ngspice supports gnuplot instead.
30 year old legacy code, not maintained.
Does not compile on MS Windows,
compiles on Cygwin, but xgraph.exe crahes immediately.
Lots of compiler warnings.
is made under LINUX: becomes effective when code models are made.
Thus there is no longer any difference between code models
made during compiling shared ngspice or standard ngspice.
search for three variants
-lBLT (for debian and gentoo)
-lBLT24 (for redhat and centos)
-lBLT25 (might be usefull for someone else)
The advertised configure incantation is now:
configure --enable-shared=yes --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.6
In case you need a special "BLT" you can still use
LIBS=-lBLTfoobar configure --enable-shared=yes --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.6
to override the automatic search
For developing purpose only, and bound to HAVE_TSEARCH, HAVE_TDESTROY
IFparm descriptors must obey certain contracts,
1) aliases must be grouped together with their associated main descriptor,
and all must have flag IF_REDUNDANT set
2) there shall be no duplicated .id fields except for aliases.
3) aliased entries shall have consistent .dataType fields
check_ifparm will traverse all IFparm sets and report violations
Allow to override the admsXml executable when invoking
autogen.sh and configure.ac
ADMSXML=/foo/bar/baz/admsXml ./autogen.sh --adms
ADMSXML=/foo/bar/baz/admsXml ./configure --enable-adms
alternatively (and more advertised)
./configure ADMSXML=/foo/bar/baz/admsXml --enable-adms
The generated Makefiles remember the given path.
A relative path doesn't make sense of course.
notably on debian gnu/linux with package `mingw-w64'
cross-compile a mingw 32bit windows executable with this incantation:
(compile "
./autogen.sh
rm -rf tmp-build tmp-output
mkdir -p tmp-build tmp-output
( cd tmp-build && ../configure \
--build=$(../config.guess) \
--host=i686-w64-mingw32 \
--prefix='c:/spice' \
--exec-prefix='c:/spice'\
--with-windows --enable-xspice --enable-cider --disable-debug )
LC_ALL=C make -C tmp-build -k -j6
LC_ALL=C make -C tmp-build -k -j6 DESTDIR=$(pwd)/tmp-output/ install
(cd 'tmp-output/c:/' && zip -r - .) > tmp-output.zip
")
compilation to Win64 works the same way, with
--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
The tmp-output.zip directory structure resembles the
structure of our original sourceforge ngspice-26_140112.zip windows package
ready to be unzip'ed in c:/
Though the testfiles, examples and documentation is missing.
explicitly use
configure --disable-maintainer-mode
only if you don't have bison and flex.
we still have the bison/flex generated output files in the repository,
causing quite complex make dependencies.
allow to overide CFLAGS like this:
CFLAGS=something ./configure
./configure CFLAGS=something
empty CFLAGS are allowed too, like this
CFLAGS="" ./configure
./configure CFLAGS=""
otherwise use our longish builtin default CFLAGS
./configure
