Hi David,
I do not know how the libraries are distributed in Ubuntu, but if only the
shared versions are distributed, that will be a very deliberate choice of the
distributors. Even though the shared libraries get exercised more, you should
be able to build them yourself.
As for the difference between the F77 and F95 bindings:
- First of all, inserting a “use plplot” statement will allow the
compiler to “see” the interface definitions.
- This is necessary for it to insert the right internal names of the
routines (otherwise the linker will complain)
- But more importantly, the compiler will be able to check the argument
lists of the routines. Arguments that have changed between F77 and F95 are
things like the number of elements in an array. In F95 introspection is
possible and that avoids many mistakes. It does mean some incompatibility
unfortunately.
Regards,
Arjen

Hi David,
I also liked the fortran77 bindings. For the F95 bindings, I have posted an
example on my web page :

hope it helps (notice lines 2, 42-51) !
Best

Hi,
How do I compile Fortran77 programs against PLPlot now that the Fortran77
libraries have finally been removed from libplplot-dev (I'm on Ubuntu, so this
is a Debian style package)? On my system I also see that there now is a
libplplot-fortran11 package whose description says:
This package contains the Fortran 77 and Fortran 95 bindings for
PLplot. Note: the Fortran 77 bindings have been deprecated in the latest
version of PLplot, and will be dropped from a future release. New code
should use the Fortran 95 bindings.
But, within it there are only shared-object libraries and no longer any static
libraries, which were very convenient. Further, where are the actually
Fortran77 libraries? The .so files here all are labelled with f95, and they
seem to contain Fortran95 style symbols and don't contain Fortran77 symbols.
Have the Fortran77 libraries actually been completely purged?
Thanks!
Best,
David
