Building PLplot with a cross-compiler

2011-04-07T20:06:45Z

Smekal:

From version 2.6.0 cmake includes support for cross-compiling. The [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling CMake wiki] provides a useful source of background information here.

Cross-compiling plplot is complicated because a full build involves lots of external libraries for different drivers and multiple different compilers /interpreters for the language bindings. However, it is possible to build a cut-down version of PLplot using cmake. PLplot compiles and runs several executables to create source files / data for the project at build time. Obviously it is not generally possible to run the cross-compiled versions and so access is also required to a native build tree in which to find the native versions of the build-time executables. Support for this was only added to PLplot on 3rd March 2009 (svn revision 9665).

The following instructions were written and tested on using the mingw32 cross-compiler for Windows running under Linux. Debian and Ubuntu supply packages for this environment so it is simple to install and test.

==Build a native version of PLplot==
This can just be a normal PLplot build. The only thing to be careful of it to ensure that it uses dynamic drivers if you intend to use them for the cross compiler otherwise get-drv-info will not be built.

==Create a CMake toolchain==
See the [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling CMake wiki] for details of this for individual platforms. The mingw32 example worked fine for me.

==Building a cross-compiled version of PLplot==
* Create a new directory for the cross-compile build and change to that directory.
* Run cmake.

** You probably want to disable all languages and drivers by default and then just enable the ones you need. You can achieve this by setting DEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON and DEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON. Failure to do this can lead to strange results if cmake picks up native rather than cross-compiler versions of tools, for example the fortran compiler, which are not part of your toolchain.
** You will need to set the following CMake variables.
*** CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE: points to the CMake toolchain file for this cross-compiler.
*** CMAKE_NATIVE_BINARY_DIR: points to the top-level directory in the native PLplot build tree.
** You will need to disable pkg-config support or ensure that pkg-config is using the correct package information files for the cross-platform. The simplest way of disabling this is by setting PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE to something like NOT-FOUND.
** You will either need to disable support for the CSA library, or explicitly set NanAwareCCompiler (probably to ON) since this uses a build-time executable to check for support. This can't be executed for a cross-compiled environment.

* Run make to build the cross-compiled version of PLplot.

Using this method I have successfully cross-compiled the C++ bindings and the ps and svg drivers. Note that neither of these has external dependencies. For reference the cmake command line looked like

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake -DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_ps=ON -DPLD_svg=ON -DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=Not-Found -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_cxx=ON -DNaNAwareCCompiler=ON -DCMAKE_NATIVE_BINARY_DIR=/home/andrew/software/plplot/build

Third-party libraries

2010-02-19T10:46:44Z

Smekal:

The core of PLplot as well as most of the drivers depend on third-party libraries. For the PLplot library most dependencies are optional, while drivers are not included if dependencies are not fulfilled. In the following section information about this dependencies for the various operating systems are given.

== PLplot core ==
* [[qhull]] - ???

== Drivers ==
* [[aquaterm]] - displays plots, available for Mac OS X
* [[cairo/pango]] - displays plots and save to different file formats, available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X
* [[cgm]] - outputs cgm files
* [[freetype]] - enables use of ttf fonts for some drivers
* [[libgd]] - the gd driver is able to output png, jpeg and gif files
* [[libharu]] - C library used for the pdf driver
* [[Qt]] - display plots, output various formats on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X using Qt UI framework
* [[wxWidgets]] - displays plots, available on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X using wxWidgets library

== Bindings ==
* [[swig]] - connects Plplot C library to Python, Java and Lua
* [[Lua]] - a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language

Todo List

2009-08-24T18:58:30Z

Smekal: /* wxWidgets */

== PLplot Core ==
* find solution to setenv/unsetenv problem in qsaslib_test for Visual C++ (AR)
* is it possible to move dirent stuff from plplotP.h to plcore.h (ws)

== Drivers ==

=== haru pdf ===
* example 24 segfaults (WS)
* add text clipping (WS)
* example 10: text and box positions wrong.
* example 13: pattern fill spacing wrong.
* example 30: transparency not implemented.

=== wxWidgets ===
* fix crash in example 14 when master window is closed (ws)
* only master should handle return key in example 14 (ws)
* improvements of wxpng (WS)

=== Cairo ===
* Fix arbitrary plot rotations (HC)
** Text is incorrectly clipped when the plot orientation is set to anything other than 0. This issue seems to hold for the Qt and SVG drivers as well. One possible work-around is to hand off a portion of the rotation and clipping responsibilities to the plot driver, as each of the underlying libraries/standards support this. For an illustration of the problem, try:
./x01c -ori 1 -dev xcairo

== Bindings ==
* octave style graphics routines follow the style of older octave / matlab versions. Need extensive updating to be more like octave 3.0 (and current matlab). This is a non-trivial exercise, but exceedingly worthwhile. Volunteers? (AR)
* update the Tcl and Tk bindings to use the Tcl_Obj interface (not quite trivial; AM)
* improve checking for Itcl (AM)
* investigate crash with Tk (AM)
* investigate availability of Tk on Windows (turned of for bare Windows - no X11; problems with UNIX-only functions under Cygwin; status MinGW unknown; AM)
* problem with example x19 for Fortran 95 with CVF on Windows: __stdcall. The issue is complicated due to CVF and IVF using different calling conventions (AM)
* fix differences of example output for various bindings on Mac OS X (WS)

== Examples ==
* Lua (5.1) examples on Mac OS X print out a lot of memory error messages (WS)
* check differences in several F77 examples (x09, x14, x15) on Windows with CVF (AM)
* fix problem with record length in example x20 for CVF on Windows (AM)

== Platforms ==

* improve support of Cygwin (AM, WS)

== Documentation ==

== Webpage ==

== Testing ==
* make test_tcl.sh work under Windows - sh-bang lines, "heredoc" not supported, path problem (AM)

== Done ==
* <strike>* return should end wxPLplotdemo</strike> (ws)
* <strike>make lua examples run on Mac OS X</strike> (ws)
* <strike>replace the example 14 call in the test scripts, so that it also works in Windows</strike> (ws)
* <strike>implement lua examples</strike> (ws)
* <strike>Lua cmake files: build only if double and swig version high enough</strike> (ws)
* <strike>AGG backend can't be used in wxWidgets bindings</strike> (ws)
* <strike>backend name in title of wxPLplotdemo</strike> (ws)
