Provide gnuplot through BinaryBuilder artifacts

Open ViralBShah opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Not sure how difficult it might be, but it would be useful to provide the gnuplot binaries as artifacts.

It would definitely be useful, but I guess the difficulties are well beyond my capabilities.

The amount of OS / libraries / version combinations is just too high. To give an idea, on my GNU/Linux ldd reports 94 shared libraries depdencies:

~> ldd /usr/bin/gnuplot | head
	libreadline.so.8 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007f37f3844000)
	libgd.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.3 (0x00007f37f37da000)
	libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f37f3658000)
	libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00007f37f2d5d000)
        ...

Even trying to compile static executables would be too demanding for me...

All of GTK and Cairo is already available in BB. Just noting here for anyone who may be interested.

OK, and any attempt to provide a PR on this topic would be very welcome.
