Re: Any chance to fix gnuplot on mac?

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

I ran out of time (will be back in August), so here is a quick summary:

AquaTerm:
- needs another patch to check if aquaterm can be built at all
- needs a few more tweaks to replace -laquaterm with -framework
AquaTerm in ./configure

Qt:
- building worked for me after patching Makefile
- I will test if plotting works when I'm back home
- I will test if building works with Qt installed by MacPorts
- one needs to make sure that even if pkg-config doesn't return
anything about Qt, the libraries can still be included with proper
flags and that moc, uic, ... are taken from PATH

wxt:
- Thanks a lot for applying the patches. That makes testing zillions
of times easier.
- Version 2.9 doesn't compile with MacPorts. I'm waiting for
developers to reply, but it would be great if gnuplot supported
2.9(.2)
    http://trac.macports.org/ticket/30340
- Once I'm back home I will try to test with 2.8.
- Once I'm back home I hope that the patch for MacPorts will be ready,
so that I will be able to try with 2.9 as well.
- I would strongly suggest to concentrate to make sure that 2.9 will
work since 2.8 uses outdated/abandoned technology that will 90% stop
working when Mac OS X 10.8 comes out (or whatever the next version
will be called; maybe iOS XI :) - that might be in year and a half or
two years at most.
