Hi Andrew: Following Geoffrey's recent advice to test our software for standards compliancy, I tried the following:
export CFLAGS='-O3 -fvisibility=hidden -std=c99 -pedantic' export 'CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fvisibility=hidden -std=c++98 -pedantic' export FFLAGS='-O3' cmake -DENABLE_java=OFF ... make test_noninteractive The results for that test without java had no obvious errors, but there were lots of warning messages during the compilation about our code not being compliant with standards. That is a big concern so I hope you will take a look at these warning messages to see what can be done. Also, if I enable java, then starting with a fresh build and compiling with the above CFLAGS values generates a segfault on the first java example with either the test_noninteractive or test_java_psc targets. Could you also take a look at that related issue? If I try the java build with the above CXXFLAGS and FFLAGS, but with export CFLAGS='-O3 -fvisibility=hidden' then there are no obvious errors or build warnings with the test_java_psc or test_noninteractive targets. If my remaining tests using the above CXXFLAGS and FFLAGS, and export CFLAGS='-O3 -fvisibility=hidden' work okay on Linux, and other Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux tests look okay, then I anticipate that we will be able to go ahead with a quick release of 5.9.9 from PLplot svn trunk this weekend to deal with the Windows broken build issues for 5.9.8 in a timely manner. So we should not do anything about the -std=c99 situation before that quick release, but after that I think it is important to bring our code into compliance with the c99 standard.
