Hi,

so here are the promised instructions to make the wxtp terminal run on
Mac OS X. Basically it's just downloading and installing the GTK
Framework for Mac OS X, applying the attached patch to the latest
gnuplot cvs and compile it. Below are much more detailed instructions
and comments.

*****************************************************************
* Installation instructions

0) Install XCode ;). Instructions were tested on Mac OS X 10.5.8, Intel.
I keep everything in the directory I work, so no files are installed in
the system.

I) Install gnuplot 4.4 on Mac OS X with wxWidgets Terminal (using
provided wxWidgets libraries, works but toolbar isn't working properly)

1) install GTK Framework
  a) Download the GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg package from
http://r.research.att.com/ and install it
  b) Add to your .profile file in the home directory:
    export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin:$PATH

2) get latest gnuplot 4.4 from cvs (branch-4-4-stable) and apply patch
  a) export
CVSROOT=:pserver:ano...@gn...:/cvsroot/gnuplot
  b) cvs login     (use an empty password)
  c) cvs -z3 checkout -r branch-4-4-stable gnuplot
  d) cd gnuplot
  e) patch -p1 < path-to/wxt-as-process-20100301.diff
  f) ./prepare
  g) cd ..

3) compile gnuplot, in the same directory as the checked out gnuplot
directory do
  a) mkdir build
  b) cd build
  c) ../gnuplot/configure --prefix=$PWD/../local/ --with-readline=bsd
  d) check if you find at the end of the configure output
  wxt terminal: yes
  cairo-based pdf and png terminals: yes
  e) make
  f) make install
BTW: make install fails if make install is not called with root
privileges (which I don't want, since I install into my $HOME directory
anyway) with the message:

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/etc/X11/app-defaults/" || ../../gnuplot/install-sh -c -d
"/etc/X11/app-defaults/"
mkdir: /etc/X11: Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-appdefaultDATA] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

4) ../local/bin/gnuplot

II) Install gnuplot 4.4 on Mac OS X with wxWidgets Terminal (using self
compiled wxWidgets libraries, works much better)

1) as in I

2) compile a static wxWidgets library
  a) Download the wxWidgets 2.8.11-rc2 library from
http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.8.11-rc2/wxMac-2.8.11-rc2.zip , unzip it
  b) export WXDIR=path-to/wxMac-2.8.11-rc2
  c) cd $WXDIR
  d) mkdir osx
  e) cd osx
  f) ../configure --prefix=$WXDIR/osx/local --disable-shared
  g) make
  h) make install
  i) export PATH=$WXDIR/osx/local/bin:$PATH

3) as step 2 in I

4) as step 3 in I

5) ../local/bin/gnuplot

*****************************************************************
* Comments about patch

X) Create patch
  a) Download wxt-as-process-20090210.diff
  b) patch -p1 < path-to/wxt-as-process-20090210.diff
     Problem:
patching file src/Makefile.am
Hunk #1 FAILED at 29.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 63 with fuzz 1 (offset -3 lines).
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/Makefile.am.rej
Adding line 36:
GNUPLOT_WXT = `echo gnuplot_wxt | sed '$(transform)'`$(EXEEXT)

Changing line 38:
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I../term -I$(top_srcdir)/term -DBINDIR=\"$(bindir)\"
- -DX11_DRIVER_DIR=\"$(X11_DRIVER_DIR)\"
- -DGNUPLOT_PS_DIR=\"$(GNUPLOT_PS_DIR)\"
- -DGNUPLOT_JS_DIR=\"$(GNUPLOT_JS_DIR)\"
- -DGNUPLOT_LUA_DIR=\"$(GNUPLOT_LUA_DIR)\"  -DCONTACT=\"$(EMAIL)\"
- -DHELPFILE=\"$(HELPFILE)\" -DGNUPLOT_X11=\"$(GNUPLOT_X11)\"
- -DXAPPLRESDIR=\"$(XAPPLRESDIR)\" -DGNUPLOT_WXT=\"$(GNUPLOT_WXT)\"

  c) Added "hack", so that non-app bundle GUIs get focus (see patch).
     At the top add:
#ifdef __WXMAC__
	#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>
	extern "C" { void CPSEnableForegroundOperation( ProcessSerialNumber*
psn ); }
#endif

     in wxt_init() add:
	/* this hack enables to have a GUI on Mac OSX even if the
	 * program was called from the command line (and isn't a bundle) */
#ifdef __WXMAC__
	FPRINTF((stderr,"Mac hack\n"));
	ProcessSerialNumber psn;

	GetCurrentProcess( &psn );
	CPSEnableForegroundOperation( &psn );
	SetFrontProcess( &psn );
#endif
