[Plplot-general] New CVS distribution tarball available
|
From: Rafael L. <rla...@us...> - 2004-01-04 19:40:11
|
A new CVS snapshot distribution tarball for PLplot is available at the usual
place:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html
The tarball name is plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20040104.tar.gz. This tarball fixes a
couple of issues pending since the last release (5.2.1.cvs.20031231). In
particular, compilation on MacOS should go much smoother now and the
pkg-config is hopefully fully operational. See the ChangeLog below for
details (sorry, Joao, your two last commits regarding the Octave bindings
did not get in).
Big thanks to everybody who helped with this cvs release, in particular
Alan, who rushed with the F77 API extension and building fixes, as well as
for his systematic tests of all my changes. Without Alan's hard work the
present release would not be possible.
This tarball can be considered as a *_serious_* release candidate for the
next version of PLplot. We do not have yet a precise schedule for the
release, but I foresee somewhere around the end of January. This will give
time to all our testers to catch up and also for me to do the final release
clean-up (boring work, like: updating the copyright notices, writing the
announcement, etc.)
I hope that by the end of January CVS HEAD will not be much changed,
otherwise, I will have to make a CVS branch for the release.
My preference is that the next release have version number 5.2.2, unless
good arguments for 5.3.0 are presented.

Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-04 18:45 CET)
--------------------
Change the logic of setting PLPLOT_MUTEX_RECURSIVE, by making $host_os =
linex* the special case, and not $host_os = darwin
plplot configure.ac 1.140
plplot sysloc.in 1.64
Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-04 13:18 CET)
--------------------
Improve portability of libpthread-related code
In sysloc.in, a new AC_DEFINE macro is created: PLPLOT_MUTEX_RECURSIVE. In
darwin systems it will expand to PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE, otherwise to
PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.
Also, in xwin.c, pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() was changed to
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), since this should work in all systems.
plplot sysloc.in 1.63
plplot drivers/xwin.c 1.115
Commit from airwin (2004-01-04 04:06 CET)
------------------
Eliminate "p" examples from test because they user higher-level octave
programming that demands octave-2.1.50 or better (which not all users have).
We have kept the remaining "x" examples for this test. They are worth
having since they directly test the octave interface to libplplot and they
work for octave-2.0.x or later.
plplot test/test_octave.sh 1.12
Commit from airwin (2004-01-04 02:13 CET)
------------------
Took Rafael's advice and moved all AC_SUBST macros out of conditionals
(since apparently they are executed regardless, and they can lead to
shell problems if they are the only macro inside the conditional).
plplot configure.ac 1.139
plplot sysloc.in 1.62
Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-04 01:09 CET)
--------------------
Fixed use of rpath option in compile commands under the pkg-config paradigm.
A new AC_SUBST variable RPATHCMD is created in configure.ac containing
"-Wl,-rpath -Wl,$libdir". This solution has portability issues, but should
work now for a large spectrum of systems/compilers. I will revisit this
issue in the future.
plplot configure.ac 1.138

plplot examples/c++/Makefile.examples.in 1.16
plplot examples/f77/Makefile.examples.in 1.17
plplot examples/tk/Makefile.examples.in 1.12
Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 21:56 CET)
------------------
Get rid of lots of "default" linking cruft in configure.ac. Instead, use
ADD_TO_INCS and ADD_TO_LIBS in sysloc.in.
There is more of this to do for the (i)tcl/tk flags, but that is a more
complicated situation, and in any case tcl/tk configuration needs a complete
rewrite in other ways as well.
plplot configure.ac 1.137
plplot sysloc.in 1.61
Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 21:44 CET)
------------------
Fixed continuation issue.
plplot examples/tk/Makefile.examples.in 1.11
Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-03 20:22 CET)
--------------------
* Created the AC_SUBSTituted variable PKG_CONFIG_ENV. This variable replaces
the previous PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It defaults to the usual
"PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_DIR", but can be overriden by using the
environment variable of same name. This is done in debian/rules for
instance , since setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not necessary in Debian. The
echo from the make command in the installed examples directories is much
cleaner now (in Debian, at least):
$ cd examples/c
$ make -n x01c
gcc x01c.c -o x01c `pkg-config --cflags --libs plplotd`
* Added $(RPATH) to the compilation command under the pkg-config approach in
the examples/*/Makefile.examples.in.
* In examples/tk/Makefile.examples.in, added include flags specific to
Tcl/Tk in the compilation command under the pkg-config approach. A new
variable TCLTKINCCMD was created, which is also used in INCLUDEANDLIB.

Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 18:14 CET)
------------------
Add top-level Makefile to installed examples tree. To do this and to
avoid name clashes with existing Makefiles, the configurable file is
called Makefile.examples.in which is configured to Makefile.examples which
is renamed on install to Makefile.
The resulting Makefile in the installed examples tree is of considerable
usefulness. Previous instructions were "cd c; make; cd c++; make; cd f77;
make; cd tk; make; cd ..; ./plplot-test.sh". Those are now simply replace
(in the _installed_ examples tree or a copy of it) by "make;
./plplot-test.sh". Also, the subdirectories are now configured in the
generated Makefile so the instructions don't have to be modified if, e.g.,
fortran, is not enabled.

Include 18th fortran example in plplot-test.sh tests.

Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 05:39 CET)

Bug fix for unique prefix case: put PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(PKG_CONFIG_PATH) inside
backwards quotes rather than at start of command line.

Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 04:33 CET)
------------------
* Define the expanded variables LIB_HARDDIR and DRV_HARDDIR (expanded or
"hard" versions of LIB_DIR and DRV_DIR).
* These variables are used to configure bindings/*/pkgIndex.tcl which are
then concatanated into bindings/pkgIndex.tcl. The latter file is installed
in the $prefix/share tree. It allows needed PLplot libraries or plug-in
drivers to be found in the $prefix/lib tree directly from the tclsh or wish
environments using the lappend command.
* With these changes (which adjust for moving all the installed PLplot
tcl/tk scripts from the $prefix/lib tree to the $prefix/share tree) I can
once again execute PLplot commands from tclsh and wish environments
following the instructions in examples/README.tcldemos and
examples/README.tkdemos.

up the make.

Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-03 01:42 CET)
--------------------
Fixed several issues related to the *_DIR variables
* Made the treatment of the *_DIR even more systematic now. These variables
are really intended to AC_SUBSTitution in the Makefile.in generated from
Automake. As such, they are always relative, never hard paths.
* When it is needed to get them substituted as hard paths (like in config.h
via AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, or in the examples/*/Makefile.examples), then new
variables are defined. In particular, this is the case of the new
variables INCLUDE_DIR_CMD and LIB_DIR_CMD, which should be used in
examples/*/Makefile.examples and fix the problems with the plplot_libtool
approach.
* In order to help expansion of hard paths, the macro EXPAND_EXPRESSION was
added to acinclude.m4.
* Support for pkg-config was added to examples/tk/Makefile.examples.in.
Build of the examples in examples/tk with pkg-config is not working yet,
though. The Tcl/Tk include directories are not being included. I will
fix this later.

Commit from airwin (2004-01-03 00:31 CET)
------------------
* Stylistic changes: (comments, indentation, do loops)
* Removed bugs (notably some incorrect types, off-by-one indices, and
incorrect format statements).
* Removed redundant phi and theta routines whose functionality was already
done by statement functions.
* The updated example now produces identical results to the equivalent C
example without any valgrind problems. This tests the implementation of
the fortran interface wrappers for plline3, plpoin3, and plpoly3.
plplot examples/f77/x18f.fm4 1.3
Commit from airwin (2004-01-02 22:42 CET)
------------------
* Style changes (comments, indentation, do loops).
* Make this fortran "chart recorder example" work for first time. There are
some inevitable differences relative to the C version.
. Used g77 (and solaris fortran and ?) library rand function to generated
random numbers. Users will probably have to substitute some other
library call for random numbers for other compilers. Note the numbers
returned by rand are different from those of the C Library routine
drand48 so the interactive results look different (but still it looks
like a chart recorder which is cool.)
. plsError not part of the PLplot common API so bypassed it and let PLplot
do its own error handling.
. Dropped sleep interval from loop. 10 ms is about right, but the g77
sleep routine only has a resolution of 1 second (which is like watching
paint dry). Actually eliminating the loop delay altogether still makes
a good-looking "chart-recorder" example (at least on my 600MHz machine).

Expand number of strings that can be simultanously handled to 9 (fortran
plstripc needs this).

Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-02 17:22 CET)
--------------------
Move back to the non-Automake method for generating the
examples/*/Makefile.examples.
configure option --with-pkg-config is an opt-in now and defaults to "no".

Commit from airwin (2004-01-02 04:35 CET)
------------------
Fix for -dev tk on Linux. src/plctrl.c requires BIN_DIR to be set to the
hard install path in order for -dev tk to find things. To accomplish this
make the following fix:
-AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(BIN_DIR, "$BIN_DIR",
+AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(BIN_DIR, "`eval eval echo $BIN_DIR`",
This follows what was done for most (not all) other _DIR variables. I could
find no other use of BIN_DIR in the build tree other than above so I think
this is okay.
Nevertheless, it is a tentative fix because I have spot-rezoned what Rafael
has done recently for his massive changes of all the _DIR variables, and he
may have had something else in mind.
plplot configure.ac 1.131
Commit from rlaboiss (2004-01-01 22:33 CET)
--------------------
In src/plctrl.c, implemented plsabort, that does for plabort the same as
plsexit does for plexit (i.e., set a user abort handler).
The API sections for plsexit, plabort, and plsabort have been added to
doc/docbook/src/api-c.xml. The plexit section was updated, since the
description of plsexit was not accurate.

Greatly modified the 16th fortran example (the old version has been kept as
x16af.fm4) to mimic equivalent C example results exactly. This tests the
implementation of the new fortran interface (PLSHADES0, PLSHADES1, and
PLSHADES2) to plshades.

Commit from airwin (2004-01-01 21:14 CET)

--------------------
Use pkg-config in examples/*/Makefile.examples when appropriate
- Makefile.examples are now under Automake control. This means that
Makefile.examples.in are removed from the CVS repository and replaced
by Makefile.examples.am. The Makefile.examples.in are automatically
generated by bootstrap.sh (no change to the script was needed for
that).
- In the Makefile.examples.am, the rule to build the examples look
like this:
.c$(EXEEXT):
if have_pkg_config
$(CC) $< -o $@ `pkg-config --cflags --libs plplot$(LIB_TAG)`
else
plplot_libtool --mode=link $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< $(INCLUDEANDLIB) -o
+$@
endif
- The AM_CONDITIONAL have_pkg_config is exercised in configure.ac and
will be "true" when the pkg-config program is found in the system.
Also, there is a configure option --without-pkg-config (or
--with-pkg-config=no) that will disable the use of pkg-config and
fallback to plplot_libtool.

------------------
Change the logic of the previous bug fix so the test for what to do with the
plcont case is now identical to the test (pltr && pltr_data) done inside
plshade.
plplot src/plshade.c 1.24
Commit from airwin (2004-01-01 01:41 CET)
------------------
Fixed subtle bug for the corner case when pltr == NULL AND contouring is
wanted. In this case, plshades is supposed to have the same interpretation
as plshade, that is if pltr == NULL then transform the x and y index ranges
to the ranges xmin to xmax, and ymin to ymax. Normally, that transformation
was accomplished by simply passing on pltr to plshade to deal with using the
correct transformation. But a complication arose for pltr == NULL when
plshades was asked to also invoke plcont after its invocations of plshade.
The plcont interpretation of pltr is different, and in fact it must be
specified so the NULL was causing a segfault. The solution for the case of
pltr == NULL and contouring is to generate the appropriate x and y grids
ranging from xmin to xmax and ymin to ymax on the fly and set up the
invocation of plcont from plshades appropriately.
I copied the ideas for the necessary memory management from other plplot code
and tested the result with valgrind to make sure no memory management issues
have been introduced by this bug fix.
