GNUPlot for HP-UX 10.01

Kevin Lamb — Wed, 29 Aug 2001 08:45:51 GMT

Hi,

I have GNUPlot running on a couple of 10.20 machines and was wondering if any one has seen a copy for 10.01, I have tried to compile the 10.20 version on 10.01 but this complains of library problems.

I know this is a long shot but if anyone knows of a site I can get this from it would help.

I have already tried gnu.com and hpux.connect.org.uk but can only find versions for 10.20.

Thanx

Kev

See if you can successfully compile it on 10.20, then I can give you the options to create a static version on 10.20 (with the libraries built into it) which is portable across 10.X and will then run fine on 10.01.

Stephan,

I have got GNUPlot compiled and running sucessfuly on several 10.20 boxes.

If you could let me know the options to create the static version which can be ported to 10.01 it would be appreciated.

Thx
Kev

Hi Kevin,

alrighty. Now, you need to modify the make file for Gnuplot to add the following compiler options;

-noshared -Wl,-a,archive

eg. add to the CCOPTIONS section
Then do a make clean (ensure all object files removed) and then make the binary. Now the binary should be much larger (as libraries built into it) and portable back to 10.01.

oops, forgot an extra option you may need. +DAportable
Try without first, if it doesnt work include it also.

Stefan,

Unfortunatley it is still failing with Unrecognised symbols.

Tried the -noshared but I believe that this is for GCC, I forgot to mention that we are running HP-ANSI C so tried the -N option but this still failed.

the full line on our options is cc -Ae -N -Wl,a,archive,+DAportable it produces all the symbols but then fails on the link stage.

Is there any option that we should be using bearing i mind that this is ANSI C

Thx

Kev

Hi Kevin,

-noshared works fine on HP ANSI C also. Im using a full HP ANSI C compiler.

Trying to create static binaries can be a real pain. Where did you download Gnu plot from ? I will install and create a static binary for you. Please include your email.

Cheers,

Stefan

Stefan,
gnuplot was taken from gnuplot.vt.edu, it was already installed on the 10.20 machines when I started a couple of months back.

my mail address is klamb4@csc.com

If you could provide the binaries it would be a great help

Thx

Kev

Hi Kevin,

just emailed the static gnuplot binaries to you. Theyre in a tar gzip file.

Cheers,

Stefan,

I have used the gnuplot binaries that you have kindly sent and these work perfectly.

Thanks for your help with this one.

Kev

p.s. did you use any different cc options other than the ones that you suggested???

Hi Kevin,

had to make a couple of other changes to the Makefile. I added in a library (causing the unresolved symbol errors you encountered);

LIBS = -lm -L/opt/zlib/lib -l:libdld.sl

And had to modify a line which prevented object files being created when using the static lib options on cc;

COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -o $@

I think that was all.
