============== Changelog ==============
2003-10-05 01:42 rlaboiss
* lib/csa/Makefile.am: Removed csa_internal.h from EXTRA_DIST.
2003-10-04 23:05 airwin
* drivers/README.drivers: This is the long-promised update of this
basic documentation file for writing device drivers for PLplot.
2003-10-04 22:29 jcard
* lib/nn/Makefile.am, lib/nn/delaunay.c, lib/nn/delaunay.h,
lib/nn/hash.c, lib/nn/hash.h, lib/nn/linear.c, lib/nn/lpi.c,
lib/nn/nan.h, lib/nn/nn.h, lib/nn/nnai.c, lib/nn/nncommon.c,
lib/nn/nnpi.c, lib/nn/version.h, src/plgridd.c: Update to nn
version 1.38
2003-10-04 22:25 jcard
* lib/csa/csa_internal.h: Not needed in csa version 0.22
2003-10-04 22:24 jcard
* lib/csa/: csa.c, csa.h, nan.h, version.h: Update to csa version
0.22
2003-10-04 19:53 airwin
* examples/: c/Makefile.examples.in, c++/Makefile.examples.in,
f77/Makefile.examples.in, tk/Makefile.examples.in: Put in EXEEXT
(executable extension) support for those platforms like Cygwin that
require it. Also, make the clean and all targets identical.
2003-10-04 14:08 airwin
* examples/c/Makefile.examples.in: rm ==> rm -f
2003-10-03 18:28 airwin
* bindings/c++/plstream.cc: AWI for Andrew Ross
<an...@co...>. Correct problem with too many
lines commented out while removing the plinit() calls from the
plstream constructor. This two-line change to the API does not
affect the current examples, but according to Andrew does affect
other programmes using the PLplot C++ API.
2003-10-02 08:47 airwin
* Makefile.am: Bug fix for changed way we now handle libltdl. Only
do libltdl directory for case when dyndrivers are enabled.
2003-10-01 23:05 airwin
* bindings/java/README.javaAPI: Update documentation to reflect
building of installed java examples that now occurs automatically
and the new installed location for the module (DLL) for the java
PLplot interface.
2003-10-01 22:52 airwin
* bindings/java/Makefile.am: Complete reorganization following what
is done for ../../bindings/python/Makefile.am.
Note that install-exec-hook: is now used to compile all the
installed java files rather than compiling them in a local
directory underneath bindings/java before installation, and this
reduces a lot of clutter that was occurring before.
Another notable change is the java module that interfaces to PLplot
is no longer built like a full-blown library with a version number,
precision tag, etc. with installation into $prefix/lib with
appropriate version number symlinks. Instead, it is built
similarly to the python module and installed in the location where
the core java and compiled class files are installed.
2003-10-01 22:41 airwin
* bindings/java/: PLStreamc.java, config.java.in: For
PLStreamc.java, change from
System.loadLibrary( plplot.core.config.libname );
to
System.load( plplot.core.config.libname );
The former requires setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/Unix systems
(ugh, that is old-fashioned!).
The latter requires an absolute path name + exact name of
dynamically loaded module which is setup in configure.ac and
configured using config.java.in.
Yipee! No more setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is required for PLplot
java use!
2003-10-01 22:29 airwin
* configure.ac: * Only do libltdl related actions if dyndrivers is
enabled.
* Define AC_SUBSTituted variables JAVA_INSTDIR and
PLPLOTJAVAC_WRAP_DLL for the absolute path of the Java install
location, and the name of the module for interfacing java to PLplot
that is (now) installed in that location.
2003-10-01 22:22 airwin
* acinclude.m4: Add another macro, GET_DLLNAME, for getting the
name for dynamically loaded libraries (modules). This macro has
largely been copied from GET_DLNAME. On many systems the name for
modules is just simply namestem.so, but we cannot assume that for
all Unix platforms.
2003-10-01 22:12 airwin
* bindings/python/README.pythonbuild: Tweak wording to reflect Mac
OS X success.
2003-10-01 22:10 airwin
* bindings/python/Makefile.am: Drop -no-undefined from LDFLAGS for
the creation of the module that will be dynamically loaded by
python. It makes no sense to resolve every reference at link time
since python will be supplying the references to the python library
names at dynamic load time. (Thanks to Rob Managan for his Mac OS X
error report on this issue.)
2003-10-01 22:03 airwin
* examples/java/README.javademos: Update documentation reflecting
the automatic build of the examples by make install.
2003-10-01 21:59 airwin
* test/test_java.sh: Update commentary.
2003-10-01 21:54 airwin
* examples/java/Makefile.am: Compile java examples after
installation. This is contrary to what we do for our other
compiled language examples, but seems consistent with what is
normally done for distribution of java software.
2003-10-01 21:50 airwin
* examples/c++/Makefile.am: $(LN_S) must be preceded by rm -f.
(Thanks to Rob Managan for his error report concerning this issue.)
2003-10-01 21:38 airwin
* doc/docbook/: docbook.m4, src/Makefile.am: As discussed on the
list deal with SourceForge username consistently both for configure
time using the --with-www-user=NAME option and at make time
overriding the WWW_USER variable using
make WWW_USER=NAME
Previously, overriding the make variable required a trailing @ in
the NAME, but now NAME is treated identically in both cases with no
trailing @ required.
2003-10-01 12:58 rlaboiss
* configure.ac, include/plConfig.h.in: Better wording in comment
for PL_DOUBLE
The comment preceeding #define PL_DOUBLE is now clearer. Thanks to
Arjen Markus <arj...@wl...> for the suggestion.

A new CVS snapshot distribution tarball for PLplot is available at the usual
place:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html
The tarball name is plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031019.tar.gz. It was generated in a
Debian unstable system with the following versions of the GNU autotools:
Autoconf 2.57
Automake 1.7.8
Libtool 1.5.0a
You will find below the changelog of the recent changes in CVS (generated
with the command: cvs2cl -l "-d'2003-10-06<'").
Please, test and report.

============== Changelog ==============
2003-10-17 15:16 rlaboiss
* debian/changelog: Debian release 5.2.1-20
2003-10-17 14:16 rlaboiss
* configure.ac: Put AC_CHECK_LIB(ltdl, ...) outside the
with_ltdlsystem conditional
For some mysterious reason, when the AC_CHECK_LIB was put inside
the conditional 'if test "$with_ltdlsystem" = no', configure was
failing with the error message: conditional "AMDEP" was never
defined. This should be fixed now.
Please, test this change.
2003-10-16 13:22 rlaboiss
* debian/: changelog, control, rules: Preparation for Debian
release 5.2.1-20
This will be uploaded to unstable only after version 5.2.1-19 had
hit the testing distribution.
From debian/changelog:
* Following a suggestion of Matthias Klose
<do...@cs...>, the
libltdl library shipped with the upstream sources is not
compiled
anymore as a convenience library:
- Imported configure.ac and Makefile.am from upstream CVS
that
implement the confgiure option --with-ltdlsystem,
allowing the use
of the installed libltdl library.
- debian/control: Build-depends on libltdl3-dev.
- debian/rules: Call configure with option
--with-ltdlsystem.
* debian/control:
- Fixed description of libplplot-dev package.
- Bumped the build-dependency on debhelper to version
4.1.67, since we
are using dh_python (thanks again to Matthias Klose for
pointing
this out).
2003-10-16 13:13 rlaboiss
* configure.ac: Cosmetic changes
Removed an obsolete comment about AM_PROG_LIBTOOL and added
AC_HELP_STRING in MY_ARG_WITH(pthreads, ...).
2003-10-16 12:43 rlaboiss
* Makefile.am, configure.ac: Better logic for use of system's
libltdl
The decision about when to use the libltdl library is improved.
Now, the default is to always compiled the shipped libtool's
libltdl as a convenience library, unless the user explicitly give
the option --with-ltdlsystem to configure. When this option is
given, confgiure checks if the libltdl library is actually
installed. If not, it falls back to the convenience compilation
case.
Alan, if you are hearing this, could you please comment?
2003-10-16 03:06 jcard
* src/plcore.c: plInBuildTree() is always needed, move out of
conditional ENABLE_DYNDRIVERS
2003-10-16 02:05 rlaboiss
* Makefile.am, configure.ac: Allow use of installed libltdl
A Debian fellow pointed out to me that there is no need to
compile the libltdl support when building the PLplot Debian
packages, since there is a libltdl3 package against which
libplplot can be linked.
In order to be able to disable configuration/compilation of the
libltdl support, I did the following changes:
* In configure.ac, AC_LIBTOOL_CONVENIENCE and
AC_LIBTOOL_INSTALLABLE are
called conditionally on the presence of an installed
libltdl (using
AC_CHECK_LIB).
* In order to avoid config/build of the libltdl directory,
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libltdl) is called conditionally as well.
Also, in
Makefile.am, the libltdl directory is included
conditionally on the
(newly created) AM_CONDITIONAL variable
enable_ltdl_convenience.
[N.B.: I changed the code for setting the SUBDIRS variable
in
Makefile.am using the automake append (+=) operator,
instead of using
the auxiliary variable drivers_src_dirs as before.]
If the user has libltdl installed in the system but wants to use
the version shipped with PLplot, she can override the configure
check by giving the --enable-ltdl-convenience option (this needs
further tests, though).
The advantage of using the system's libltdl are:
* Configuration time is reduced, since the libltdl dir does
not need to
be configured.
* Build time is also reduced, for a similar reason.
* The size of the resulting libplplot library is around 10%
smaller (at
least in Linux).
2003-10-15 23:36 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/Makefile.am: Fixed problem with sed option -i
Option -i of the sed command is quite useful, because it allows
files to be edited in-place. It is too bad that GNU sed older
than version 4 do not support this feature. Since this should be
the case for general sed's, the use of option -i was replaced by
an ugly (but working) code using a temporary file.
2003-10-15 23:31 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/gen-pc-files.sh: Added some output messages
In the for loop, messages like "Generated plplot(...).pc" are now
echoed. This will help to diagnose problems in the future.
Also, some small reformatting of the code was done.
2003-10-15 22:53 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/gen-pc-files.sh: Added missing double quote in sed command
This fixes the 'command substitution: unexpected EOF while
looking for matching "' bug. Quite interesting, this error
message is only triggered when /bin/sh is bash. Other Bourne
shells like ash and dash accept happily this "syntax error".
2003-10-11 19:48 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/: Makefile.am, README: Fixed parsing of -L... entries in
dependency_libs
The -L... entries were incorrectly parsed in the
install-data-hook rule and disappeared from the Libs lines in the
*.pc files. The documentation README is updated to reflect this
fix.
2003-10-11 15:40 rlaboiss
* configure.ac, pkgcfg/Makefile.am, pkgcfg/README,
pkgcfg/gen-pc-files.sh, pkgcfg/plplot-float.pc.in,
pkgcfg/plplot-master-pc.in, pkgcfg/plplot.pc.in: Total redesign
of the pkg-config support for PLplot
Read the pkgcfg/README file for details.
2003-10-11 10:20 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/: Makefile.am, plplot-float.pc.in, plplot.pc.in:
pkg-config gives now complete list of dependency libraries
This is a first try to have "pkg-config plplot --libs" working
correctly in a cross-platform way. For that, the complete list
of dependency libraries flags (-l*) must be included into
plplot.pc and plplot-float.pc.
This information is already available in the
src/.libs/libplplot*.lai files. These files are parsed in the
install-data-hook rule of pkgcfg/Makefile.am in a similar way the
plplot_libtool script does at run time. However, this is done at
install time.
This is now the result I am having in Linux (must be also tested
in other platform):
$ pkg-config plplot --libs
-lplplotd -lfreetype -lz -lcsirocsa -lcsironn -lqhull -lm
-ldl
2003-10-10 20:57 airwin
* scripts/plplot-config.in: Update and partial redesign of
plplot-config, a simplified wrapper for plplot_libtool if you
don't want to use the power of that script directly.
* fixed bugs where it failed for libtool-1.5 (a linker must be
specified), and also failed for --with-c++ (wrongly named
library).
* introduce --with-f77 and --with-tcl options
* non-cumulative library modes. The idea here is you ordinarily
only tell plplot_libtool about libplplot, and it figures out the
correct link options for the local platform based on that.
However, there are some additional mutually exclusive options a
user can specify:
--with-c++, --with-f77, or --with-tcl.
If you specify any of those additional switches you tell
plplot_libtool only about the appropriate library (libplplotcxx
for --with-c++, libplplotf77 for --with-f77, and libplplottcltk
for --with-tcl), and it determines the correct link options for
your local platform. The above switches should be mutually
exclusive, but my scripting skills aren't up to checking for that
(help, please!), but for now I settled for an increasing order of
precedence being in the above order (so anything lower on the
list means anything above is ignored).
2003-10-10 20:26 jcard
* examples/: tcl/README.tcldemos, tk/README.tkdemos: Adjust to show
how to run the demos in the build tree.
2003-10-10 20:26 jcard
* bindings/: tcl/pkgIndex.tcl.in, tk/pkgIndex.tcl.in,
tk-x-plat/pkgIndex.tcl.in: Fix to enable the demos to be run in
the build tree.
2003-10-10 15:17 rlaboiss
* pkgcfg/: plplot-float.pc.in, plplot.pc.in: Fixed Libs and Cflags
entries
Added "/plplot" to the includedir variable, such that there is no
need to explicitly #include <plplot/...> in user programs (this
is the case for the C and C++ examples shiped with PLplot).
Also, removed -DPL_DOUBLE from Cflags (this was producing
compilation warnings, since PL_DOUBLE is already defined in
plConfig.h) and removed @FREETYPELIBCMD@ from Libs. All the
dependecy libraries of libplplot are guessed by the default
linker of Linux. I am not sure this will work like this in other
Unices. More work is needed here.
At any rate, compilation of the C examples work correctly now
with:
gcc `pkg-config plplot --cflags` x01c.c -o x01c `pkg-config
plplot --libs`
2003-10-10 10:45 rlaboiss
* include/plConfig.h.in: Removed #undef *_DIR
The *_DIR #defines are only needed in plConfg.h, which is
included in user programs. These #defines are only needed at
build time by the core functions of the PLplot library. Since
they are already included in config.h (thanks to the
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED calls in configure.ac) and this later file is
included by plConfig.h at build time, then they can be deleted
from plConfig.h.in.
2003-10-09 23:08 airwin
* bindings/java/Makefile.am, bindings/java/README.javaAPI,
examples/java/Makefile.am, examples/java/README.javademos,
test/test_java.sh: Change java install procedure so that
CLASSPATH is not required. This solves the configuration problem
we were discussing.
Also drop all mention of CLASSPATH in the documentation except
where relevant; i.e., only at the time when you execute the
installed compiled java examples.
2003-10-09 23:02 jcard
* configure.ac, include/plConfig.h.in: Create and set BUILD_DIR.
2003-10-09 23:00 jcard
* src/plcore.c, src/plctrl.c, bindings/tcl/tclAPI.c: If the current
directory is in the build tree, change files search order so as
to load them locally.
The modifications guarantee that files/drivers/scripts are loaded
from the build tree if the current directory is somewhere in the
build tree.
The objective is that one should be able to change/test/evaluate
PLplot without the necessity of installing it; recently this was
needed (and for some front ends it still is), requiring the user
to have a separate directory to test/change/evaluate PLplot,
which means two steps of configure/make, one with the test
--prefix and the other with the final one, which is confusing and
error prone. Also, for developpers, the make/make install step
turns the development cycle sloww and boring.
All the compiled front-ends, C, C++ and F77, was tested and work
OK with all drivers. The Tcl and Tk front-ends also work OK, but
the tk loadable extensions, Pltk and Plplotter, as well as the
tcl extension Pltcl, still need adjustments in the pkgIndex.tcl
script.
The Octave front-end also works OK.
Python and Java was not yet tested.
This is not yet finish, as some problems might yet appear;
however, care has been taken to guarantee that the old behavior
still works OK.
tclAPI.c: PLbasicInit(): search the init script in the build
tree pls_auto_path(): add bindings/tk to auto_path
plcore.c: add plInBuildTree() that check if the current
directory in within the build source tree plGetDriverDir(): if
in the build tree, load the drivers locally
plctrl.c: plFindCommand(): if in the build tree, search
locally plLibOpenPdfstrm(): if in the build tree, search
locally
2003-10-08 19:19 rlaboiss
* sysloc.in: Reintroduced deleted AC_MSG_RESULT in Nan awareness
test
Also, the logic of the test is fixed now. Strangely, the last
commit made AC_RUN_IFELSE have only two arguments, instead of
three. Besides that, the test must return 1 in case of failure
and not 0 as was the case. I did minimal tests, but evrything
seems to work now.
2003-10-08 18:37 jcard
* sysloc.in: Reformating of "Check for NaN awareness" test, to
avoid using another variable.
2003-10-08 17:22 rlaboiss
* sysloc.in: Surrounded NaN awareness test with
AC_MSG_CHECKING/RESULT
Configure shows now: "checking for NaN awareness in C compiler...
yes". Please change the message text if it is not appropriate.
2003-10-08 16:51 jcard
* sysloc.in: Make test on simple NaN operations
libscirocsa/nn can only be compiled if the OS/C compiler is NaN
aware. If this test fails they are disabled. For this test to
suceed, the correct CFLAGS must be passed to the C compiler.
2003-10-08 16:15 jcard
* examples/c/x21c.c: The #, as in #define, should be in the first
column, as Compaq C complains.
2003-10-08 15:51 rlaboiss
* examples/: c/Makefile.examples.in, c++/Makefile.examples.in:
Added CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
The CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables have been added to the calls of
plplot_libtool in examples/c/Makefile and examples/c++/Makefile,
respectively. They get their values from the AC_SUBST variables
of same name.
2003-10-08 15:48 rlaboiss
* sysloc.in: Added -mieee to CXXFLAGS when neeeded.
Setting the CXXFLAGS variable seems to be necessary for compiling
the C++ examples on the Alpha architecture, even when the -mieee
option is only needed for compiling the libcsirocsa and
libcsironn libraries.
2003-10-08 11:17 mlebrun
* drivers/: tk.c, tkwin.c, xwin.c: Removed references to plsc --
drivers should use pls, which is passed in. Also minor
formatting fixes.
2003-10-07 18:23 rlaboiss
* configure.ac: Avoid abortion of configure when python is not
found
Redefine AC_MSG_ERROR as AC_MSG_WARN around the call to
AM_PATH_PYTHON, such that if python is not found, configure will
not stop.

A new CVS snapshot distribution tarball for PLplot is available at the usual
place:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html
The tarball name is plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031027.tar.gz. The changes in
relation to the last CVS tarball (released one week ago) are quite minimal.
The tarball was generated in a Debian unstable system with the following
versions of the GNU autotools:
Autoconf 2.57
Automake 1.7.8
Libtool 1.5.0a
You will find below the changelog of the recent changes in CVS (generated
with the command: cvs2cl -l "-d'2003-10-17<'").
Please, test and report.
Notice that this tarball will be used in the forthcoming release of the
Debian packages. This means that I will abandon the Debian series 5.2.1-*
in favor of the 5.2.1.cvs.*-* series. In concrete terms, this means that
the Debian packages in the testing distribution will be actually the
"release candidates" for the next version of PLplot (probably 5.2.2). The
presence of the CVS snapshot version inDebian will help us in the testing
cycle of the next release of PLplot.

============== Changelog ==============
2003-10-27 08:48 rlaboiss
* debian/rules: Fixed "--with-pthread" -> "--with-pthreads" in call
to configure.
2003-10-27 08:46 rlaboiss
* scripts/make-cvs-tarball.sh: Made make-cvs-tarball script more
robust to premature exit.
Added a cleanup function that is called for the trapped signals
0, HUP, QUIT, INT, TERM, and PIPE. This insures that the
temporary directory $CVSTMPDIR is removed at exit. Also, a
caveat note is added at the comments on the top of the file.
2003-10-26 16:07 rlaboiss
* bootstrap.sh: Call aclocal in libltdl directory.
This insures that the aclocal.m4 files in both the topdir and the
libltdl directory are generated with by same version of Automake
and no errors regarding incompatible calls of AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION
will happen.
2003-10-26 05:37 airwin
* examples/f77/x05f.fm4: AWI for Arjen Markus plus significant
changes of my own as well. Update fifth standard fortran example
so it produces results consistent with results for other language
interfaces. diff of postscript results showed no difference with
c result for example.
2003-10-26 05:23 airwin
* examples/f77/x03f.fm4: AWI for Arjen Markus. Minore update of
third standard fortran example so it avoids deprecated plcol API
and replaces by plcol0 instead. More work required, however,
before it will produce results consistent with results for other
language interfaces.
2003-10-26 05:17 airwin
* examples/f77/x02f.fm4: AWI for Arjen Markus. Update second
standard fortran example so it produces results consistent with
results for other language interfaces. diff of postscript
results showed no difference with c result for example.
2003-10-26 03:55 airwin
* examples/f77/: Makefile.am, x17f.fm4, x18f.fm4, x19f.fm4: Initial
commit of contributed standard examples from Arjen Markus with
some changes by AWI to allow them to compile. x17f and x19f
don't link (so must use, e.g, make -k check for now to compile
rest of examples) because of missing fortran API. x18f actually
links and gives almost the correct standard results for example
18, but "almost" means there is probably an API problem to deal
with there.
2003-10-26 02:49 airwin
* examples/f77/: Makefile.am, fmacs.m4, x01f.fm4, x02f.fm4,
x03f.fm4, x04f.fm4, x05f.fm4, x06f.fm4, x07f.fm4, x08f.fm4,
x09f.fm4, x10f.fm4, x11f.fm4, x12f.fm4, x13f.fm4, x16f.fm4: Drop
single-precision support for examples for now. I intend to
re-instate it later with a sed script. The *.fm4 are now a
misnomer (probably the name should be changed to *.fdouble or
something, but I have to think about it) since they are no longer
processed by m4. Instead, these files are filled by straight
double-precision fortran (with no embedded m4 commands) and
simply copied to *.f.
2003-10-24 20:31 jcard
* configure.ac: Disable dynamic drivers if enable_shared != yes
If the user don't want (or the system is not capable of) to build
shared libraries, then disable dynamic drivers, as they are
dynamically loaded objects.
This must to be done after AM_PROG_LIBTOOL. There is a test
if test "$enable_dyndrivers" = "yes" above that should, if
possible, be put after this test.
2003-10-23 11:48 rlaboiss
* debian/: changelog, rules: Debian release 5.2.1-21
From the debian/changelog file:
* sysloc.in: Applied patch from upstream CVS that assigns an
unversioned
path to OCTAVE_OCT_DIR.
* debian/rules:
- Loosen the restriction on the Octave version dependency,
now that
OCTAVE_OCT_DIR is unversioned.
- Configure with --with-pthreads, such that the xwin driver
refreshes
the plot when the window is moved or re-exposed.

* sysloc.in: Unversioned path for Octave oct dir
The OCTAVE_OCT_DIR variable is not versioned anymore (i.e. it
does not contain the Octave version 2.*.* in it). This parallels
what is done for the OCT_M_DIR variable. OCTAVE_OCT_DIR takes it
value from the octave_config_info structure, being either
localoctfiledir (for Octave version 2.1.*) or the first component
of localoctfilepath (version 2.0.*).
The advantage of this change is that the Octave bindings are not
tied to a specific version of Octave, and will continue to be
visible if the user upgrades Octave. Remember though that there
is no guarantee of backward compatibility of the *.oct API within
the unstable series of Octave (2.1.*).

* drivers/gnome.c: Use HAVE_PTHREAD instead of USE_THREADS
This means that pthreads support will be activated in the gnome
driver whenever the --with-pthreads option is given to configure.

* debian/changelog: Debian release 5.2.1-20
2003-10-17 14:16 rlaboiss
* configure.ac: Put AC_CHECK_LIB(ltdl, ...) outside the
with_ltdlsystem conditional
For some mysterious reason, when the AC_CHECK_LIB was put inside
the conditional 'if test "$with_ltdlsystem" = no', configure was
failing with the error message: conditional "AMDEP" was never
defined. This should be fixed now.
Please, test this change.

A new CVS snapshot distribution tarball for PLplot is available at the usual
place:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html
The tarball name is plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031030.tar.gz. The main change in
this tarball in respect to the previous one (20031027) is the SOVERSION in
configure.ac. The libraries will have (in Linux) the soversion 9 now,
instead of 5 as previously. The Debian packages will be renamed as a
consequence of this.
The tarball was generated in a Debian unstable system with the following
versions of the GNU autotools:
Autoconf 2.57
Automake 1.7.8
Libtool 1.5.0a
You will find below the changelog of the recent changes in CVS (generated
with the command: cvs2cl -l "-d'2003-10-27<'").
Please, test and report. We are heading towards the next release of PLplot,
and this tarball can be considered as a "pre-candidate-release" one.

* debian/: changelog, rules: Debian release
plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031027-3.
From the debian/changelog file:
* debian/rules:
- Added symlinks /usr/lib/lib{nn,csa}.so.0, such that this
release of
the libplplot5 package does not break binary compatiblity
with previous
released versions of PLplot (closes: #217895). This is an
interim
solution. Probably, the upstream authors will have to
change the
soversion or revert the changing of names of the
libscsiro{nn,csa}
libraries in order to get the problem cleanly fixed.
- Call configure with --disable-java, since enable_java has
been made
the default in the upstream configure.ac.
2003-10-29 14:46 rlaboiss
* debian/TODO: Marked all tasks as "DONE".
I just realized that this list of ToDo tasks is finished now. I
am keeping this file here out of historical interest.
2003-10-29 14:38 rlaboiss
* configure.ac: Upgraded SOVERSION to 9:0:0.
This is necessary since the recent changes in the naming of the
libraries libnn -> libcsironn and libcsa -> libcsirocsa have
broke backward binary compatibility for the PLplot library.
2003-10-29 14:10 rlaboiss
* examples/c/lena.pgm: Dummy commit to get the sticky -kb option
(hopefully).
No changes have been made to this file.
2003-10-29 13:47 rlaboiss
* debian/control: Changed the build-dependency for GD library.
Instead of using the "transitional" package libgd2-dev, use the
explicit dependencies to the real packages (libgd2-noxpm-dev |
libgd2-xpm-dev).
2003-10-28 17:16 vincentdarley

* debian/: changelog, control, libplplot5.README.Debian, rules:
Debian release 5.2.1.cvs.20031027-1.
From the debian/changelog file:
* New CVS snapshot upstream release. This release is actually
quite
close to the latest Debian 5.2.1-21, since I have been
tracking CVS
developments since the upstream release 5.2.1. One of
biggest
advantages of this move is the enourmous reduction in the
size of the
diff.gz file:
du -b plplot*diff*
2686036 ../plplot_5.2.1-21.diff.gz
10198 ../plplot_5.2.1.cvs.20031027-1.diff.gz
This huge difference is due to the patched documentation file
and the
necessity of an uuencoded file for the Debian packages.
* debian/rules: Removed all manipulations (targets "build" and
"clean") related to the plplot-5.2.1-new-doc.tar.gz.uu file,
which is
not included in the source package anymore. Also, added flag
-k to
make distclean.
* debian/control: Removed build-dependency on sharutils.
* debian/libplplot5.README.Debian: Added note about pkg-config
support.
2003-10-27 11:18 rlaboiss
* bindings/tk/Makefile.am: Added tclIndex to the CLEANFILES list.
2003-10-27 11:17 rlaboiss

Hello! I just would like to report the success for building this plplot distribution on my system ALTLinux Sisiphus. I rebuild the yplot for new version as well. Every example there works as expected. plot_test.sh successfully generated postscripts files for c, octave-2.1.50 and python-2.2. Thanks to plplot team!

A new CVS snapshot distribution tarball for PLplot is available at the usual
place:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html
The tarball name is plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031226.tar.gz. It was generated in a
Debian unstable system with the following versions of the GNU autotools:
Autoconf 2.58
Automake 1.7.9
Libtool 1.5.0a
Several changes and bug fixes since the last cvs distribution tarball
(tagged 20031030) are included, but I think that the two most important
improvements are the extension of the Fortran bindings API (done by Alan),
and the inclusion of demos for the Perl/PDL bindings.
You will find below the changelog of the recent changes in CVS, generated
with the cvsreport utility.
Please, test and report. As with the previous ones, this tarball can be
considered as a "pre-candidate-release" for the next official version of
PLplot. I am looking forward to strengthening our occupation in different
niches like Fortran and Perl/PDL bindings (I hope to catch up with the
upcoming PDL 2.4.1 release), as well as among users of Mac OS X.

plplot debian/changelog 1.55
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 17:15 CET)

Fixed typo in regular expression for parsing AC_INIT command.
plplot debian/get-upstream-version.pl 1.3
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 17:08 CET)
--------------------
Disabled inclusion of drivers/*.rc in the distribution tarball
Revert the previous changes regarding includion of the drivers/*.rc files
into the tarball, because a .rc file depend on the .la file, which gets
built with "make" by the user. The result is that the *.rc and get-drv-info
are built anyway.
I will think later on a better way to include the *.rc files in the tarball.
plplot drivers/Makefile.am 1.33
plplot scripts/make-cvs-tarball.sh 1.10
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 16:06 CET)
--------------------
Modernized some Autotools constructs
The following old-style calls in configure.ac:
AC_INIT(src/plcore.c)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(plplot, 5.2.1)
have been modernized to:
AC_INIT(plplot, 5.2.1, plp...@li...)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/plcore.c)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
(see "info autoconf" and "info automake" for details).
The three scripts that parsed configure.ac and relied on the old-style call
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE have been changed accordingly.
plplot configure.ac 1.118
plplot bootstrap.sh 1.26
plplot debian/get-upstream-version.pl 1.2
plplot scripts/check-tarball-cvs.sh 1.3
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 15:31 CET)
--------------------
Disabled generation of reconfig script by configure
As per our discussion in plplot-devel in September 2003 (and since Maurice
agreed), the section in configure.ac responsible for the generation of the
reconfig script is removed. The command "./config.status --recheck" has the
same effect (i.e. calling configure with the previously specified options).
In order to keep the functionality for the fingers too used to type
"./reconfig", a one-line shell script called reconfig has been added to the
repository.
Also, added reconfig to the EXTRA_DIST variable in the top-dir Makefile.am,
such that the script gets included into the distribution tarball.
plplot configure.ac 1.117
+ plplot reconfig 1.1
plplot Makefile.am 1.30
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 15:14 CET)
--------------------
Include most drivers/*.rc files in the distribution tarball
The goal of this change is to avoid the building of the drivers/*.rc files
by the users by including them into the distribution tarball. This also
avoids the building of the get-drv-info utility when running "make" from the
tarball.
The price paid for this improvement on the user's side is that "make" is
needed before "make dist" (see scripts/make-cvs-tarball.sh). This happens
because get-drv-info needs libplplot, which needs libcsirocsa and libcsironn
in turn. Also, libltdl needs to be built.
Since this change only affects the tarball construction and since the price
paid is too small compared with the gain obtained, I decided to implement
the new behavior. If anybody objects, please let us discuss in plplot-devel.
plplot scripts/make-cvs-tarball.sh 1.9
plplot drivers/Makefile.am 1.32
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-26 12:58 CET)
--------------------
Fixed debug and error messages.
In function plOpenFile, the message "Opened <filename>" is sent now through
pldebug. This means that it will not spuriously appear on stderr anymore,
but will be issued when option -debug is specified. Also, the message
"Can't open <filename>" is sent now to stderr instead of stdout.
In function plLibOpenPdfstr, two calls to pldebug are fixed now (called with
two argments instead of three).
plplot src/plctrl.c 1.74
Commit from airwin (2003-12-25 01:14 CET)
------------------
* Change so that file device result is visually identical with corresponding
C example result. diff shows that file device results still sometimes
disagree in last digit with corresponding C example (presumbably due to
16-bit rendering issues).
* Style changes: comments, do loops, indentation, and plcol ==> plcol0.
plplot examples/f77/x07f.fm4 1.8
Commit from airwin (2003-12-25 00:48 CET)
------------------
* Style changes: comments, do loops, indentation, and plcol ==> plcol0.
File device result still disagree with corresponding C example. java
results also disagree (both with c and f77) for this example. I believe
all these differences would disappear for higher resolution 32-bit rendering
as opposed to the current 16-bit rendering we now use for all devices.
plplot examples/f77/x06f.fm4 1.8
Commit from airwin (2003-12-24 23:25 CET)
------------------
* Style changes: comments, do loops, and indentation. File device result
still agrees with corresponding C example.
plplot examples/f77/x05f.fm4 1.9
Commit from airwin (2003-12-24 21:09 CET)
------------------
* Change so that gives identical file device result to corresponding C example.
* Stylistic changes: comments, do loops, indentation, plcol ==> plcol0.
plplot examples/f77/x04f.fm4 1.8
Commit from airwin (2003-12-24 20:33 CET)
------------------
* Change so that gives identical file device result to C example.
* Stylistic changes: comments, do loops, and indentation.
plplot examples/f77/x03f.fm4 1.9
Commit from airwin (2003-12-24 02:16 CET)
------------------
Style improvements: enddo, indentation ==> still produces identical file
result to C example.

* Change code so that file results agree with C example file results.
* float ==> dble
* Stylistic changes: do ... enddo
plplot examples/f77/x01f.fm4 1.9
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 07:29 CET)
------------------
Add the following API wrappers to the fortran interface:
PL_SETCONTLABELFORMAT
PL_SETCONTLABELPARAM
PLCALC_WORLD
PLCLEAR
PLCPSTRM
PLFILL3
PLGCOL0
PLGCOLBG
PLGCOMPRESSION
PLGDIDEV
PLGDIORI
PLGDIPLT
PLGRIDDATA
PLGVPD
PLGVPW
PLLIGHTSOURCE
PLMKSTRM
PLREPLOT
PLSCMAP1N
PLSCOMPRESSION
PLSDIDEV
PLSDIMAP
PLSDIORI
PLSDIPLT
PLSDIPLZ
PLSMEM
PLSTRIPA
PLSTRIPD
PLXORMOD
All of these new wrappers build without problems, but there are no examples
to run-time test them yet. Also there still remains work to do
on the PLMESHC, PLOT3DC, PLSHADE1, PLSHADES, PLSURF3D, and PLSTRIPC wrappers
to implement all the common API.
plplot bindings/f77/plstubs.h 1.29
plplot bindings/f77/scstubs.c 1.30
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 07:12 CET)
------------------
* Replace file designed to be processed by m4 by result of m4 processing of
that file using double precision. Fortran passes everything by reference,
and there is no actual numerical computation or constants in this fortran
source. Thus, I believe the double precision is only technical in this case
and needs no further processing in the single-precision case.
* Handle common blocks by an include file, sfstubs.h.
plplot bindings/f77/sfstubs.fm4 1.8
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 07:05 CET)
------------------
* Move from m4 processing to a simple cp.
* sfstubs.h added to file lists
plplot bindings/f77/Makefile.am 1.11
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 07:03 CET)
------------------
Initial commit of common block definitions that are required (as an
include file) by routines in sfstubs.f(m4).
+ plplot bindings/f77/sfstubs.h 1.1
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 07:01 CET)
------------------
Initial commit of documentation about how Fortran API is
controlled/generated by the various files in this directory.
+ plplot bindings/f77/README.f77API 1.1
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 06:46 CET)
------------------
* plgriddata: sg parameter changed from input to output.
* tweak wording: "in in" ==> "in"
plplot doc/docbook/src/api.xml 1.58
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 06:42 CET)
------------------
Style Changes:
* improve alphabetic ordering to help in maintenance
* plshades1 ==> c_plshades1 to be consistent with other common API functions.
plplot include/plplot.h 1.145
Commit from airwin (2003-12-23 01:43 CET)
------------------
x19f excluded from these Makefiles because this example invokes plmap and
plmeridians, and these functions are not implemented as part of the common
API (and probably won't be for a long time because of having to work around
the mapform type of argument for these functions).
plplot examples/f77/Makefile.am 1.13
plplot examples/f77/Makefile.examples.in 1.9
Commit from airwin (2003-12-22 20:21 CET)
------------------
Correct from "input" to "output" designation of certain plcalc_world arguments.
plplot doc/docbook/src/api.xml 1.57
Commit from airwin (2003-12-22 20:11 CET)
------------------
Adjust to new names of generated files
plplot pkgcfg/.cvsignore 1.2
Commit from airwin (2003-12-22 04:58 CET)
------------------
Change from int to PLINT arguments for plgriddata to conform to the pattern
for all other functions in our public API.

Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-21 12:59 CET)
--------------------
Debian release 5.2.1.cvs.20031030-2
From the changelog:
* debian/rules: Call configure with --enable-static, such that the
lib*.a files will be present in the *-dev packages (closes: #224550).
* debian/control: Changed architecture of packages libplplot-dev and
plplot-tcl-dev from "all" to "any", because of the *.a files included.

Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-16 18:08 CET)
--------------------
Made the Math::Trig module export only the symbol `pi', to avoid conflict
with PDL definitions. Also, some small formatting cleanups were done.
plplot examples/perl/x01.pl 1.3
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-16 18:02 CET)
--------------------
Added exclusions file.
+ plplot examples/perl/.cvsignore 1.1
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-16 18:00 CET)

plplot examples/perl/x01.pl 1.2
Commit from rlaboiss (2003-12-15 19:07 CET)
--------------------
PDL demos for PLplot.
Added Perl examples directory, which work with the PDL::Graphics::PLplot
module (PDL version 2.4 or later). For now, only example x01.pl is written.
The files README.perldemos and x01.pl will be unconditionally installed in
the $(DATA_DIR)/../examples/perl directory. Of course, the scripts only
work if PDL is installed.
plplot configure.ac 1.116
plplot examples/Makefile.am 1.4
+ plplot examples/perl/Makefile.am 1.1
+ plplot examples/perl/README.perldemos 1.1
+ plplot examples/perl/x01.pl 1.1
Commit from airwin (2003-12-12 04:48 CET)
------------------
Convert all floating-point constants in fortran examples to standard
double-precision form.
e.g., .3 ==> 0.3d0.
Also, convert ugly dble (0.3), etc. in argument lists to 0.3d0.
This was all done by a fairly well tested sed script that I have developed
for a different project.
Examples 3, 9, 11, and 13 gave slightly different (but still visually
acceptable) answers as a result.

I just noticed that the Octave function octave_config_info accepts an
argument. This slightly simplifies the OCTAVE_CONFIG_INFO macro. This
change was tested only with Octave 2.1.50. Hopefully it will work with any
version of Octave supported by PLplot.

Removed entry about --enable-strip-libraries option, sicne this is already
implemented by Automake.

--------------------
Revamped ToDo list
Reorganization of this ToDo list, separating task that are already completed
or abandoned from those issues that are still open. Also, added an item
about the implementation of the --enable-strip-libraries option of configure.
plplot TODO.AM-LT 1.3
Commit from jcard (2003-11-14 01:33 CET)
-----------------
-Make default visual the default, use "-drvopt defvis=0" to not use the default visual.
-Add "usepth" driver specific option; enable pthreads by default, use "-drvopt usepth=0"
to not use pthreads to redisplay the plot.
-Fix subtle bug when using pthreads with two or more plot windows; when resizing one of them
the resize/replot was directed to the plot window on the current stream.

Those on plplot_devel are already aware of the fortran status, but I should summarize it here as well: I have recently done a lot of work to extend the fortran interface (29 additional functions now available) and examples for PLplot. The changed interface and examples build on Linux with the default double precision, and the result is the first 7 standard examples for fortran give near identical results to the corresponding C examples. But I plan considerable additional work in the next week or so to extend both the fortran interface and examples to the point where they can mimic the complete standard set of C (and tcl, python, java, octave, and yorick [yplot]) examples. Also, I plan to make fortran work again with the single-precision form of the PLplot library (i.e., the --without-double option), and there is still some configuration work to do to help fortran work on other platforms than Linux. So _from the fortran perspective_, this particular snapshot works for Linux, but I doubt it will work on other platforms yet, and even on Linux it is a work in progress. In contrast to fortran, the non-fortran parts of PLplot should be fine cross-platform except possibly for a configure issue one Mac OS X 10.3 user has reported which still needs confirmation. Also, this cvs version is quite stable for developers and includes many bug fixes relative to the 5.2.1 version. So I agree with Rafael that for the non-fortran parts this cvs snapshot is of near release-candidate quality. Also, I want to publically thank Rafael for his work on the PDL examples and in generating this tarball after a long hiatus caused by the debian.org intrusion. It is great to see the plplot cvs snapshot tarballs back at http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html! Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Yes, this would be the preferable situation, but it is not completely under
our control, because the python version checks are done in macro
AM_PATH_PYTHON, included in aclocal.m4 by the aclocal command. We are not
allowed to change this file, since it is automatically generated.
There is a workaround, though, by redefining temporarily the AC_MSG_ERROR
macro around the call to AM_PATH_PYTHON. The m4 trick is like this:
pushdef([AC_MSG_ERROR],defn([AC_MSG_WARN]))
AM_PATH_PYTHON(1.5)
popdef([AC_MSG_ERROR])
Then, instead of stopping when python is not available, configure continues
but barks like this:
[...]
checking for sin in -lm... yes
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 1.5... configure: WARNING:
no suitable Python interpreter found
:
checking for :... no
checking for : version... ./configure: line 1: -c: command not found
checking for : platform... ./configure: line 1: -c: command not found

checking for : extension module directory...
${exec_prefix}/lib/python/site-packages
"Uhhh."
warning: Java Native Interface include file not found
checking for main in -lgd... yes
[...]
What do you think? Should I commit this change?

I think it's better, although it's not nice.
Perhaps changing the message to=20
configure: WARNING: no suitable Python interpreter found, please
ignore the next 6 messages
?

I am going to commit the changes, anyway. Perhaps we find a better solution in the future. -- Rafael |
