To anyone who has compiled gnuplot under 2.0 -
I would greatly appreciate some help doing so. I'm new to both NeXT and
Unix but I need to plot some data I've been crunching soon.
Many Thanks in advance,

I seem to remember that this file (along with another) are provided by NeXT but aren't included in the standard 1.0 OS release. I would just go look back through comp.sys.next posts and get the procedure for requesting from the PoweRS that be, but the archive here dumps everything older than 11 days. All I think I need is info on how to get the files. Other than that, I'm set. b.g.

You can also tell GNUPlot to live without libplot.a in the Makefile.
There is a line which says something like:
LIBS = -lm -lplot
Remove the -lplot. Another line has -DUNIXPLOT in it (I don't remember
where - I forgot to comment it rather than blowing it away), so
that should go, too. That won't fix all of your problems, but that
was the main stuff I had to do to port an earlier GNUPlot.
Later,

I have both gnuplot and the gnu graph stuff compiled under 2.0
The postscript stuff works. You dump to a file ending in .eps and then do a
open filename.eps .This launches scene and brings up a window with the plot
in it.
If i had online documentation for Interface Builder (anyone want to hassle
NeXT about pulling the docs for IB) i would try to put together a NeXTStep
interface.
I also have bash, the latest f2c, ispell, patch, pcal and gnu tar under 2.0
If you can wait until the week of march 25 i can put them up for ftp. If you
want them yesterday, i could drop stuff in an anonymous ftp site
somewhere (over the rainbow). Let me know.
If i could get the two s-***.h and m-***.h files for emacs from someone at
NeXT i could build emacs 18.57, if there is any interest?

To compile GNUPLOT 2.02 (I got mine from duke.cs.duke.edu) on the NeXT, copy
makefile.unx to Makefile, and make the following changes:
1. lines 6, 8, 11 of Makefile: optionally change destination directories.
2. line 28 of Makefile: change "gamma" to "lgamma" (modern name on NeXT).
3. line 28 of Makefile: delete "#-gx #" (enable optimization).
4. line 28 of Makefile: add " -bsd" (strict BSD compilation).
5. line 34 of Makefile: delete "-lplot" (no plot support on NeXT).
6. line 34 of Makefile: add " -object -s" (smaller object file).
6. line 44 of Makefile: delete "-DUNIXPLOT" (no plot support on NeXT).
7. Line 102 of plot.h: change "HUGE" to "1e308" (only on version 2.0 of the
NeXT operating system--this is fixed in 2.1).
Then do a "make install", possibly as root if installing in public
directories.
Then you can use the terminal types postscript, psbig, epsf1, and epsf2
for producing PostScript pages or Encapsulated PostScript plots. I have
also added some types of my own by adding to the files term/post.trm and
term.c to provide for different fonts. For example, you can add the type
epsf3 by adding:
,{"epsf3", "Encapsulated Postscript graphics language, Times font, 11pt",
PS_XMAX, PS_YMAX, PS_VCHAR2, PS_HCHAR2,
PS_VTIC, PS_HTIC, EPSF3_init, EPSF_reset,
EPSF_text, null_scale, EPSF_graphics, PS_move, PS_vector,
PS_linetype, PS_put_text, PS_text_angle,
PS_justify_text, PS_point, do_arrow}
to term.c after line 788 (which is just the definition for epsf2 with the 2's
changed to 3's and a different description), and adding:
EPSF3_init()
{
ps_big = TRUE;
ps_font = "Times-Roman";
}
to term/post.trm after line 131 (which is just EPSF2_init() modfied).
As a test, give the follwing commands to gnuplot:
set terminal epsf3
set output "sinc.eps"
plot [-20:20] sin(x)/x
quit
and then do "open sinc.eps" to see the plot in Preview.

Take a bow, Scott! It works. I'd tinker with a frontend for this puppy if someone could point to a good book/person/man-page/ for the IB. :( Actually, since I still have 1.0 lying around, could someone point me to whatever may be there? Also, where can I find books/etc for the DSP and the sound capabilities for the NeXT? For example, I have been told that the LineOut jacks on the monitor double as Line In's! I'd like to verify that, since the old-fashioned 'smoke-test` is *definitely* out of the question. Any books that deal with the NeXT's sound and DSP capabilities would be greatly appreciated. Just point. b.g.
