Hi,
I am using plplot (thanks for the great library) and I get it to
install on OS X Tiger 10.4.11 intel, with fink (fink provides 5.8.0),
and pdl recognized plplot.
I also could compile, with the dependencies given by fink.
Here is how it goes for me, without many options:
from your plplot source dir
$ cd ..
$ mkdir plbuild && cd plbuild
$ export FC = gfortran
$ cmake ../plplot-5.9.0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt -DENABLE_pdl=ON -
DENABLE_f95=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/sw/bin/gcc-4 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/
sw/bin/g++-4 -DENABLE_java=OFF -DENABLE_octave=OFF -DENABLE_pygcw=OFF
-DENABLE_gnome2=OFF -DPLD_wxwidgets=OFF -DPLD_aqt=OFF -DENABLE_tk=OFF
-DENABLE_tcl=OFF
$ make
$ sudo make install
Sadly, the pkg-config file does not find the libraries under /sw/lib
as it is not the prefix for plplot. You need to add -L/sw/lib to the
Libs line of /opt/lib/pkgconfig/plplotd.pc and others as well I suppose.
More options :
If you need Aquaterm and freetype :
$ cmake ../plplot-5.9.0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt -DENABLE_pdl=ON -
DENABLE_f95=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/sw/bin/gcc-4 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/
sw/bin/g++-4 -DENABLE_java=OFF -DENABLE_octave=OFF -DENABLE_pygcw=OFF
-DENABLE_gnome2=OFF -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/sw/lib/freetype219/
include -DPL_FREETYPE_FONT_PATH=/usr/local/share/fonts/TTF -
DENABLE_wxwidgets=OFF
I explicitly disabled many drivers to avoid possible trouble. I
needed to point to fink compilers (gcc-4 and g++-4, and export FC =
gfortran).
I needed to give the path to the freetype include dir, which was
badly located on my system, but you need the "freetype" directory (of
freetype 2!) to be included directly in "/sw/lib/freetype219/include"
and not further.
Last but not least, if you want Aquaterm to work you need to modify
two lines in the plplot-5.9.0/cmake/modules/aqt.cmake before issuing
the previous commands
The result is
SET(aqt_COMPILE_FLAGS "-x objective-c -I/sw/include")
SET(aqt_LINK_FLAGS "-F/sw/Library/Frameworks -
framework AquaTerm -framework Foundation")
instead of
SET(aqt_COMPILE_FLAGS "-ObjC")
SET(aqt_LINK_FLAGS "-framework AquaTerm -framework
Foundation")
then it compiles :
$ make
$ sudo make install
If you recompile pdl, as /opt/lib is in the search path for plplot,
it will use it for pdl (tested, see http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/
~pdebuyl/use_of_pdl_plplot.png , the upper window is aquaterm, the
lower is x11)
I have trouble with the aqua tk driver however, which I did not
intend to use...
Good luck
