Thread: build script for Gnuplot under MinGW/Msys, Solaris, Linux

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi all,

I have recently created a script to build Gnuuplot on Windows under the MinGW/Msys environment with PNG, Freetype and GD.  I have also used this for Solaris and Linux environments.  This is based on a CVS snapshot from about 9 months ago.

Here are the versions of the libraries I used (freetype-2.3.5, gd-2.0.33, libpng-1.2.18, zlib-1.2.3).  The build script assumes that these libraries are in .tar.gz files located in the top of the Gnuplot tree.  The script will build static libraries just for Gnuplot to use.  I often work on older Linux boxes that I can't change and don't have the newer versions of these libraries.

The one thing I had to to was modify the gd.h file to never build a DLL.  So I created a copy of gd.h named gd.h.win32 to prevent the DLL.

I put the script in the top level of the Gnuplot tree and run it from there.  I simply called it build.sh.

Hope it helps someone,

Mike Sutton

BTW some email readers might mess up the line wrap.
