OS-X PLplot has, to my knowledge, all the features that it had in ABS, but that is perhaps too low of a bar? Anyway, I've added a page reflecting the current status to the wiki. Did anyone ever use PLplot with Tcl/Tk on OS-X? If so could you please let me know the versions, etc... > * configure and many other ABS-related files that are generated with > cf/bootstrap.sh.

(See > comment above about the primary goal of these development releases). I'm in the opposite camp on this one. I feel that ABS worked fine for most of what our users wanted from PLplot, i.e. a C/Fortran plotting library. Unless/until ABS rots to the point that it is no longer able to build the core libraries & drivers I don't see a good reason not to release with it. Sure the ABS files make it bigger for those who choose to use cmake, but since most platforms have ABS by default, it spares the end user the hassle of installing/learning what is not yet a standard configuration system. If they then decide that they want more features we can recommend that they install cmake & rebuild. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
