Re: [Plplot-devel] Current plan is to release PLplot-5.2.0 on 18th January

[Maurice L. <mj...@ga...>]

Sorry it took so long to get back to plplot work.. I've been pretty low on my
free time budget recently.  If the release goes out w/o me having solved my
portability problems, so be it.  I rarely use the release version anyway. :/

Probably.  I noticed a problem at link time so I didn't even bother trying an
example program.  But errors are easy to miss given the large amount of
output.

But this was my first time when I forgot to put --enable-dyndrivers, so this
points to a problem in the static driver configuration.  Note there's no
-lX11 in the above link line. :)

Unfortunately, --enable-dyndrivers doesn't help -- it just moves the creation
of the error to build-time.  It gives the same error as before:

Note I'm using a really old version of gcc on this machine but it looks like a
config error rather than being gcc's fault:

zion$ gcc -v

gcc version 2.8.1


Aside:  I really hate how many hundreds of lines of output there is.  Makes it
much harder to find errors.  Unfortunately you can't just redirect stdout b/c
you lose context of the errors that do occur.  I suppose you could do:

zion$ make install >foo.log
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libplplottcltk.la'
/usr/ucb/ld:
Warning: Unresolved:
cos
sin
XLookupString
XWarpPointer
XQueryPointer
XDrawLines
XClearWindow
XFlush
XParseColor
XSync

and then to see the context of that do:

zion$ make install >foo.log 2>&1

What we need is a program that does for stderr what "tee" does for stdout,
that way we could send output+errors to a file but only errors to the console.
Should actually pretty easy to write one.
