CVS compilation

[herrdeh]

Hello everybody,

I have to apologize for a probabely quite stupid question:

I'd like to use gnuplot 4.3 on my Mac 10.4.11 - which is not yet  
available as a port. One can obtain it via CVS - but on my machine  
the compilation results in several errors I cannot resolve. So I  
wonder whether it would be the easier way to do it using macports.

The CVS commands to obtain gnuplots are:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/gnuplot  
login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/
gnuplot co -P gnuplot

Can anybody give me a hint whether it is possible to compile from  
that source using the macports basis - and how to do it?

Thanks and greetings,

Wolf

P.S.:

There is a script to install th gnuplot CVS version. It gave me the  
errors I wrote above, but maybe anybody can read something from it:

#! /bin/sh
#
cd /Users/"$(whoami)"/Desktop/
echo "Gnuplot svn compilation: aquaterm support only, to have x11  
simply delete -with-x=no option"
echo "You need automake newer 1.8 (fink helps)!!"
echo "To have gnu readline support, install readline5-shlibs from  
fink and check if there is the sym link in /usr/lib :  
libreadline.dylib -> /sw/lib/libreadline.5.0.dylib"
echo "Press ENTER when asked for cvs pwd"
echo
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/gnuplot  
login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/
gnuplot co -P gnuplot
cd gnuplot/
sudo ./prepare
./configure -with-x=no --without-tutorial CFLAGS=-DDEFAULTTERM=\\
\"aqua\\\" --with-readline=gnu
make
cd src/
sudo cp gnuplot /Users/"$(whoami)"/Desktop/gnuplot_svn
cd /Users/"$(whoami)"/Desktop/
version=`gnuplot_svn --version | awk '{print $2}'`
date=`date | awk '{print $3 $2 $6}'`
mv gnuplot_svn gnuplot-"$version"_svn"$date"
echo "Removing compilation folder and moving binary file to Desktop..."
sudo rm -r gnuplot/

4.2.x appears to be the latest stable version, according to the web  
site, therefore that's what MacPorts provides.

What errors do you get?

MacPorts is for taking software that can already be compiled on Mac OS  
X and making it easier to install. Unless the errors you're getting  
relate to being unable to find dependencies provided by MacPorts, I  
doubt it will be any more possible to build it in MacPorts than it was  
by hand.

The Guide explains how to write portfiles:

http://guide.macports.org/

So if you really must have 4.3 now and cannot wait for it to be  
released, and want to see if you can get it working in MacPorts, you  
can create a local port repository and make a copy of the existing  
gnuplot 4.2.x portfile and try updating it.

Hello,

please excuse a greater delay in replying. I hoped time would resolve things for me… - but it didnt.

So I tried compiling gnuplot 4.3 from the CVS again. The gnuplot website provides a script which is supposed to do the job:

http://www.gnuplot.info/development/sample_osx_installation.html

I tried this script on a Tiger 10.4.11 PPC with macports 1.8.1 installed, and get the following output messages:

http://verkehrsplanung.com/TerminalAusgabeGnuplot.txt

There comes the line

"You need automake newer 1.8 (fink helps)!!"

AFAIK macports does only provide automake 1.1 and 1.7 - do I have to bother?

Allthough the issue a bit off-topic - anybody who's willing to have a brief look on the file and tell me what's going wrong will be very wellcome.

Greetings,

Wolf

The script looks reasonable enough, so the problems are probably coming
from gnuplot's build system.

The proximate cause of the failure appears to be:
ld: Undefined symbols:
typeinfo for wxMemoryDC
typeinfo for wxDataObject
typeinfo for wxTopLevelWindowMac
typeinfo for wxApp
typeinfo for wxFrame
typeinfo for wxPanel
typeinfo for wxDialog
typeinfo for wxObject
typeinfo for wxThread
typeinfo for wxControl

However, the preceding warnings about many symbols being taken from
/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.dylib instead of libraries in /opt/local/lib
are highly suspect. Quite possibly what is being warned about
beforehand: "warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may
result in errors or different symbols being used"

The current automake port is 1.11.
