- and Aztec C beta 5.2a), IBM PC XT's and AT's (MS-DOS 3.3/5.0 BC++ 2.0/TC++
- 1.0), IRIS 4D/70G and 4D/25G with MIPS C, NeXT with gnu C 1.34,
- DECStation 5000/200PXG (ULTRIX V4.1),

-
- Valid TERMFLAGS defines. These defines are used to include the
- various plotting terminals, printers, and protocols that a given version
- of gnuplot can access:

-
- These #defines are defined automatically by various compilers, some
- gnuplot routines check these defines to implement features found in the
- various environments:
-
- define note
- ------ --------
- AMIGA_AC_5 defined for Manx Aztec C 5.2a on the Amiga
- AMIGA_LC_5_1 defined for Lattice C 5.01 on the Amiga
- apollo defined by Apollo's C compilers.
- _CRAY defined by CRAY's C compiler.
- __TURBOC__ defined automatically by Turbo C 2.0, C++ 1.0, Borland C++ 2.0
- unix defined by most unix C compilers.
- vms (and VMS) defined by VAX-11 C under VMS.
- __ZTC__ Zortech C compiler under MSDOS.
-
-
- TO COMPILE
-
- under UNIX:
- To compile do:
- Copy makefile.unx to Makefile
- cp makefile.unx Makefile
- Look through the Makefile to see if you need to make any changes.
- See especially the HELPDEST and TERMFLAGS variables. Edit if needed.
- Alternatively, all these variables may be set as command line arguments to
- 'make'. For example:
-
- make <MACHINE> HELPDEST='/usr/um/misc/lib/gnuplot.gih' \
- DEST='/usr/um/misc/bin' READLINE=
-
- Edit term.h, to include/exclude terminals
- Type
- make
- For further instructions.
- If that works, try
- make install
- For further instructions.
-
- under VMS:
- To compile:
- copy makefile.vms makefile.
- make
- Or if you don't have a suitable make:
- @buildvms
- To tell gnuplot where to find the help library:
- $ define gnuplot$help disk:[directory]gnuplot.hlb
- Alternatively (and preferably) put the help in the main system help library.
-
- under AmigaDOS:
- Using Aztec C 5.2a
- make -f makefile.ami
- Using Lattice C 5.1
- lmk -f makefile.amg
-
- under MSDOS:
- Using Microsoft C 5.10.
- copy makefile.msc makefile
- make makefile
-
- Using Borland C++ 2.0, Turbo C++ 1.0
- copy makefile.tc makefile
- Edit makefile to change TC, BIN, BGI, BGIOBJ. You may also want to turn
- on overlays (See manual for more on overlays).
- Edit linkopt.tc (linkopt.tco if overlays on) to change location of
- libraries.
- make
-
- Using Turbo C 2.0.
- As per Borland C++ 2.0. Edit linkopt.tc to change location of libraries.
-
-
- The file gnuplot.gih is needed for help on the PC.
- If the file gnuplot.gih is not in the default directory, then use:
- set GNUHELP={full path name of gnuplot.gih}
-
-
- ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-
- See 'help environment'.
-
- If the environment variable GNUTERM is found, it is used as the terminal
- type. Otherwise, in some cases the variable TERM will be used, or the
- hardware may be automatically detected.
-
- The PC version looks for the environment variable GNUPLOT to contain
- the name of the directory from which to load the initialization file
- GNUPLOT.INI. See the help on 'start_up' for more information.
-
- HOME is examined as a directory where a .gnuplot startup file might be
- found. See help on "start-up".
-
- If defined, the environment variable GNUHELP is used for the name
- of the .gih help file, otherwise HELPFILE (defined in makefile or
- plot.c) is used.
-
- The VMS version looks for the logical name GNUPLOT$HELP to locate
- the help library.
