[Plplot-cvs] CVS update notice (plplot)

[Rafael L. <rla...@us...>]

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv10694

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:
Reordered some invocations of macros AC_MSG_CHECKING/AC_MSG_RESULT for the
Octave checks, such that these macros occur immediately after/before the
actual checks.  This should help me understand the nature of configure
errors on some Debian architectures.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv8394

Modified Files:
	bootstrap.sh 
Log Message:
Remove two lines from script (cp configure.in configure.ac and rm -f
configure.ac in the libltdl subdirectory) that were causing problems for 
libtool-1.5 (which has a file called configure.ac in this subdirectory).
I believe this change is still backwards-compatible with libtool-1.4.x,
but if not it should be possible to reinstate in a way that does not screw up
libtool-1.5.

Log Message:
AWI for Rafael Laboissiere: make bootstrap.sh still work with libtool-1.4
(although we should remove this as soon as we are all using libtool-1.5).

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv30056

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in configure.ac 
Log Message:
In sysloc.in, changed the list of directories to search for Python headers
(when setting the PYTHON_INC_DIR variable) to have just:

        $prefix/include/python$PYTHON_VERSION
        /usr/include/python$PYTHON_VERSION
		
instead of a long list of all possible Python versioned include dirs.

This change requires that the call to AM_PATH_PYTHON be made before 
AC_INCLUDE(sysloc.in), in configure.in.  

Also, an additional sanity check for non-emptiness of the PYTHON_VERSION
variable is added to sysloc.in, right at the beginning of the Python
configuration section.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv27125

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:
If a specific version of Python is present in the system, but the header
file has not be found in {$prefix,/usr}/include/python$PYTHON_VERSION/, then
the following loud warning message is issued:

configure: WARNING: Header file for Python version 2.3 has not been found.
configure: WARNING: This probably means that an appropriate Python
configure: WARNING: development package needs to be installed.

(Aside note: we should replace in configure.ac and sysloc.in all the
instances of AC_MSG_RESULT by AC_MSG_WARN, when warning messages are
issued.)

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:
Added /usr/include/tcl8.4* directories to the incdirs_default list.  Without
this, configure fails to find itcl.h and itk.h when PLplot is built against
itcl/itk 3.2 (at least in Debian).

Modified Files:
	bootstrap.sh configure.ac 
Log Message:
Created a new AC_SUBSTitutable variable RELEASE_DATE in configure.ac.  This
variable is automatically set in ISO 6801 formant (YYYY-MM-DD) by the
bootstrap.sh script when options --version or --date-version are specified.
For now, only plplotdoc.xml.in is using it, fixing that long-lasting bug in
the "Release date" of the documentation.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv30339

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:
Major change:

    * Added a AC_SUSTitutable variable called CPP_SOVERSION in configure.ac.
      This variable is used in option -version-info for setting the
      soversion of libplplotcxx in file bindings/c++/Makefile.am.
      
Minor changes (in configure.ac):

    * For consistency reason, set RELEASE_DATE=2003-04-22, the actual date
      of release 5.2.1.
      
    * Added some commentaries to the comments preceding the definition of
      SOVERSION.  In particular, the statements about the "secret" libtool
      code are not true.

Brought this file up to date with recent C++ improvements, other issues that
have become resolved, and new issues recognized since the last update.

Developers, please have a look at this file and edit it if you feel there
are issues that should be mentioned/dropped/rewritten.

On the whole, this file is getting gradually smaller which reflects the
patient and much-appreciated efforts of the developers to constantly improve
PLplot.

Modified Files:
	bootstrap.sh 
Log Message:
Added --force option to the call of libtoolize, forcing the file
ltmain.sh to be overwritten.  This is crucial when running bootstrap.sh with
a new version of Libtool in a non-fresh build tree.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv6053

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:
Made the output of the echo commands that appear before AC_INIT go to stderr
instead of stdout.  This fixes a bug during libtool configuration, since it
relies on a proper functioning of "./configure --fallback-echo" when trying
to determine the maximum command line length.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv18084

Modified Files:
	acinclude.m4 
Log Message:
Added the macro GET_DLNAME(STEM,VERSION_INFO,VARIABLE) to guess the dlname
of a library to be installed by libtool.

For instance, if the following code is used in configure.ac:

    GET_DLNAME([plplottcltk$LIB_TAG], [$SOVERSION], [DLNAME_TCL])
    echo $DLNAME_TCL
	
it will produce:

    libplplottcltkd.so.5
	    
Notice that the code above will work only if placed after the call to
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL and the definitions of $SOVERSION and $LIB_TAG.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv5884

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:
Use Rafael's new GET_DLNAME macro to determine the following dlnames:
DLNAME_LIBPLPLOT, DLNAME_LIBPLPLOTD, DLNAME_LIBPLPLOTTCLTK, and
DLNAME_LIBPLPLOTTCLTKD.  These library dlnames are used to configure the
various bindings/*/pkgIndex.tcl scripts.  Note the scripts currently require
both the single and double-precision names.

Drop LIBRARY_VERSION which is no longer used in these scripts.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv15983

Modified Files:
	acinclude.m4 
Log Message:
The robustness of the macro has been improved.  If GET_DLNAME is called
before AC_LIBTOOL_PROG, the configure script will exit now with an
appropriate error message.  This is not intended for general users, but only
for developers who make changes to configure.ac.

Some comments about the last changes done by Alan:

In the GET_DLNAME macro, $LD was changed to $CC as the command when invoking
libtool --mode=link. Actually, the name of this command is irrelevant to the
actions taken by the libtool script.  However, in version 1.5 (or 1.5.0a) of
libtool, the name is used to guess a "tagged configuration", in case the
option --tag has not been specified.  Using $LD would then trigger an error.
I hope that this macro will be portable across different platforms. The
future will tell us.

Log Message:
Change $LD to $CC in Rafael's new GET_DLNAME macro.  $LD caused "tag" errors
for my particular brand of libtool-1.5 while $CC is fine.

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv22992

Modified Files:
	configure.ac 
Log Message:
Quick hack to avoid garbage being stored in the reconfig script when
configure is called recursively with the --fallback-echo option (for
instance, this happens for the checks of maximum command length by the
libtool configuration).

This problem made surface now that we decided to use Libtool 1.5 instead of
1.4.  However, it could have arisen before, because the --falback option and
the implicit rule that the configure script can be called recursively using
this option have always been present in autoconf. In sum, we might try in
the future to restructure configure.ac, in particular rethinking about the
non-orthodox stuff before AC_INIT.  

At any rate, the generation of the reconfig script has been superseded by
"./config.status --recheck".

Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv14242

Modified Files:
	sysloc.in 
Log Message:
In the check for the Swig version, removed code for sed that was too GNUish.
The check could now be much more portable.

Also, Added a pair of AC_MSG_CHECKING/AC_MSG_RESULT around the version
number check.  In the configure output, something like this will appear now:

    checking Swig version... 1.3.17u-20021128-1508

[ This makes me remember that we should add similar things at some other
  places in configure.ac and sysloc.in.  I have also spotted some improper 
  uses of AC_MSG_RESULT, but this will be fixed when time permits. ]
  
Finally, the robustness of the code has been improved.  In particular, if
something went wrong with the setting of teh variable SWIG_VERSION_MICRO,
then configure choked when doing an arithmetic expansion $(( ... )).  This
is fixed now.
