Hi. This directory contains the source code for my cool new NeXTstep gnuplot filter, version 1.1. For more details about the usage of the filter, please see the GnuTerm distribution. This document describes how to compile the distribution. Because the terminal works via NeXTstep distributed objects, the source code contains two parts, modifications to the gnuplot source distribution and the source for GnuTerm.app itself. Note that this distribution does not include the (large) source to gnuplot. You'll have to get that yourself. Here's how I recommend building it: Building gnuplot Note that you may wish to back up the following files before proceeding: term.c term.h term/next.trm Makefile Then host% cp GTsource.tar.gz /YourGnuplotSourceDirectory host% cd /YourGnuplotSourceDirectory host% gunzip GTsource.tar host% tar -xf GTsource.tar host% mv makefile.nxt Makefile Edit term.c and term.h to make sure all your favorite terminals are included. Edit Makefile and change CFLAGS and LDFLAGS so you get the right fatness. host% make gnuplot This will build the new gnuplot in /YourGnuplotSourceDirectory. You will probably then want to move gnuplot to /usr/local/bin or ~/bin. Building GnuTerm.app Fire up /NextDeveloper/Apps/ProjectBuilder.app Open /YourGnuplotSourceDirectory/NeXT/PB.Project from ProjectBuilder's File->Open menu. Select your desired fatness from the options panel. Click on BUILD. This will build GnuTerm.app in /YourGnuplotSourceDirectory/NeXT. You will probably then want to move GnuTerm.app to /LocalApps or ~/Apps. Note that if your modifying and testing repeatedly, you may want to take advantage of the GNUTERMPATH environment variable for gnuplot. A Note on Propriety Please don't remove my name from the distribution. I have spent some time on this and all I get is recognition. If you change and redistribute the source, please comment your changes. If you modify the source for the better, please drop me a note. This way I can make sure that the next "official" distribution is as useful as possible. If you have any suggestions or uncover bugs please address all correspondance to me at robert@amo.mit.edu Robert Lutwak June 23, 1995
