[Gnuplot-info] Qt terminal and Wxt terminal on Mac Os X - no success

[Guido W. P. <coc...@gm...>]

Hi all,

this is my first post in the mailing list. First of all, thank you to  
all developers for the great software; I use it daily at work and it  
never failed me.

However, I got tired of the usual X11 terminal. I wanted a terminal  
with antialias but I was not satisfied by Aquaterm (no zooming...).  
Hence, I tried to install Qt terminal (see http://www.nabble.com/Qt-terminal-td21784702.html#a21803303 
  and http://www.nabble.com/Qt-terminal-td25149285.html) and wxt  
terminal.

Alas, I had no success. These are my experiences:

1) QT TERMINAL:
On compile time, I have to manually set the following QT flags:
export QT_LIBS='-L/usr/lib -L/Library/Frameworks -framework QtCore - 
framework QtSvg -framework QtNetwork -framework QtGui'
export QT_CFLAGS='-I/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers -I/ 
Library/Frameworks/QtNetwork.framework/Headers -I/Library/Frameworks/ 
QtGui.framework/Headers -I/Library/Frameworks/QtSvg.framework/Headers'

The command "./configure --enable-qt" gives me the reassuring "Qt  
terminal: yes (EXPERIMENTAL)." among the other messages.

Then, I execute "make". I immediately get these errors:
Making all in qtterminal
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
o ui_QtGnuplotSettings.h qtterminal/QtGnuplotSettings.ui
make[3]: o: No such file or directory

o moc_QtGnuplotEvent.cpp qtterminal/QtGnuplotEvent.h
make[3]: o: No such file or directory
make[3]: [moc_QtGnuplotScene.cpp] Error 1 (ignored)

Then, it continues to compile correctly for a while, until I get this  
error:

"qtterminal/QtGnuplotWidget.cpp:280:34: error: ui_QtGnuplotSettings.h:  
No such file or directory"

2) WXT TERMINAL:
No problems at compile time. After issuing to Gnuplot "set term wxt;  
plot x", I succesfully obtain the plot but (i) it has no frame, nor  
menus  and (ii) I cannot click on it (spinning wheel pointer). Gnuplot  
repeats for several times this error message:
"2009-10-28 12:05:19.521 gnuplot[28832:903] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool 
(): Object 0x101671710 of class NSEvent autoreleased with no pool in  
place - just leaking".

My computer's spec are:
Mac Os X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard
gcc 2.1 provided by Apple
Qt 4.6 (I tried with Qt 4.5.3 and I got the same result)
wxWidgets 2.9

Thank you very much for any help!

Regards,

Guido
