Re: [Plplot-general] Problems with building Plplot 5.11.0 install on MacOS (fwd)

[Spong, D. A. <sp...@or...>]

I installed the x86_64 version of AquaTerm and that seems to have fixed the problems with aqt. However, as Marius noted, there are still issues with x86_64 vs. i386 incompatibility (see attached cmake.out and make.out files). These seem to arise from the wxwidgets linking. I’ve set ENABLE_wxwidgets=OFF, but it still tries to link wxwidgets. In the cmake step it somehow decides that the -arch i386 compiler flag needs to be added to wxwidgets_LINK_FLAGS. I don’t know why this choice is made. I’ve also gone back and explicitly set:
    export CC="gcc -arch x86_64 -O2"
    export CXX="g++ -arch x86_64 -O2”
But the cmake step still insists on compiling wxwidgets and using the -arch i386 setting instead. Any suggestions as to what is causing this and how to fix it?

- Thanks, Don
