Dear all, After a long hiatus, I resumed creating packages of Gnuplot for macOS. To avoid problems, many libraries are statically linked. Unlike my older versions, I now use the wxt terminal, so users no longer need to install XQuartz. The webpage for my packages is: https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_macOS Version 6.0.2 is available now, although only for Macs with ARM-based processors. I intend to create an Intel-compatible version in the coming days. *Feedback, problem reports, etc. are welcome!* *Ethan: Can you update http://gnuplot.info/download.html <http://gnuplot.info/download.html> in two regards?* - "Various versions through current 5.4:" should be "Various versions through current:" -The link in csml-wiki.northwestern.edu is now: " https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_macOS " Thank you!

Thank you. I did not encounter any issues compiling for ARM (some of the libraries required me to figure out the right configuration settings, but none of that was related to gnuplot).

Just to follow up on this: I now also compiled a version specifically for Intel-based Macs, see https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_macOS . Problems reports, suggestions, etc. are always welcome!

Question:
Do your gnuplot builds include ./configure --with-aquaterm?
I haven't heard anything from or about the AquaTerm project for a long time.
There's an open bug report for aquaterm on the gnuplot tracker from 2017
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1969/
Can you check whether that issue still needs a fix, or alternatively if
aquaterm
is essentially unsupported maybe we should just remove it?

Hi Ethan, I deliberately omitted aquaterm from my compiled version, since the project appears to be dormant (last change 2013, likewise for the mailing list) and the wxt terminal seems to work well. If there are reasons for me to reconsider, please let me know.

If there are reasons for me to reconsider, please let me know. Aauaterm works fine on macOS 13 Ventura. My Intel Mac is rather old (2017 iMac) and can't test on the newer macOS (14 Sonoma, 15 Sequoia). Can anyone test on these OSes? If aquaterm works on Sonoma/Sequoia I think it would be useful to include it since quaterm is the only terminal that can copy a plot into clipboard in vector format (EPSF, or PDF as Apple calls it). This is quite useful if you want to copy/paste the plot into Keynote, PowerPoint etc. (with wxt terminal we need to save the plot in .pdf file and then include the file into the presentation etc.). |

Hi Jun, I will see if I can get it to work, hopefully this weekend. On a side note, you wrote "EPSF, or PDF as Apple calls it". However, EPSF = Encapsulated Postscript, which is closely related to PDF, but definitely not the same. In any case, I'll keep you posted on aquaterm.

The wxt and qt terminals can both dump PDF output of the plot currently on the screen. Is the issue that you would like it sent to a clipboard rather than to a file? I don't know exactly what "clipboard" means on a Mac, but if there is a standard way to paste things there maybe this is worth a feature request for those other terminals. - Ethan |

On macOS with aquaterm, I can use the key combination Cmd-C to copy the plot to the clipboard in PDF format, and paste it into PowerPoint etc. by hitting Cmd-V. |

Hi (I took the liberty to change the subject),
Here is an update:
1. configuration with "--with-aquaterm" completely throws off the
compilation. I found that this is caused by a specific line in the
./configure script (line 10668 in Gnuplot 6.0.2):
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -ObjC"; LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -framework Foundation
-framework AquaTerm"
The LDFLAGS make the configure script subsequently fail finding various
libraries (GNU readline, etc.) and the configuration of the source code is
completely wrong (numerous error messages during compilation). The problem
occurs in 5.4.10 and 6.0.2, and both on my old Intel-based Mac running
macOS Catalina and my ARM-based Mac running macOS Sequioa. I do not
understand why this happens.
2. Despite the above, I was able to compile (by changing the configure
script) Gnuplot with AquaTerm. On the Intel machine, this was
straightforward using the precompiled AquaTerm package on sourceforge. The
compiled version of Gnuplot can also be run on an ARM Mac, via emulation.
On the other hand, attempting direct compilation of Gnuplot with aquaterm
on my ARM Mac caused a problem during linking, since the sourceforge
AquaTerm framework does not provide arm64 object code.
3. To circumvent this, I tried building AquaTerm on ARM using "xcodebuild
build"; however, this failed. I admittedly do not have the bandwidth to
sort this out; pointers would be very welcome! One problem is that "
Message/NSMailDelivery.h" is used, which has been deprecated by Apple. This
may be easy to address - I simply do not know.
4. I can confirm Jun's statement: Copy/Paste from an AquaTerm window yields
a scalable (vector) object. On the other hand, Copy/Paste from a wxt
terminal seems to be a bitmap.
So, as a brief summary:
- I can make available an x86_64 version of Gnuplot with aquaterm, which
will run on ARM machines as well (but not natively).
- I would much appreciate help in building AquaTerm (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aquaterm/files/AquaTerm/v1.1.1/) on an
arm-based Mac.
Apologies for the long message!
Erik
