The GNUPLOT source code and executables may be copied and/or modified
freely as long as the copyright messages are left intact.
See the History file for changes to GNUPLOT.
Compilation instructions are near the end of this file.
GNUPLOT has been tested on Sun3's and Sun4's (SunOS 4.0.3 and 4.1.1),
a VAX 6410 (VMS 5.2), uVAX 3100 (5.4, 5.5, 6.0, 6.1) and AXP 3400 (1.5, 6.2)
Commodore Amiga's (KS/WB 1.3 and 2.0, SAS/C 6.2
and Aztec C beta 5.2a), IBM PC XT's and AT's (MS-DOS 3.3/5.0 BC++
3.1/TC++ 1.0 MSC 7.0), IRIS 4D/70G and 4D/25G with MIPS C, NeXT with
gnu C 1.34, DECStation 5000/200PXG (ULTRIX V4.1), AT&T 3B1 (version
3.51m with cc and gcc 1.39), and Apollo's (DomainOS SR10.3 BSD4.3
with C compiler 68K Rev 6.7(316)). The code is written with
portability in mind. GNUPLOT has not been tested on Pyramid 90x.
There is a mailing list for gnuplot users. Note, however, that the
newsgroup
comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot
is identical to the mailing list (they both carry the same set of messages).
We prefer that you read the messages through that newsgroup, to subscribing
to the mailing list. (If you can read that newsgroup, and are already on the
mailing list, please send a message to majordomo@dartmouth.edu, asking to be
removed from the mailing list.)
The address for mailing to list members is
info-gnuplot@dartmouth.edu
and for mailing administrative requests is
info-gnuplot-request@dartmouth.edu
The mailing list for bug reports is
bug-gnuplot@dartmouth.edu
The list of those interested in beta-test versions is
info-gnuplot-beta@dartmouth.edu
[Please tell us the version and machine on which your bug occurred.]

These #defines are defined automatically by various compilers, some
gnuplot routines check these defines to implement features found in the
various environments:
define note
------ --------
AMIGA_AC_5 defined for Manx Aztec C 5.2a on the Amiga
AMIGA_SC_6_1 defined for SAS/C 6.1 or later versions on the Amiga
apollo defined by Apollo's C compilers.
_CRAY defined by CRAY's C compiler.
__TURBOC__ defined automatically by Borland C++ 3.x
unix defined by most unix C compilers.
vms (and VMS) defined by VAX-11 C under VMS.
__ZTC__ Zortech C compiler under MSDOS.
_Windows defined by Borland C++ 3.0 compiling for MS-Windows
TO COMPILE
under UNIX:
To compile do:
./configure
make
The older, no-longer-preferred, way is to copy makefile.unx to Makefile
cp makefile.unx Makefile
Look through the Makefile to see if you need to make any changes.
See especially the HELPDEST and TERMFLAGS variables. Edit if needed.
Alternatively, all these variables may be set as command line arguments to
'make'. For example:
make <MACHINE> HELPDEST='/usr/um/misc/lib/gnuplot.gih' \
DEST='/usr/um/misc/bin' READLINE=
Edit term.h, to include/exclude terminals
Type
make
For further instructions.
If that works, try
make install
For further instructions.
under VMS:
To compile:
copy makefile.vms makefile.
make
Or if you don't have a suitable make:
@buildvms
To tell gnuplot where to find the help library:
$ define gnuplot$help disk:[directory]gnuplot.hlb
Alternatively (and preferably) put the help in the main system help library.
under AmigaDOS:
Using Aztec C 5.2a
make -f makefile.ami
Using SAS/C 6.1 or later versions
smake -f makefile.amg
under TOS (Atari):
Using gcc 2.x as unix cross- or native compiler
make -f makefile.st
(Edit top of makefile.st for name of crosscompiler or choose native setting)
Using PureC
use gnuplot.prj
Using TurboC
use gnuplot.prj
(Edit gnuplot.prj according to notes at the beginning)
Using Microsoft C 7.0 and compiling for MS-Windows
copy makefile.msw makefile
nmake
Put wgnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.dll, wgnuplot.hlp and wgnuplot.mnu
in the windows directory.
under MSDOS:
Using Microsoft C 7.0.
copy makefile.msc makefile
nmake
Using Borland C++ 3.1 and compiling for MS-Windows
copy makefile.win makefile
Edit makefile to change TC.
make
Put wgnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.dll, wgnuplot.hlp and wgnuplot.mnu
in the windows directory.
Using Borland C++ 3.0
copy makefile.tc makefile
Edit makefile to change TC, BIN, BGI, BGIOBJ. You may also want to turn
off overlays (See manual for more on overlays).
make
The file gnuplot.gih is needed for help on the PC.
If the file gnuplot.gih is not in the default directory, then use:
set GNUHELP={full path name of gnuplot.gih}
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See 'help environment'.
If the environment variable GNUTERM is found, it is used as the terminal
type. Otherwise, in some cases the variable TERM will be used, or the
hardware may be automatically detected.
The PC version looks for the environment variable GNUPLOT to contain
the name of the directory from which to load the initialization file
GNUPLOT.INI. See the help on 'start_up' for more information.
HOME is examined as a directory where a .gnuplot startup file might be
found. See help on "start-up".
If defined, the environment variable GNUHELP is used for the name
of the .gih help file, otherwise HELPFILE (defined in makefile or
plot.c) is used.
The VMS version looks for the logical name GNUPLOT$HELP to locate
the help library.
The CGI drivers need the CGIPATH environment variable to set the path
to the CGI agents, and the CGIDISP and/or CGIPRNT environment
variables to set the output devices.
The CGI drivers need the CGIPATH environment variable to set the path
