wolffd@0: These libraries (either static or dynamic) and their wolffd@0: interface header files must already be on your system. wolffd@0: It's OK if you install your own copies of these packages, wolffd@0: though you may need to tell make or configure where to find them. wolffd@0: Run "configure --help" for details. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: On most Linux distributions these packages are already installed wolffd@0: or installable from packages included in the distribution. wolffd@0: You might need to install some -devel packages to get the include wolffd@0: header files. wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
If you are using GNU tools, the recommended method for building wolffd@0: graphviz is the usual: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: wolffd@0: ./configure wolffd@0: make wolffd@0: make install wolffd@0:wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
If you are building from CVS sources, then you must have wolffd@0: recent versions of "libtool", "automake", and "autoconf". wolffd@0: Build with: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: wolffd@0: ./autogen.sh wolffd@0: ./configure wolffd@0: make wolffd@0: make install wolffd@0:wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
If you are not building with GNU tools, then there are some wolffd@0: tried-and-true old-style Makefiles that can be used instead. wolffd@0: Details below. wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: There are a handful of preprocessor defines that control the wolffd@0: image driver configuration. These preprocessor defines need to wolffd@0: agree with the libraries used in the Makefile. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: The generic raster driver is gd and it can be configured to wolffd@0: generate GIF (no compression), PNG (lossless compression), JPEG wolffd@0: (lossy compression), and wireless bitmap (WBMP) files. wolffd@0: The compressors all need zlib. In the current build we wolffd@0: have a top-level config.h file that defines various symbols, such as: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: HAVE_JPEG
wolffd@0: HAVE_PNG
wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: If you don't enable the gd based drivers, graphviz will wolffd@0: still have the printf style drivers for Postscript and SVG. wolffd@0: (However, even these benefit from better text size estimation via wolffd@0: Freetype, when it is available.) wolffd@0:
wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: 1. (Recommended for Linux) Use configure generated by GNU autoconf. wolffd@0: This often works well on a vanilla Linux distribution with wolffd@0: Tcl/Tk, freetype-devel and libjpeg already installed by root wolffd@0: under /usr. Probably works OK with Solaris, too. wolffd@0: Otherwise some adjusting of command line arguments wolffd@0: to configure will be needed. wolffd@0: For Linux you can also just pick up the source tarball wolffd@0: or RPMs here. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: First, if you are using sources from CVS, run "./autogen.sh" wolffd@0: to generate the "configure" script. If you are using sources wolffd@0: from graphviz-<version>.tar.gz this autogen.sh step should not be wolffd@0: needed. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: Next, run configure. For help on possible configure options, run:
wolffd@0:
wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: ./configure --help wolffd@0:wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: For example, I use
wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/arch/sgi.mips3 \ wolffd@0: --with-freetypeincludedir=$HOME/arch/$ARCH/include/freetype2 \ wolffd@0: --with-freetypelibdir=$HOME/arch/$ARCH/lib \ wolffd@0: --with-tcl=/usr/common/tcl8.3.3wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: Obviously you would change the pathnames to reflect your installation. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: Note that the directory ${prefix}/include is automatically searched wolffd@0: for headers, and ${prefix}/lib for libraries. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: If you have problems with one or more of the optional script language bindings, wolffd@0: they can be disabled with e.g. --disable-perl. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: 2. (Recommend for other Unix platforms.) As above, you need wolffd@0: the external packages to be installed somewhere. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: make wolffd@0: make install wolffd@0: make clean wolffd@0:wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: 3. (Recommended for Dave Korn and Eleftheris Koutsofios) Use AT&T/Lucent wolffd@0: nmake. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: You have to install the AST tools first. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: Then edit Makeargs in the top source directory appropriately wolffd@0: and nmake install. Some fiddling with X11 libs is probably wolffd@0: necessary to compile 'lefty'. This usually involes editing wolffd@0: $INSTALLROOT/lib/lib/Xt or X11 (or less portably, edit nmakefile). wolffd@0: You may also need... wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: export PACKAGE_tcl=/where/tcl/is/installed wolffd@0:wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: When nmake works, it's absolutely great, but it's usually wolffd@0: some work to get the environment right including the wolffd@0: actions of tools like iffe (the AST equivalent wolffd@0: of what GNU configure does). If you're Lefty wolffd@0: or Dave Korn, you already knew that. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0:
See separate wolffd@0: wolffd@0: build notes for Microsoft Windows (in native mode). wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: With some persistence you can likely get Graphviz to build on wolffd@0: UWIN wolffd@0: or Cygwin installed on wolffd@0: Microsoft Windows. You will still need various third-party packages wolffd@0: to enable all the Graphviz drivers. wolffd@0: wolffd@0: wolffd@0: We haven't tried to build tcldot or webdot in win32. wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: wolffd@0: We found that on some platforms (Solaris?) wolffd@0: gd/dotneato and freetype MUST be compiled with the wolffd@0: same C compiler (e.g. gcc, or the native cc). wolffd@0: Otherwise there are are weird stack argument errors in wolffd@0: the call to TT_Open_Face. I don't have time to try wolffd@0: to figure out what's wrong. wolffd@0: wolffd@0:

wolffd@0: Currently, PixelGlow (Glen Low) provides a full featured wolffd@0: wolffd@0: port of Graphviz including a very nice Aqua-based graph wolffd@0: document container. Highly recommended. We merged his patches wolffd@0: into our source, but we don't build or test on OS X. Talk to Glen. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: The following are old pre-Pixelglow build notes: wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: dot and neato build with old make. (Didn't bother with tcldot.) wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: There could still be problems with case-sensitive names, wolffd@0: though we fixed all the ones we could find. wolffd@0:
wolffd@0: It's weird that Mac OSX declares lrand48() but it's not wolffd@0: defined in any of the standard system library functions. wolffd@0: wolffd@0:
