Re: [Plplot-general] compiling yplot on the SunOS

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Valerij:

yplot was designed exclusively for Linux, and that problem and several
others are caused because you are trying it on a non-Linux system.  Keeping
that cautionary statement in mind, at another user's request I made a number
of changes so it would work on solaris.  This work has not been officially
released, and this user chose not to give me feedback so it is in a state of
"works for me" for one solaris environment without any further testing.

If you have further interest you will have to get this version from CVS.
(For anonymous access to the yplot CVS follow the directions at
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15416, and also read the cvs man page
and run info cvs to find out how to request a certain date.) I finalized it
30 August, and there was a period of CVS inactivity afterward so if you ask
for the CVS version of date 1 September 2001 (or any time in September), I
believe you will get the right version.  Note I am actively working on yplot
CVS at the moment to get it to work with yorick-1.5, but I am right in the
middle of it so CVS HEAD probably won't work for you (but a 1 September date
will).

Note, other things you have to do on Solaris are to use gcc to compile
plplot-5.0.4. and the native solaris compiler to compile yorick-1.4.  (The
native solaris compiler does not work on plplot-5.0.4 [we allowed too many
gcc-specific statements into that version], and the gcc option is
misconfigured [IIRC] for yorick-1.4).

Finally, look carefully through the yplot INSTALL file to see what
environment variables you can set to help yplot find your yorick-1.4 and
plplot-5.0.4 installation directories.

Please let me know how it goes.  If you encounter problems, I would be
willing to help you with advice from what I can remember of my one solaris
experience, but you are mostly going to have to dig things out for yourself
because Sun never makes it easy.  Also, you are only the 3rd person to try
this.

Alan
