How do I get gnuplot to compile on my system?
As you would any other installation. Read the files README.1ST and README. • For Unix, use ./configure (or ./configure -prefix=$HOME/usr for an installation for a single user), make and finally make install or make install-strip, the latter for smaller executables without debugging information. If you want to make a RPM package, then replace the latest step by checkinstall or checkinstall make install-strip, supposing the package checkinstall on your machine. • For DOS, if you are using bash and DJGPP, you can just run djconfig.sh. • For other platforms, copy the relevant makefile (e.g. makefile.os2 for OS/2, or makefile.mgw or makefile.cyg for Windows) from config/ to src/, optionally update options in the makefile’s header, then change directory to src and run make.
