I can now confirm that a pristine svn trunk and my source-built cmake 2.6.1 on my Suse 10.2 system will now successfully complete a build and install, though not all drivers work or will build. Here's a summary, mostly in case someone else is interested. At the end you will also find an update on our efforts to build a Qt "driver" * itk/itcl enabled now behave themselves * wxwidgets fail to build (with cmake 2.4patch6 they did compile): ========================== cd /home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/build_dir/drivers && /usr/bin/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Dwxwidgets_EXPORTS -fPIC -I/home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/include -I/home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/build_dir -I/home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/build_dir/include -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D__WXGTK__ -o CMakeFiles/wxwidgets.dir/wxwidgets_dc.o -c /home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/drivers/wxwidgets_dc.cpp /home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/drivers/wxwidgets_dc.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void wxPLDevDC::PutPixel(short int, short int, PLINT)’: /home/opt_home/plplot/plplot_svn_2008_08_06/drivers/wxwidgets_dc.cpp:218: error: ‘GetRValue’ was not declared in this scope =========================== etc.... * HAVE_PTHREAD=ON will compile, but xwins still don't refresh if overlaid, and tk window will then spew forth multiple free or other error on exit * gcw will draw ok, but seg faults the instant the cursor is moved within the drawing surface * (new) tkwin driver won't launch, complaining it can't find plframe * svg files can't be opened by most editors (e.g.,inkscape) and viewers (e.g., eye-of-gnome). In particular, it would be nice to find an editor that could open them to touch up, etc. The Cairo svg's appear to be better, but installing Cairo is an extra overhead. * the ps and psc-generated files display fine - both within their own bounding boxes and when given a papersize in, e.g., ghostview, but seem to print a factor 5 too large to postscript printers (I've tried both hp and Xerox ones). Running them through epstopdf or some other filter works, but I wonder if someone else has noticed this and if this is a bug in the driver. Finally, as I mentioned to you, one of my developers is working on a Qt plotting device; this seems to work and is a real bonus for us as the application we supply to end users is written using Qt. As you noted, it might also be of interest to the KDE community, or would run on any system that has KDE. Qt is also available on windows, so it offers an alternative to the wingcc device. In fact, the implementation isn't that difficult, as it simply uses the plplot mem device and then displays the result in a low-level Qt paint widget. It takes a bit more work to turn it into an interactive device, but that seems in hand. And it can be adorned with a menubar, like the tk or wxwidget drivers, to save/print, etc. Although our intention is to bundle this inside our Qt application, we could try to construct it in a way that could be extracted for standalone use if there is the interest. Supplying the C++ class and api would be straightforward. It might take a bit more effort/knowledge to turn this into a real plplot device with suitable wrappers. And we couldn't really support languages/interfaces other than C++. Please advise whether there is any interest in the above, what would be most useful, and if so who on the devel team would be in a position to provide support (which probably translates into wrapping our C++ class into something generic for plplot).
