I have never seen that error message.
Perhaps this is a difference between MiKTeX and TexLive?
You could try changing the word "include" to "input" on line 42 of titlepag.tex

   % This is only needed if you want to embed figures
-  \include{gpinsetfigure}
+  \input{gpinsetfigure}

This one makes no sense to me.
Please check the content of gpinsetfigure.tex
It should look like this:

[~/git/gnuplot-main/docs] cat gpinsetfigure.tex
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{picins}
\newcommand{\gpinsetfigure}[1]{
  \parpic[r][rt]{\includegraphics[width=3in,keepaspectratio]{#1}}
}

There should be no "\end" in the file, and the definition of
gpinsetfigure should appear only once.

Thank you for your reply again

Unfortunately the below patch gives a different error.
On MikTeX

(f:\programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/tools\longtable.sty)

LaTeX Warning: \include should only be used after \begin{document} on input lin
e 42.

I apologize.  The patch I gave was incomplete.
It should also have changed the previous two lines in the Makefile.
Here is a more complete patch:

On native windows, there are no mechanisms for automatic generation for Makefile 
and need to edit it by hand.
I usually store the changes into the diff file and restore the changes by patch command at each cloning file image.

It's not. All the actual makefiles in the "config" sub tree are 
hand-written, except for the source file lists they import from the 
generated src/makefile.all and src/makefile.awc.  The Makefile.am in 
there is just for organizing the tarball.

There's a case to be made that a CMake setup could replace a large part 
of those, particularly mingw, cygwin, msvc.  Among other things, that 
could reduce the extra work of maintaining them all.

I have a CMake script here that does most of what config/cygwin and 
config/msvc achieve.  I haven't yet tried to add the extra work as done 
by config/mingw: no TeX, no Japanese docs, etc.

At the very top of your log file are these lines
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
   $ PATH=/f/Programs/MiKTeX/miktex/bin/x64:$PATH make docs
   cp gnuplot-figures.tex gp_tex2.tex

I think this means that your build path under Windows uses a Makefile
I did not know about and therefore failed to include when modifying
the mechanism for figure generation in commits    0a0a64   12aabd   

That would not surprise me. I broke it on linux also :-(
See Bug #2453
I tried to fix that, but it could be that I made things worse.


Is it this file?
   .../config/mingw/Makefile

How is that file generated?
Is it automatically created or is it edited by hand?

I think that the patch below would fix the problem you show,
but I don't know whether to apply it to that file directly or
apply it to a higher-level Makefile.am or Makefile.in.

inquiry make documentation on native windows

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

In development source (5.5), 'make docs' stops at the below

*********************************************
 ! Undefined control sequence.
l.1626 \gpinsetfigure
                     {figure_E0}
?
*********************************************

All outputs are given
http://tmacchant33.starfree.jp/Files/latex-error.txt

The error does not occur in Cygwin build.

For native windows build, I have used the MikTeX that are usable  without problem until 5.4 sources.

Today I tried to use Cygwin's Texlive 2021 in the mingw build, the results are almost the same.
 
Any suggestions are welcome.

I forgot to mention another bug #2476 (font problem on qt terminal on windows) and 
a topic on windows :  default encoding on Japanese windows environment
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/mailman/message/37402920/

Both might be be treated as the windows installer setting.

I could build 5.4.3b on windows.
The bug #2412 (pipe issue) is fixed in 5.4.3b.

Beta-testing version of 5.4.3

[Ethan A M. <me...@uw...>]

I have placed a tarball for a beta-test version of gnuplot 5.4.3 on SourceForge.
Please report any problems or requests for inclusion by the end of this year.

There is nothing special in this minor release. Mostly small fixes to
individual terminals, configuration of byte-array data for little-endian
platforms, and a few items back-ported from the development version.
For a slightly more complete list of changes see the Release Notes.

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/testing/gnuplot-5.4.3beta.tar.gz

My plan is to put out the 5.4.3 release version in the first week of January.

	happy gnuplotting,

		Ethan

spurious messages at first plot on qt terminal on Cygwin

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

As far as I remenber, I made the similar question on the phenomena.

After workaround by  by  Enrico Forestieri 
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/mailman/gnuplot-beta/thread/160...@we.../
I could use qt termninal on Cygwin again.

At first plot in the interactive mode, spurious messages appear.

Terminal type is now 'qt'

AW: Re: default encoding on Japanese windows environment

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

Please note that setting the default process code page to UTF-8 is a new (beta) feature (1903) which might not be supported by LTS installations yet (mine doesn't). (Setting an environment variable won't do the trick though).

Changing the default for gnuplot is as easy as adding "set encoding utf8" to "gnuplot.ini".  We could add an option to the installer to make utf8 the default instead of the "ANSI" codepage, though, similar to the selection of the default terminal.

Behavior cp65001 of current windows 10 is changed before.
  past :Japanese font cannot be selected .IME input of Japanese characters is impossible
  now : Japanese font can be selected. IME input Japanese characters is possible.
I do not know when the above change ocurr.

I think that the user manual is appropriate.

Are you sure this is set by the program and not by the system or user preferences?
 
> sjis being default encoding on windows on Japanese env. is better to be stopped.

So far as I know gnuplot would only start with encoding SJIS if the user's computer
has current locale set to use sjis.

Gnuplot's initialization is done in routine encoding_from_locale() in file encoding.c.

It first tries to use the system function
	    l = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");

The man page says
       If locale is an empty string, "", each part of the locale that should be  modified  is
       set according to the environment variables.  The details are implementation-dependent.
       For glibc, first (regardless of category), the  environment  variable  LC_ALL  is  in‐
       spected, next the environment variable with the same name as the category (see the ta‐
       ble above), and finally the environment variable LANG.  The first existing environment
       variable is used.  If its value is not a valid locale specification, the locale is un‐
       changed, and setlocale() returns NULL.

On linux an appropriate japanese locale string is "ja_JP.UTF-8"
but I know that Windows uses different names for locales.

Do you know if your Japanese env. machine is returning a valid locale specification at this
point?   If so, that is what gnuplot will use.   If no valid return is detected, the program
then falls through to this code:
#ifdef _WIN32
    /* get encoding from currently active codepage */
    if (encoding == S_ENC_INVALID) {
#ifndef WGP_CONSOLE
        encoding = map_codepage_to_encoding(GetACP());
#else
        encoding = map_codepage_to_encoding(GetConsoleCP());
#endif
    }
#endif

So I think that to change the initial encoding in gnuplot, the user needs to either
(1) set an appropriate environmental variable global to the session or
(2) set the code page to CP65001.

Is there a good place to find instructions on how to do this?
Should we add a section to the installation instructions or the user manual?

I have only built wxMSW for native windows. 
I used wxGTK for Cygwin.
I do not know whether wxGTK works on windows.

That is evidence of a font problem.
The jitter algorithm calculates displacement in terms of
horizontal character width, which is obtained from the font
metrics.  If the font incorrectly reports the width, then
all of the jitter displacements are too big or too small.

I am a bit surprised that the wxt terminal doesn't show the
same problem.  On linux, both qt and wxt use the same font
mechanism.  But perhaps this isn't the case on Windows.

If I recall correctly, you can configure wxWidgets to use
different system back-ends.  If you can figure out what
configuration option wxt is using to get correct font metrics,
maybe we can persuade qt to use that same mechanism.

We consider the case where there is no "set encoding xxxx" in GNUPLOT.INT and GNUTERM is not sprcified.
At start up, excution result of "show encoding"
Cygwin => default (Perhaps on Linux the same)
Windows (on Japanese env.) => sjis (ShiftJIS, old Japanese encording)
Windows (not Japanese env.) => I do not know

Now even on Windows standard text editor notepad.exe, default encoding is utf8 but not sjis.
Sjis encording is only for backward compatibility.

sjis being default encoding on windows on Japanese env. is better to be stopped.

windows binary package distribution of the development version is resumed.

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

I resumed to distribute windows binary package for the development version because  I  recieved the request.

Notes
Because of  initairization issue for qt terminal, the qt terminal is omitted at the moment.
I only provide a zip archived package at the moment. 
Distribution cycle is not so frequent as before.

Please try new features .and feedback to gnuplot-beta mailing-list or ticket in the SourceForge.

Proportion of size for qt terminal sometimes strane qt terminal for windows.
(qt terminal on linux environments(including cywin) strange plots do not appear)

I will follow Bastian's decision.

This is the first I have heard about broken demos.
Why does the terminal make a difference?
Is this because of UTF-8 encoding?  But that is not specific to qt.

I have no opinion on the windows default terminal.
If there is consensus that it should be changed,
it would be good to make that change soon.

I was thinking that January 1 would be a good target date for
the 5.4.3 minor release, and planned to package up a testing
tarball 5.4.3-alpha next week.
