INTRO
FIGlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text. It's kinda old-school ascii art. get the source from here
BACKGROUND PREP
The man page recommends installing to /usr/games but I'm installing to /usr/local/src. Read man hier for a description of the file system hierarchy.
INSTALLATION
as root
mv figlet222-foo.tar.gz /usr/local/src cd /usr/local/src tar -zxvvvf figlet222-foo.tar.gz chown -vR jayeola.jayeola figlet222
replace jayeola with your regular user
chmod 664 Makefile
You won't be able to edit Makefile unless you do this. Use your editor of choice to specify the path to the fonts that figlet will use. For me all I had to to was to change the file to make it look like this:-
DEFAULTFONTDIR = /usr/local/share/figlet
# Use this definition if you can't put things in /usr/local/share/figlet #DEFAULTFONTDIR = fonts
That was all I needed to get figlet going
make && make install
USE
Get a brief summary of figlet's use with
figlet -h
the output looks like
Usage: figlet [ -cklnoprstvxDELNRSWX ] [ -d fontdirectory ]
[ -f fontfile ] [ -m smushmode ] [ -w outputwidth ]
[ -C controlfile ] [ -I infocode ] [ message ]
