The purpose of this Chapter is to present notes for each operating system that we support. Although we have some support for a number of operating systems, we only have notes for Linux/Unix systems at this point. NEEDS DOCUMENTATION
Here is the short story:
./configure make make install |
The longer story is there are a lot of possible configure options. Two of the more important configure options are --prefix and --with-double. Here is the complete list of configuration options:
./configure --help
No defaults file found, performing full configure.
Usage: configure [options] [host]
Options: [defaults in brackets after descriptions]
Configuration:
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE
--help print this message
--no-create do not create output files
--quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
--version print the version of autoconf that created configure
Directory and file names:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local/plplot]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[same as prefix]
--bindir=DIR user executables in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables in DIR [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables in DIR [EPREFIX/libexec]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data in DIR
[PREFIX/share]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data in DIR
[PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries in DIR [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files in DIR [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc in DIR [/usr/include]
--infodir=DIR info documentation in DIR [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation in DIR [PREFIX/man]
--srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ..]
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names
--program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names
--program-transform-name=PROGRAM
run sed PROGRAM on installed program names
Host type:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [BUILD=HOST]
--host=HOST configure for HOST [guessed]
--target=TARGET configure for TARGET [TARGET=HOST]
Features and packages:
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
--x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR
--x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR

--with-defaults source defaults file at startup (yes)

--with-double use double precision floats (no)
--with-profile turn on profiling option (no)
--with-shlib build shared libraries (yes)

--with-warn enable all compilation warnings (no)
--with-dbmalloc link with libdbmalloc (no)
--with-pkgdir=DIR locate libraries and includes under DIR
--with-fseek use fseek/ftell rather than fsetpos/fgetpos (no)
--with-rpath link libraries with -rpath option (yes)
--enable-f77 compile Fortran-77 interface code (yes)
--enable-cxx compile C++ interface code (yes)
--enable-python compile python interface code (yes)
--enable-tcl compile Tcl interface code (yes)
--enable-itcl enable incr Tcl interface code (yes)
--with-x use the X Window System
--with-gtk-prefix=PFX Prefix where GTK is installed (optional)
--with-gtk-exec-prefix=PFX Exec prefix where GTK is installed (optional)
--disable-gtktest Do not try to compile and run a test GTK program
--with-gnome-includes Specify location of GNOME headers
--with-gnome-libs Specify location of GNOME libs
--with-gnome Specify prefix for GNOME files

The configure script looks for default configuration options first in ./cf_plplot.in. If that file is not found, the script then looks in $HOME/config/cf_plplot.in. Finally, if neither file is found or if the found file does not have a particular default option, then the script uses the above defaults. Here is one example of a default configuration file. Adapt this for your needs or else use the command-line parameters for the configuration file.
# --*-sh-*---------------------------------------------------------------
#
# PLplot configure script default variables.
#
#
# Note: the internal representation of the --with-<option> and
# --enable-<option> command line switches actually uses an underscore,
# e.g. with_<option> and enable_<option>. Don't forget!
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Method to turn off Fortran and C++ bindings.
enable_cxx="no"
enable_f77="no"
# Devices are selected by --enable or --disable on the command line, but
# only shell variables of the form enable_<option> are recognized here.
enable_tek4010="no"
enable_mskermit="no"
enable_conex="no"
enable_vlt="no"
enable_versaterm="no"
enable_xfig="no"
enable_dg300="no"

This is incomplete. NEEDS DOCUMENTATION. $prefix/bin/plplot-config is a useful tool for helping with building of C programmes that use the PLplot libraries.
./plplot-config --help
Usage: plplot-config [OPTIONS]
Options:
[--prefix[=DIR]]
[--version]
[--libs]
[--cflags]
[--with-c++]
[--help]
