Hello octplot folks,

I am re-installing the octplot-svn481 after upgrading to
octave-3.0.1 under cygwin-1.5.25-15. I previously had octplot-svn481
installed and working well under octave-2.1.73. I have left my suite
of compilers at gcc-3.3.3-3. My procedure was:

-- 'make uninstall' the old svn481
-- upgrade cygwin and octave to the newer versions
-- svn checkout a fresh copy of the svn481
-- 'autoreconf'
-- './configure'
-- 'make'

The 'make' compilation failed after a point. I am sending to
you the output generated by the makefile from the point where things
went a little wrong. Also inform me as to whether I should now
upgrade to the newer gcc-3.4.4-3 suite of compilers.

Thanks,

George Barrick gbarrick@kent.edu

Hi

I'm afraid octplot is not compatible with octave version 3.x.x There have been numerous changes to octave internal data strictures in the move from 2.9.x to 3.0.0 and porting octplot will be far from trivial.
I also think such a port to be unnecessary since octave 3.0.1 provides a very nice subset of handle graphics built-in, and future releases will also include a native backend instead of gnuplot
