http://cs.nyu.edu/~yap/prog/xfig/how2xfig.html
It should be generating myfigure.eps and myfigure.tex
Before the update the Makefile was
#
# TransFig makefile
#
all: myfigure.tex
# translation into pstex
myfigure.tex: myfigure.eps Makefile
fig2dev -L pstex_t -p myfigure.eps -m 1.0 myfigure.fig myfigure.tex
clean::
rm -f myfigure.tex
myfigure.eps: myfigure.fig Makefile
fig2dev -L pstex -m 1.0 myfigure.fig myfigure.eps
clean::
rm -f cylGeodesic.eps
Please note the "all: myfigure.tex"
All the best and thanks again
Eduardo
