- There were a few loose ends when GNUplot 3.0 -> A/UX 3.0 was
- discussed back in April, so here are some tips that may save
- time for installing 3.2.
-
- First, get wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/gnu/gnuplot-3.2.tar.Z
- and gcc-2.2.1 from /systems/aux/gnu; compiling with cc doesn't
- seem to work.
-
- To build GNUplot, uncompress and untar gnuplot-3.2.tar.Z.
- Rename makefile.unx to "Makefile", and set "CC = gcc", and
- OPTIONS = -traditional -DNOCWDRC -DNOVFORK by editing Makefile.
- (You'll probably also want to set DEST and HELPDEST for your
- system.) Then type "make All", which builds GNUplot as a
- generic X11R4 client. If this is successful, entering "make
- Install" will move the binaries and help file to their proper
- destinations.
-
- (See the article "Shell script for installing man pages" for
- info on an easy method for formatting/installing the man pages.)
-
- Note: one thing that I'd like to have but couldn't get to
- work is command-line editing, which should be enabled by
- compiling with the -DREADLINE option. If anyone has found
- a way to do this, please let me know. That might make it
- worth writing up a makefile or aux-diffs; otherwise this
- should be enough for anyone who was able to install gcc.
