Compiling gnuplot on an IA64 OVMS 8.3-1H1

roose — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:08:04 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to compile gnuplot in our development server, but I am encountering a problem when I do it. I have downloaded the latest gnuplot from sourceforge, v4.6.3, and I am not sure whether is it really compatible with my current system:

HW: rx2660

OS: OVMS 8.3-1H1

C: HP C v7.1

MMK v4.0

What I have done:

1. Downloaded gnuplot 4.6.3 source codes from sourceforge (.tar.gz).

2. Extracted in OpenVMS server using gzip and vmstar.

3. Executed $@ configure.vms inside root of extracted directory.

4. Executed $ mmk inside [.src]

I also tried to use the buildvms.com inside the [.config] folder and it was failing as well.

Any hints on how I can compile and produce a working .exe file? Thanks!

Indded, configure.vms doesn't have a test for <stdbool.h> (which is a C99 feature). Adding HAVE_STDBOOL = 1 to configure.vms would do, as would hand editing config.h (adding a proper test for support would be better)

Alternatively, adding /STANDARD=ANSI89 to CFLAGS would work.
