Hi Andrew: I extended the test to 21 tests involving the shared, nondynamic, and static major configuration options. There was one memory management issue I discovered with qt_example which I worked around by permanently setting -DPLD_extqt=OFF for the case when dynamic devices are not enabled (i.e., the nondynamic and static cases). I don't know whether that is a regression or a memory management problem we have had for a long time with extqt for the case where the qt device driver is part of libplplotd rather than a separate shared object. After that fix, all was well. The only additional build type of warning I got was, e.g, comprehensive_test_disposeable/static/output_tree/installed_make_interactive.out:/home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/drivers/tk.c:1529: warning: the use of tmpnam' is dangerous, better use mkstemp' IIRC you have already attempted to eliminate as many of those as possible so I believe we are stuck with these remaining build warnings. All in all, I am pleased with the results of these 21 tests on my Debian squeeze platform. Note, I encourage others to run those same 21 tests on their own platforms. Here is how I did that here. software@raven> scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --prefix \ /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/comprehensive_test_disposeable \ --cmake_added_options "-DPLD_pdf=ON" Easy isn't it.... :-) Note, however, you will need a lot (!) of free disk space. software@raven> du -sh ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/ 35G ../comprehensive_test_disposeable/ ^^^ and if you don't use the -do_test_interactive no option for the above script, you will have to stick around for a couple of hours to click on various interactive tests near the end of each of the three shared, nondynamic, and static portions to allow those interactive tests to complete.
