the record I should perhaps explain why this works (since I don't
have xfree86-4.5.0, I wanted to wait and see if it really works ;-) ):
Removing "xfig" in the above line is the same as making "all", and the
"all" target has a dependency on xfig.1.html, so that the latter gets
made, too. The same effect would be obtained by adding the target
"xfig.1.html" instead of removing the "xfig" target.
This is already done in xfig323 (always was, even in the very first
versions from 4 years ago
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/packages/dists/unstable/
main/finkinfo/graphics/Attic/xfig-3.2.3d-2.info?annotate=1.2>), so I
am not quite sure why xfig323 doesn't build for you. Perhaps a
slightly different breakage?
In xfree86 CVS one finds the following change to the file
xc/config/cf/Imake.rules, diff from 3.131 to 3.132 tagged xf_4_4_99_2,
2004/03/25:
38. Remove dependencies from install targets so that from-tree
installations
can be done without attempting to rebuild anything (David
Dawes, based on
a patch and report from Lee Olsen).
<http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/config/cf/Imake.rules>
Thus, starting with xfree86-4.4.99.2, they removed the xfig.1.html
dependency from the "install.man" target, and for all xmkmf builds
"make install" will break if "make all" wasn't done before.

Thank you for the explanation. I understand some of it <g>.
I honestly don't remember (and don't have a record) of what happened
with xfig323. As you say, there was likely some other problem involved.
For the record, I previously reported problems compiling
gst-plugins-0.8.10-1. The package, which required xfig, now compiles.
Regards,
Stan
