The gnuplot-3.7.tar.gz does not compile out of the box in DJGPP. I downloaded it from ftp://ftp.gnuplot.vt.edu/pub/gnuplot. When I run configure on a Linux box, I can see that DOS/djgpp/libGRX is checked: ==========from Linux========== ...... checking for shmat... yes checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes checking for MS-DOS/djgpp/libGRX... no checking for NeXT... no checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for errno.h... yes ...... ==========end from Linux========== However, when I run configure in DJGPP, I get a strange response: ==========from MSDOS/djgpp 2.01========== loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH ==========end from MSDOS/djgpp 2.01========== The DJGPP executable is available at ftp://ftp.gnuplot.vt.edu/pub/gnuplot. There are 2 files there, one is called gp37dj2.zip (772782 bytes), the other one is called gp37djg.zip (507320 bytes). The bigger file contains HTML documentations while the smaller file doesn't. They are done by two different person. Both work without problems -- Weiqi Gao weiqigao AT a DOT crl DOT com
