Yes, please! Also, please state the revision number ("svn update" gives you
that automatically). Note, I request this complete form of bug report every
time there is some issue for an excellent reason; the PLplot build is highly
interdependent so that some innocuous clue for some entirely different part
of the cmake.out or make.out files may be the one that finally helps to
solve the issue.
Also, the cmake command-line option -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON (for a fresh
build in an empty build tree) should be used for every complete bug report.
This option fills make.out with essential information that is missing if you
don't use that option.. Because you didn't have this option above, it may
have given you the incorrect impression that make.out would not be that
useful in a complete bug report.
This issue of making a complete and useful bug report comes up so often on
this list and plplot-general, I probably should put it in the wiki for our
users who are going to report bugs. But I hope making such complete bug
reports becomes instinctive for the developers on this list for the reasons
I expressed above. The compressed form of attachment for cmake.out and
make.out chews up relatively little bandwidth so there is no real reason
to drop this essential information.
Arjen, for this specific bug, you can reduce the build times a lot more and
reduce dependencies (while still showing the bug) by using the
cmake command-line options
-DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_ps=ON
I look forward to your complete report on this bug (assuming it still
exists for the latest version of PLplot) using those options.
