Re: [Plplot-devel] Plplot on Mac OS X

[Rajeev A. <au...@sl...>]

Hazen, 
    I tried this first (just plain old ./configure), and only when it did
not compile did I start reading the INSTALL and README. The src is from
plplot.sourcefourge.com (I got 5.3.0).  I also read about the problems
w/FREETYPE etc., so it made sense to include those flags in the ./configure
(i.e. ./configure --mandir=/sw/share/man FREETYPELIBDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib
FREETYPEINCDIR=/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 TCLLIBDIR=/sw/lib
TKLIBDIR=/sw/lib GDLIBDIR=/sw/lib
JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Home
--with-pthreads --with-pkg-config). I have installed the latest version of
libtool (1.5.8) and the versions available with fink of automake (1.6.3) and
autoconf (2.57).  Although, I notice that plplot builds it's own version of
libtool.   The problem seems to be with common declaration in sfstubs.o in
building the f77 dynamic library.  I have tried to manually compile using
g77 and gcc, and including -fno-common flage got it past several problems
but not the last step in building dylib (on my powerbook which has 10.2.8)
    I'll try it on 10.3.

Thanks for the suggestions!
-Rajeev.
