plt has been successfully compiled under Mac OS/X 10.2 (Darwin 6.0.1).
It should also work under 10.1 but this has not been tested.
You will need to obtain and install several packages of free software
needed by plt. The suggested method for obtaining these
packages is with Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/), an
easy-to-install collection of free Unix tools that have been ported to
MacOS/X.
Before compiling plt, download and install:
- MacOS/X Developer Tools (http://developer.apple.com/macosx/)
- XDarwin (from Fink; sources from http://www.xdarwin.org/)
- GhostScript (from Fink; sources from http://www.ghostscript.com/)
- gv (from Fink; sources from
http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/)
- bc (from Fink; sources from http://www.gnu.org/software/bc/)
[optional; needed if you wish to use pltf for function plotting]
- ImageMagick (from Fink; sources from http://www.imagemagick.org/)
[optional; needed if you wish to generate PNG images using lwcat -png]
Now follow the instructions above for Unix or Linux.
