Nope.  I guess you misunderstood what I said above which I now realize was
terse.  To expand on that do run ./configure with an install prefix of your
choice.  (This can be any convenient _empty_ directory under your home
directory.) Do run "./configure --prefix=whatever", make, and "make
install". Then look at the Makefile in the above _installed_ directory. It
is only ~70 lines long and a good third of that is the copyright notice.
Note the "make install" command copies everything a PLplot users needs
(including the examples and convenient Makefiles for them) in one convenient
location rather than having files scattered all over the build tree and
mixed in with a lot of other files which are normally not needed by the
PLplot user.  Note, you should put $prefix/bin on your PATH before executing
the make command in the above _installed_ examples directory to build all
the examples.

[Plplot-general] Simple compile line?

[Joe Koski <jkoski11@co...>]

As a new user of plplot, I want to try a simple command line compile of one
of the examples. Examination of Chapter 21 of the manual says that this
section needs work. I'm using a Mac with OS X 10.3.9, but, being a bash
shell, this should be similar to Linux. What I tried, among other things,
was

Joe-Koskis-Computer:~/Fortran_Compiles/plplot examples/f77 jakoski$ g77 -O2
-L/usr/local/lib/ -o x16f x16f.f -lplplotf77d
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_pladv_
_plcol0_
_plend_
_plinit_
_plline_
_plpsty_
_plscmap0n_
_plvpor_
_plwind_
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Does anyone have a simple command line way to compile with plplot libraries
and g77? The 1000 line makefile examples don't give me too many clues.

Thanks. Is there a document somewhere that I should read?

Joe

Look at the installed examples (the ones that are created in
$prefix/share/plplot5.5.3/examples/f77 when your run "make install").  There
is a short Makefile in that installed directory that has everything you need
to know.

Alan,

I couldn't find a "short" makefile in the f77 example directory. Are these
the typical makefile lines (out of 951) to which you refer?

x06f$(EXEEXT): $(x06f_OBJECTS) $(x06f_DEPENDENCIES)
    @rm -f x06f$(EXEEXT)
    $(F77LINK) $(x06f_LDFLAGS) $(x06f_OBJECTS) $(x06f_LDADD) $(LIBS)

There must be a simpler example somewhere. The example makefile is so
obfuscated by substitutions that decoding is all but impossible.

My example (in my original post) was a feeble attempt at understanding after
studying the very same makefile that I think you suggested. Sorry, I've been
using Fortran for over 40 years, but have used the make utility (off and on)
for only for the last 10 years or so.

Could someone please suggest a simple command line compilation of something
like x06f.f? Would defining some environment variables help?

Sorry to be such a dunce.

Joe

Alan,

Thanks. 

I went into my installed plplot examples in
/usr/local/share/plplot5.3.1/examples/f77 and copied the Makefile there to
my home directory for inspection. Yes, it is much simpler than the one in
the original directory. This should be what I need to get the job done.

The plplot examples all work, so this will also be a good prototype for my
own makefiles.

Joe
