#91 Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) Support
Allows gnuplot to compile on OS X 10.3
There were two modifications
1. S_OUTPUT had to be renamed (conflicted with an
OpenTransport constant) In this patch, I renamed it to
S_OUTPUT_. Might want to look into putting this into some
kind of namespace to "properly" fix this problem.
2. removed the is_3d_plot extern from tkcanvas.trm. For
some reason this was causing a conflict with is_3d_plot
from command.h, even though they were supposed to be
the same thing. Very strange. Perhaps there's some
mysterious macro screwing around behind the scenes?

1) C has no namespaces to move to, and certainly not
regarding the preprocessing phase. You just have to avoid
stuff already used by others.
2) Please explain that "conflict" in more detail. The error
message from the compiler would be needed at minimum, a
preprocessed source file might be even more helpful (--> -
save-temps option of GCC).

When doing a build on my MacOSX 10.3 system I got the same
error. The conflict arises due to a duplicate declaration
of S_OUTPUT. It is declared in gnuplot as en enumeration
and is also declared within an unnamed enumeration in one of
the MacOSX header files (I can't remember which one off of
the top of my head).
I performed the same modifications (not using the patch) as
the original author of this patch and was able to
successfully compile gnuplot from CVS. Of course, having
one of the enumerations terminate with an underscore while
the rest do not isn't really appealing. As for namespaces I
think that coming up with a more unique naming convention
(GP_S_OUTPUT maybe) would be nice. I'd be more than happy
to work on a renaming to get it working cleanly.
I do development on both Linux and MacOSX

Today I checked in a patch to fix issue 1) (renamed S_OUTPUT
to SET_OUTPUT --- appending a _ just felt wrong).
That still leaves me puzzled as to issue 2). I've yet to
see a description of that "conflict".

Your patch worked fine for me. Builds and isntalls without a hitch
now.

Per, I'm handing this over to you. I guess this can be
closed as Fixed, but have no way of checking.

1) Is fixed by the 2003-12-01 patch (as well as the new aquaterm.trm)
2) I don't see the problems described by the original poster.
So, I consider this issue Fixed and will close it as such. Should (2)
surface again then it should be assigned a new issue # of its own.
