Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv10678

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:
After Joao's suggestion, improved the way the plplot_octave-libdir.oct file
is generated, such that it is not doubly compiled (should also work for
octave 2.0).  The check for flag --compile of mkoctfile is removed from
sysloc.in, as well as the AM conditional mkoctfile_accepts_c_flag.  

Also, plplot_octave_txt/* is added to the list of CLEANFILES.

    plplot-double.pc.in -> plplot.pc.in

This reflects the fact that we have now with_double=yes in configure.ac.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv26299

Modified Files:
	configure.ac Makefile.am 
Log Message:

This is the brute force approach to get "make dist" to include (almost) all
the files that are present in a freshly checked out CVS tree.  The notable
exceptions are the directories cf/, new/, tmp/, and bindings/perl5. This was
essentially done by putting files in the EXTRA_DIST variable in the
Makefile.am files.

I really dislike this brute force method, but since we really need to make a
release soon, I see no way of doing otherwise.  I would prefer to take this
opportunity to remove some legacy cruft and to improve our installation in a
file-per-file basis.  For instance, in directory bindings/tcl, I added
blindly the files README.tclAPI and plitclgen to EXTRA_DIST, but it is clear
that they could be installed somewhere with "make install".  Same commentary
for the Python and Java stuff.  Since I am (almost) totally ignorant on
Python, Java and Tcl/Tk, I will really appreciate if competent developers
step in.

This cleanup + installation improvement discussion must take place in the
post-release times.

An aside note: the EXTRA_DIST variable (or the variables it uses) should not
be inside conditionals in Makefile.am, otherwise the distribution tarball
may be wrong.  This is not yet consistently done throughout the source tree.

given to configure.  The only relevant AM_CONDITIONAL (namely has_onsgmls)
has been moved outisde the test for enable_docbook in configure.ac.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv24857

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:

Implemented the check of programs and Perl modules necessary to build the
files in bindings/octave/plplot_octave_txt/.  The extension of the present
change is quite large, because the previous situations was quite
constraining.  Indeed, the checks for Perl modules were buried in
bindings/octave/configure.ac, which was included in configure.ac
conditionally on enable_docbook.

To make the idea work, I had to split bindings/octave/configure.ac into two
parts: the first one consisted of macro definitons, configure options
declarations and things alike, that can (and sometimes must) run
inconditionally.  This material has been moved into a new file called
bindings/octave/docbook.m4 (BTW, having two configure.ac in the source tree
was an aberration).

The second part consisted of the actual checks (for programs, DTDs, and Perl
modules), which should be run conditioanlly.  This material has been
inserted into configure.ac.

The specific tests for the Octave bindings regard the program Perl, and the
Perl modules XML::DOM and XML::Parser, which are used by api2text.pl to
build the text documentation files.  If the tests go okay, api2text.pl is
called in bindings/octave/Makefile.am, if needed.  Otherwise, thanks to the
new AM_CONDITIONAL has_xml_pm, if recompilation of the *.txt files is
needed, then the make and shows the error message:

    Perl modules not available: cannot generate plplot_octave_txt/*.txt

This has been tested in trivial cases, but must still be made bullet-proof.

Modified Files:

Log Message:

The logic for checking the swig verison number is correct now.  If the swig
program was unavailable, configure would die with:

    ./configure: line 12163: < 17: syntax error: operand expected (error 
    token is "< 17")

This fixes Debian Bug#184694.

Excerpt of acinclude.m4, regarding this change:

dnl ------------------------------------------------------------------------
dnl Make AC_OUTPUT smarter
dnl     CFFILES_SAVE
dnl     AC_OUTPUT
dnl     CFFILES_RESTORE_MAYBE
dnl The macros below prevent needless touching of <file> when AC_OUTPUT
dnl makes AC_SUBSTitution of <file>.in.  This will avoid unnecessary
dnl recompilations when <file> is in the list of dependencies in a Makefile
dnl rule. These macros should be put around the call to AC_OUTPUT.  They rely
dnl on the autoconf variable ac_config_files, set by the AC_CONFIG_FILES
dnl macro.
dnl
dnl Since this is an experimental feature, a new configure option is
dnl introduced (--enable-smart-ac-output) which defaults to "no".  Hence,
dnl without specifying this option, the behavior of configure is the same
dnl as before.

Alan, if this works as expected (and it does seem to work), then you can go
and change all my "sloppy style" dependencies in the Makefile.am files!

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv10266

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:

This is the implementation of Joao's idea: if the Octave prefix does not
coincide with the PLplot one, then the plplot_octave.oct file is installed
in the same directory of the .m scripts (PLPLOT_OCTAVE_DIR).  Otherwise, it
gets installed in the Octave versioned directory present already in the
system (${prefix}/libexec/octave/<version>/oct/<arch>).

This has the nice effect of really limiting the use of PLplot_Octave to the
version of Octave with which the bindings have been built.  I recently knew
that there are binary incompatibilities between the .oct files generated
with mkoctfile-2.1.36 and mkoctfile-2.1.46.

Modified Files:
	Makefile.am 
Log Message:

Added config.status to EXTRA_DIST list.  This is completely harmless in
normal operation (since this file is regenerated at each call to configure),
but its inclusion in the tarball is essential to avoid unneeded
recompilation of the docs.

Modified Files:
	configure.ac acinclude.m4 Makefile.am 
Log Message:

I think that I finally got right the avoidance of compilation of the DocBook
files after running configure.  There is now a new configure option, namely
--disable-docbook-build, which is set to "no" by default (the normal
behavior is thus preserved).  There is a new AM_CONDITIONAL (docbook_build,
defined in doc/docbook/docbook.m4) that controls building in
doc/docbook/src/Makefile.am. All my previous hacks involving AC_OUTPUT and
config.status are not needed anymore anmd have been removed from
configure.ac and acinclude.m4.  There is no need for including config.status
in the tarball, and its line has been removed from EXTRA_DIST in
Makefile.am.

Remove ability of user to modify PYTHON_INSTDIR.  This symbol is only

In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv11834

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:

Implementation of Alan's idea for better control of Docbook documentation
check/build.  The previous options --enable-docbook and
--enable-docbook-build have been replaced by:

  --enable-builddoc       Enable configuration checks and build of DocBook
                          documentation. Default value is "no".

  --with-prebuiltdoc      Assume that the DocBook documentation is already
                          built and present in doc/docbook/src, ready to be
                          installed. This option is useful for package
                          maintainers. Default value is "no".

Specifying both options at the same time is logically inconsistent and will
result in an error message with configure been stopped.

The implementation was quite straightforward, because I just wrapped the two
AM_CONDITIONALs enable_docbook and docbook_build around the two configure
options above.  

A nice improvement over the previous situation is that the Docbook checks
are not exercised when the docs are already present and needs only
installation (i.e. when using --with-prebuiltdoc).

action is taken, but this may be used in the future for disabling the
documentation building, since the make-GNUisms are not going to be removed
from doc/docbook/src/Makefile.am.

Log Message:
Made check for perl always occur in configure (at Alan's request).  I agree
that this seem necessary, since perl is called to build the tclAPI stuff in
the drivers/ directory.  I have never noticed that and found very strange
that we have this duplication of code in respect to bindings/tcl.  I am
almost sure that it must be an elegant way to avoid this duplication.

Also, for consistency, changed "perl" to "$(PERL)" in drivers/Makefile.am.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv28401

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:
This set of changes should fix some (if not all) of the remaining problems
with the tarball generation related to built files generated with Perl.  The
$PERL variable is now set the a warning message in configure.ac, such that
if Perl in not found by configure, make will not die furiously.  I hope I
traced down all the places where Perl scripts are invoked in the Makefile.am
files and I prepended $(PERL) to the calls.  There may be some others
remaining places still (excepted doc/docbook), though.

With the current changes, regular users building from the tarball do not
need Perl available in their systems in order to build and install PLplot.
The last problem that I noticed was with the generation of the
bindings/octave/plplot_octave_txt/*.txt files.  The doc-stamp target has
been brought outside the AM_CONDITIONAL enable_octave and the EXTRA_DIST
variable is not set conditionally anymore.

Also, fixed the macro CHECK_PORG in doc/docbook/docbook.m4, which is used to
detect the Perl program.  The variable PROG is now correctly set to the null
string if the program is not detected.

Unrelated to the above, a check for the libm is introduced before the check
of functions isinf, finite, and isnan.  This should fix the configure
problem in Alpha-OSF.
