[Gnuplot-bugs] Gnuplot 4.0 cygwin & make check

[Harald A. <an...@he...>]

Hi,

when running "make check" after a successful build of gnuplot 4.0 I
encounter the following problem:

[...]
Making check in demo
/usr/local/src/packages/gnuplot-4.0.0/demo
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/packages/gnuplot-4.0.0/demo'
make  check-local
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/packages/gnuplot-4.0.0/demo'
make[2]: *** [check-noninteractive] Error 128
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/packages/gnuplot-4.0.0/demo'
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/packages/gnuplot-4.0.0/demo'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

A window pops up that it cannot find cygwin1.dll .
Since the installed gnuplot appears to work, I looked for a quick fix.

It may be a problem with the PATH variable.  I modified demo/Makefile
so that it reads

check-noninteractive: $(BINARY_FILES)
		      @if test -z "$(GNUTERM)" ; then \
		        ( bdir=`pwd` ; PATH=$$bdir/../src:$$PATH
		      GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR=$$bdir/../src \
		          GNUPLOT_LIB=$(srcdir) $(GNUPLOT) $(DEMO)
		      </dev/null ); \
		      else \
		        ( bdir=`pwd` ; PATH=$$bdir/../src:$$PATH
		      GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR=$$bdir/../src \
		          GNUTERM=$(GNUTERM) GNUPLOT_LIB=$(srcdir)
		      $(GNUPLOT) $(DEMO) </dev/null ); \
		      fi

to make the check succeed.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
