In order to run make successfully, the build system must meet the following criteria:
- GNU make must be installed in the path.
- A C++-11-capable compiler (such as g++-4.8 or later) must be installed in the path. (Or accessible by way of something like 'CXX=g++-4.8 make'.)
- Transfig must be installed in the path.
- This might be bundled with XFig in the operating system's package system.
- Otherwise, look here: http://xfig.org/userman/installation.html
- pdflatex must be installed in the path.
