Timoth=E9e,

I applied the patch, borrowed fontconfig from X11 with an export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and successfully built gnuplot-4.2.rc1 with a wxt terminal=
.
(I'll send you a screen shot separately.)

To test, I started gnuplot, set term wxt, and did a plot [-4:4] sin(x) to
see what would happen.

I got the plot, but I could not get "focus" or whatever you call it for the
plot window. When I placed the cursor in the plot window area, all I get wa=
s
a twirling icon telling me to wait. This happens any time the cursor crosse=
s
the wxt window. When I quit gnuplot, the plot window also disappeared.

During the build I saw

'

set.c:2309: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'map_position=
'

But I don't know if this is significant. What should I be looking for?

I think that this is remarkable progress for a first attempt. I still need
to get a full build of fontconfig to work independently from X11, and I hav=
e
a question submitted to the fontconfig help list to try to get that "make
install" problem resolved.

I'm available for further builds and testing. Let me know what to try next.
