Hi Jim: I prepared this (one-patch) patch series with "git format-patch". I am pretty sure you should use "git am" (not "git apply") to apply it. Anyhow, "git am" always works fine for me here to apply patch series created with "git format-patch" so please try "git am" there, and I think it will "just work". > I can say, however, that I was able to successfully build and run ctest on MacOS X. The ctest and cmake commands are part of what you get when you build the CMake software package. So I presume you did have success building CMake and that is a really good result. What version of CMake? > When I run "test-plplot.sh" and "test_diff.sh", I get a message about missing stdout for all the examples. Thanks for trying some testing, but I believe the errors you have gotten are because you haven't set up everything first. So here is what I suggest you do instead of running that bare bash script: # In a fresh empty build tree.... cmake <cmake options including -DBUILD_TEST=ON> <path to pristine PLplot source tree> >& cmake.out make test_diff_psc >& test_diff_psc.out Note, the test_diff_psc target runs the test-plplot.sh script and a lot more in a coherent way. The test_diff_psc target only tests our examples for all languages produce consistent results, but that is also a fairly quick test that a large part of PLplot is built correctly. Once the test_diff_psc target is working correctly for you, then you should be ready to start testing wxwidgets. First check the cmake.out file above to make sure wxwidgets system libraries were found. If not, then you have to install them (likely with homebrew, macports, or the fink distributions of free sofware, if you don't want to build all of the wxwidgets software yourself.) Then once all the wxwidgets software package is installed, start over with PLplot with a fresh build tree as above, check cmake.out for wxwidgets, etc. Once cmake.out says wxwidgets has been found then.. #Build first C example: (if you haven't done that already by some #prior test). make x01c # Build the wxwidgets device (this will fail if clock_gettime is not available # for modern Mac OS X which is one of the concerns about the above patch make wxwidgets # Test wxwidgets works on the first example and uses a new name # each time you run it, i.e., randomizing with clock_gettime is working #on Mac OS X similarly to the way it works on Debian stable: examples/c/x01c -debug -dev wxwidgets # Record the last lines of text generated by that -debug option (the ones that include the string # nTries), then try a second invocation examples/c/x01c -debug -dev wxwidgets # The again record all lines generated that include the string nTries. Report back those nTries lines for each of your two invocations above (and also report back if the first example looked reasonably good with wxwidgets). Once, you demonstrate that wxwidgets is working well for you on Mac OS X with such hand-run tests, you can do a lot more convenient automated wxwidgets testing for ~6 of our standard examples (right after cmake invocation since all dependencies are taken care of automatically) by running make test_c_wxwidgets >& test_c_wxwidgets.out If any problems show up in any of the *.out files that capture results above, then ideally attach all *.out files as a compressed tarball to your post here that describes the issue. By the way, I just used the search box at http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Home/ using the search term "wx", and that found 14 different wiki pages (some of which have labels going back to 2009). So likely a lot of that wxwidgets documentation material for PLplot is outdated, but let us know which pages Phil or I should concentrate on updating first. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
