1) Latex2emf compilation instruction

To compile latex2emf you need to install libEMF !

After the installation of libEMF, edit the makefile in the OS subdir to fit with your system and run make.

2) Howto

• How does emf export work ?

Heumm, it is not really easy to make emf file from ps or pdf under a unix system. The way chosen in OOoLatex uses ps2ascii.ps to create a file containing the description of the file content in terms of the ascii characters and lines. After that, latex2emf converts the ascii file into an emf one using libEMF.

• To compile libEMF on OSX, you need to set the variables CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to "-D__PPC__" before running the configure script:

        root export CFLAGS=-D__PPC__
        root export CXXFLAGS=-D__PPC__
        root ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
        root make
        root# make install
