Re: [Ifeffit] New pgplot in fink unstable branch

Hi Paul,

There is a new version of pgplot in the unstable branch of fink which breaks the ifeffit install process. The only thing that needs to be changed is to include the two "library" like arguments:

-framework Foundation -framework AppKit

to the linking arguments (or compile arguments). The location of the pgplot library has also been changed to (the now standard location) /sw/lib/pgplot.

I can see how to make the changed to the Makefile in src/macosx without trouble, but I am thrown a little by the python setup (it seems somewhat convoluted). What changes need to be made there to reflect the new link arguments and the new location of the pgplot library? Thanks.

Working with the src/macosx Makefile, it should be as simple as adding '-framework Foundation -framework AppKit' to PGPLOT_LIB, and pointing it to /sw/lib/pgplot in this Makefile, probably to something like: PGPLOT_LIB = -framwork Foundation -framework AppKit \ -L/sw/lib/pgplot -lpgplot -L/usr/lib -L/sw/lib -lpng $(X_LIBS) Running make should then create a setup_install.py that includes these flags, and copy it to ../../wrappers/python/. It should be as simple as cd src/macosx sudo make install cd ../../wrappers/python sudo python setup.py install You could check whether site_install.py includes '-framework...' It's possible that this could new PGPLOT lib could be used from the main ifeffit installation (as of 1.0071. Obviously, I haven't tried this but ./configure --prefix=/sw --with-pgplot=/sw/lib/pgplot make FLIBS='-lg2c' *might* work. My hope would be to get this to work, at least eventually (the test_plot shell script run by configure might need alteringd, as it's new as of 1.0071). If you're willing to try this and let me know how it works (or where it breaks), that would be great. Then again, a Mac OS X binary of ifeffit might be worthwhile. Thanks, --Matt
