#47 CMake problems with PLplot 5.13 in the gtk-fortran project

Hi Vincent:

I have reclassified this ticket as a support request. I am willing to continue here, but my first request of you is to follow up on the plplot-general mailing list since e-mail is a much better interface than this one for discussing the gtkfortran issues you have discovered relative to modern versions of PLplot.

CMake problems with PLplot 5.13 in the gtk-fortran project

Vincent — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 08:57:50 -0000

Dear PLplot developers,

as you may know, since 2012 the gtk-fortran project (https://github.com/vmagnin/gtk-fortran/) is offering to Fortran developers an access to PLplot in a GTK+ window. Everything was OK with PLplot 5.10 but since PLplot 5.12 and 5.13 the interface between gtk-fortran and PLplot is broken. I am now working on that problem. Please find below the report of that problem (https://github.com/vmagnin/gtk-fortran/issues/116):

I have worked with Kubuntu 18.10 (64 bits), PLplot 5.13.0, GTK+ 2.24.32.
I have created and pushed a gtk2devel branch to github.
@ax006ho, I have applied your patch diff.txt to the gtk2devel branch:
git apply --ignore-space-change --ignore-whitespace 00git.diff

The name of the package under Ubuntu is plplot, so I was obliged to modify the following lines in the main CMakeLists.txt file:

142    #  find_package(PlplotF95 QUIET)
143    find_package(plplot)

But I obtained the following error:

gtk-fortran/build$ cmake ..
-- Compiler: GNU 8.2.0 /usr/bin/f95
-- Build type is: release
-- Compilation flags: -pthread -O3 -mtune=native -march=native
CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/export_plplot.cmake:279 (message):
  The imported target "tclmatrix" references the file

     "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtclmatrix.so.10.3.0"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/export_plplot.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/plplotConfig.cmake:20 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:143 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

The missing file is in the plplot-tcl package:

$ apt-file search libtclmatrix.so.10.3.0
plplot-tcl: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtclmatrix.so.10.3.0

So, I have installed the plplot-tcl-dev package.
But there is now the following error:

gtk-fortran/build$ cmake ..
-- Compiler: GNU 8.2.0 /usr/bin/f95
-- Build type is: release
-- Compilation flags: -pthread -O3 -mtune=native -march=native
CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/export_plplot.cmake:279 (message):
  The imported target "_Pltk_init2.7" references the file

     "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_Pltk_init.so"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/export_plplot.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/plplot/plplotConfig.cmake:20 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:143 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have searched that file in Ubuntu:

$ apt-file search _Pltk_init
python-plplot: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_Pltk_init.x86_64-linux-gnu.so
python3-plplot: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_Pltk_init.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
python3-plplot: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_Pltk_init.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

I have installed the python-plplot package, but the problem is that PLplot needs the file _Pltk_init.so which is named Pltk_init.x86_64-linux-gnu.so in my distribution...
