[Plplot-general] Installing plplot under AIX

[Don S. <sp...@or...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile plplot 5.0.4 on an IBM-SP running AIX.  If I 
edit the Makefile (in /plplot/tmp) to use the GCC compiler, 
everything works fine.  However, since IBM's xlc compiler makes 
faster code, I would rather use that.  Unfortunately, xlc stumbles 
over some parts of pstex.c which use characters such as #'s and 
backslashes in writing out postscript commands:

plplot-5.0.4> make
         cd tmp; make default
         xlc -fpic -c -qcpluscmt -qdbcs             -I. pstex.c
"pstex.c", line 47.43: 1506-186 (S) String literal must be ended 
before the end of line.

"pstex.c", line 52.25: 1506-191 (E) The character # is not a valid C 
source character.

etc.


The lines in pstex.c that xlc finds offensive are, for example:

   fprintf(fp,"\\begin{picture}(0,0)(0,0)%%
\\includegraphics[scale=1.,clip]{%s}%%
\\end{picture}%%
\\setlength{\\unitlength}{%fbp}%%
\\begingroup\\makeatletter\\ifx\\SetFigFont\\undefined%%
\\gdef\\SetFigFont#1#2#3#4#5{%%
\\reset@font\\fontsize{#1}{#2pt}%%
\\fontfamily{#3}\\fontseries{#4}\\fontshape{#5}%%
\\selectfont}%%
\\fi\\endgroup%%\n",



   fprintf(fp,"\\put(%d,%d){\\rotatebox{%.1f}{\\makebox(0,0)[%c%c]
{\\SetFigFont{%.1f}{12}",
      args->x, args->y, alpha, jst, ref, ft_ht);


   fprintf(fp,"%% Your text follows:
%s
}}}}", cptr);


Any idea what I need to do to make this acceptable to the xlc compiler?

Hi,

The best advise I can give to you is to disable the pstex driver at=20
configure time issuing

=09./configure --disable-pstex <plus_other_options>

I will try to solve that problem as soon as I can.
Thanks,

Joao

I have corrected the pstex.c gccism constructs, testing with "gcc=20
-Wall -pedantic -ansi"! and I will CVS commit them soon.

However ntk.c has such constructs. I will not change them, as ntk.c=20
is still under dev.
