f95 certainly builds and tests (using "make test_noninteractive" and
"make test_interactive") without changes on Linux for me and others
(see test results posted at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Testing_PLplot#Testing_Reports),
and there have been several anecedotal reports of PLplot-5.9.6 build
and test success (not clear whether f95 was involved or not) from our
developers with access to Mac OS X. Also, you will find with your
patched version that "make test_noninteractive" will fail because
those tests include tests of the functionality that you have removed
for your build workaround. So clearly, there is a non-trivial issue
you have discovered here.
To help figure out the solution, our developers with access to Mac OS
X will need more information from you. Please send in a full bug
report to our bug tracker including description of C and Fortran
compilers you were using, description of Mac OS X version, cmake
options, cmake output, and "make VERBOSE=1" output _for our svn trunk
version_. That trunk version is little changed as yet from 5.9.6, but
that is the version we work with every day, and the version we will
change (assuming we can find the source of this issue) so that your
macports build including all PLplot functionality will work properly.
