You could try writing an ebuild for this until we get through our bug list to this one :-) Created attachment 19567 [details]
Ebuild for plplot
Here is a tbz2 file with and ebuild for plplot. I untared it in
/usr/portage/dev-libs and it appears to work correctly.
Created attachment 20311 [details]
improved ebuild
This added USE flags doc and debug.
Also fixes segfaults in the package.
Still needs the patch from the other attachment.
Could you attach the patch as a text/plain file, so it's viewable from the web? Created attachment 20528 [details, diff]

plplot-5.3.0.ebuild - New ebuild
There is a new version of plplot (5.3.0). Here is a new ebuild, based on
Tyler's. Here is what I changed:
- The patch has been included upstream, so it is no longer needed.
- Corrected the way documentation is handled (--with-prebuilddoc assumes
documentation is already built. This is not the case.)
- Added missing dependencies (pkgconfig, man, perl, opensp, jre, jadetex,
octave, libgd, truetype, tk, itcl, gnome-libs). These are not mandatory, but
some bindings and drivers depend on them.
- Added USE flags to control what language bindings and device drivers are
built (gd-external, gnome, java, jpeg, png, tetex, truetype, X, itcl and
octave). These flags are also used to determine dependencies.
- Made fortran support optional and added an option to use Intel's Fortran
Compiler (ifc) instead of the GNU Fortran Compiler (f77).
- Better compliance with Gentoo FSH (docs, shared files and java libs). I also
changed the octave script which loads plplot, to reflect the changes in the
files locations.
I still have two problems with the package:
- I can't get the documentation to build. The configure script doesn't locate
my catalog files. The html documentation is available (and installed), but
there is no pdf, dvi or info files.
- I can't get the configure script to locate libqhull, so I disabled it.

- Assigns to the sci herd
- Provides long description
I believe there's a configuration problem with the 5.3.0 ebuild in that it assumes files are in /use/share/plplot5.3.0/ when they're in /usr/share/plplot/.
Details:
I can compile the example programs in /usr/share/plplot/examples/c/ but they crash on running: e.g.
$ ./x01c

*** PLPLOT ERROR ***
Unable to open or allocate memory for font file

The choice of device doesn't matter. Using strace I found that it was looking for the font file in /usr/share/plplot5.3.0/ whereas I only have /usr/share/plplot/ [strace output below]. I hacked this by adding in a soft link as I don't know enough about the gentoo layout to know what to hack in the actual ebuild.

Created attachment 43960 [details] Diff of plplot-5.3.0.ebuild This is a diff of the previous ebuild. It corrects the problem described on comment #8. I have successfully compiled and run the new ebuild on amd64 arch with GCC 3.4, and compiled the C++ exmamples in /usr/share/plplot/examples/c++. They now run correctly and I have tested them using the xwin and png drivers. eerror "GNU fortran 77 compiler not found on the system."
eerror "Please add f77 to your USE flags and reemerge gcc."
I think this error message should now read "Please add fortran to your USE flags"
Created attachment 48042 [details, diff] patch to fix octave in plplot 5.3.1 This patch applies the 5.3.0 patched with Comment #9. Changes: 1) Fix octave dependency from the app-sci -> sci-mathematics move 2) Fix the paths used for plplot's .m files 3) Change warning in Comment #10. I will attach my new ebuild with this patch applied. Created attachment 48044 [details]
plplot-5.3.1-r1.ebuild
I am still working on this - I had already added doc installation, fixed the fortran USE flag and had changed the octave dependency. I tried your patch for the octave path and it does not work on my amd64 system, make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/plplot-5.3.1/work/plplot-5.3.1/bindings/octave' if x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../include -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -MT massage.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/massage.Tpo" -c -o massage.o massage.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/massage.Tpo" ".deps/massage.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/massage.Tpo"; exit 1; fi /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -o massage massage.o -lm mkdir .libs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -o massage massage.o -lm perl /var/tmp/portage/plplot-5.3.1/work/plplot-5.3.1/bindings/octave/matwrap/matwrap -language octave -o plplot_octave.cc -stub tmp_stub \ -cpp_ignore plplot_octave_rej.h -cpp x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E -C plplot_octave.h unrecognized type '__builtin_va_list ' make[4]: *** [plplot_octave.cc] Error 9 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/plplot-5.3.1/work/plplot-5.3.1/bindings/octave' I will dig a little deeper and see if I can get to the bottom of that error later when I have some time. Once I have it working I will put it into the tree under sci-libs. Diffs are preferred to ebuilds as it is easier to see what you have changed. My patched only changed src_install. It also shouldn't be archecture dependent; it only moves a file and runs sed. Are you sure that error is caused by my changes? Re: diffs: I also attached a patch (see Comment #11). I didn't mean to imply that your changes broke the octave support, just that I would not be adding it until I had sorted out all remaining issues. I found a patch on Debian's bugzilla that seems to fix this issue, just testing it out now. I should be able to get this added and in testing for x86 and amd64 soon - just a little more testing is required. I have added plplot to the tree. Please test it out and let me know of any issues. I think I have addressed most of them, but it is quite a complex library so I could have missed something. Thanks for all the contributions made. |
