Subj:	Re: GNUPLOT_X11 for VMS???


In reply to the problems with ghostscript on VMS.

I got the sources and font files from prep-ai.mit.edu and uncompressed them
and untar'd them.

There is a file called vms-cc.com to complete the compilation.

I am running vms 5.5 and motif....

I found I needed three changes to the data supplied

1) in the file "file.h" it is necessary to include the line 
#include "stream.h"
	close to where it is commented out in the source
2) in the file "memory_.h" I had to comment out the definitions of memcpy and
memset sice the compiler did NOT like the redefinition
3) in the vms-cc.com file, I required an extra link file
SYS$SHARE:DECW$DWTLIBSHR/SHARE
SYS$SHARE:DECW$XLIBSHR/SHARE
were the sharable images I linked to get alll the required files.

Finally, since I had not specified another directory for the initialisation
files as described in the heading of vms-cc.com, I have a setup file

GNUSET.COM

$ gs :== $yourdevice:[yourpath.subpath]gs.exe
$ define GS_LIB yourdevice:[yourpath.subpath]

I even went to the trouble to delete all the files, repeat the untar and then
edit the two files before launching my slightly modified vms-cc.com, and
I got a usable executable.


I HAVE A QUESTION OF MY OWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I rotate the screen image to correctly see images in the horizonatal
mode without turning my head....
