    Dislin compilation

    Hi everybody

    I want to recompile the DISLIN graphics module for Python under Linux, because
    I think it is one of the best graphics libraries at present.
    The included module was for version 2.0 and I want it for 2.2 or maybe 2.3.
    The problem is, that I use the small make_py script which only
    calls the gcc compiler

    CC="gcc -fPIC -c -O"
    PYTH_INC="/usr/local/include/python2.0"
    PYTH_CONF="/usr/local/lib/python2.0/config"
    gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,dislinmo dule.so -o dislinmodule.so *.o \
    -L$DISLIN -ldislnc


    but I think many variables arent configured,
    so a long list of errors follows (I copied the first few lines to
    the end)

    I dont have experience with makefiles and so I want to ask what I
    have to do in a short way.

    Thanks in advance

    Erwin

    My system:
    SuSE Linux 8.1 on an AMD-machine


    Here are the first few lines of the gcc output

      You have to edit the file 'make_py' and define the variables PYTH_INC and
      PYTH_CONF with
      corresponding directories of your Python version (i.e.
      PYTH_INC=/"usr/local/include/python2.3"
      or PYTH_INC="/usr/include/python2.3").
      The environment variable DISLIN is used to locate the DISLIN library. You can
      define it outside
      of the make_py script with the installation directory of DISLIN (i.e. export
      DISLIN=/usr/local/dislin).

          Dislin compilation

          Thanks to all, who have answered
          (per mail or in thread)

          For all others, who also don't know how to do I summarize shortly

          1. The make_py script looks for the Include and the Config directories.
          These are in the Python developers version (python-devel rpm
          for SuSE:
          PYTH_INC="/usr/include/python2.2/" for python version 2.2
          PYTH_CONF="/usr/lib/python2.2/config"
          in the appropriate section (lnx for Linux)
          2. The DISLIN variable has to be defined, for instance in the shell by
          export DISLIN=/usr/local/dislin (default directory)
          3. Calling
          make_py lnx
          for Linux OS
          4. Copying the module to the right directory
          cp dislinmodule.so /usr/local/dislin/python

          Now it should work
