+
+ The following information is mainly geared towards people who want
+to port gnuplot to new platforms not covered by the installation
+instructions in 0INSTALL and INSTALL.gnu. Please do also read the
+file CodeStyle.
+
+ We have tried to isolate most operating system dependent definitions
+in the file syscfg.h. If you add a new platform, some definitions must
+probably be added to syscfg.h as well.
+
+Preprocessor Defines
+********************
+
+ These #defines should be checked before compilation. There are many
+makefiles provided as templates. You probably need these only if porting
+to a new machine. The HAVE_XXX defines should be taken care of by configure
+if your platform supports GNU autoconf generated configure shell scripts.
+If your platform/environment does not support configure, see Codestyle and
+syscfg.h.
+
+THIS LIST IS SOMEWHAT OUT OF DATE NOW - CHECK configure.in and
+acconfig.h.
+
+define file note
+------ ---- --------
+HAVE_BCOPY Makefile define if you have bcopy() and no memcpy()
+HAVE_LGAMMA Makefile define if you've got lgamma(3)
+HAVE_GAMMA Makefile define if you've got gamma(3)
+PC Makefile define if compiling on a PClone
+MSDOS Makefile define if compiling under MSDOS;
+ automatically defined by Microsoft C 5.10
+DOS32 Makefile define for a 32-bit DOS extender (djgpp/emx)
+WIN32 Makefile define for a 32-bit MS-Windows version
+HELPFILE Makefile name including path of gnuplot.gih file.
+VERYLARGE plot.h define to be largest coordinate number.
+SHELL plot.h default shell to spawn if SHELL environment
+ variable not found at run-time
+NOCWDRC Makefile define to inhibit check of ./.gnuplot
+READLINE Makefile define if you want command-line editing
+HAVE_LIBREADLINE Makefile define if you are linking with GNU readline
+
+Header File Availability
+========================
+
+ It is generally assumed that standard ANSI/ISO header files are available.
+
+Function Availability
+=====================
+
+ It is generally assumed that standard ANSI/ISO functions are available.
+
+ If certain standard ANSI/ISO C functions are not available, two alternatives
+come to mind: either try to achieve the same functionality without the
+missing function, or provide a portable implementation. Examples for this
+are in stdfn.c. See also stdfn.h.
+
+ The following defines are used to ensure availability of certain
+non-standard functions.
+
+ #define function see file comments
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+HAVE_ERF erf() specfun.c
+HAVE_GAMMA gamma() specfun.c
+HAVE_GETCWD getcwd() stdfn.h
+HAVE_GETWD getwd() stdfn.h
+HAVE_INDEX index() stdfn.h pre-ANSI version of strchr()
+HAVE_LGAMMA lgamma() specfun.c prefered over gamma()
+HAVE_ON_EXIT on_exit() term/x11.trm atexit() substitute on SunOS
+HAVE_RINDEX rindex() stdfn.h pre-ANSI version of strrchr()
+HAVE_SLEEP sleep() command.c
+HAVE_SYSINFO sysinfo() gplt_x11.c SysV function to get and set
+ system information. Used
+ instead of gethostname().
+HAVE_STRNCASECMP strncasecmp() stdfn.c non-case sensitive string
+ comparison
+HAVE_STRNICMP strnicmp() stdfn.c dto.
+HAVE_TCGETATTR tcgetattr() readline.c
+
+Terminal Selection Options
+==========================
+
+ These defines are used to include the drivers for various plotting
+terminals, printers, and protocols that a given version of gnuplot can
+access and the description of such for the help file.
+
+
+define file note
+------ ---- --------
+TERMFLAGS Various makefiles (obsolete under Unix; use configure instead)
+ the set of terminals you want, from below or
+ term.h
+SHORT_TERMLIST term.h edit term.h to specify desired devices at
+ the beginning (instead of commenting out,
+ throughout the file, devices not desired.)
+
+ALL_TERM_DOC docs/termdoc.c on-line help documentation for all devices
+ rather than only for the drivers selected
+ in term.h.

+Platform Related Defines
+========================
+

+
+Defines Used in Gnuplot
+=======================
+
+ The following defines are used to achieve better portability. Most of
+them are wrappers.
+
+ #define wraps/redefines see file comments
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+GP_GETCWD getwd()/getcwd() alikes stdfn.h
+GP_FARMALLOC faralloc()/malloc() alloc.c Windows environment
+GP_FARREALLOC farrealloc()/realloc() alloc.c Windows environment
+GP_SLEEP sleep() command.c

+GPMIN min (a,b) plot.h
+
+ The following symbols are defined when using DEBUG:
+
+DEBUG_WHERE prints filename and line number to stderr *without* linefeed
+FPRINTF(a) uses DEBUG_WHERE, passes a to fprintf
+
+ Usage example: FPRINTF((stderr, "function foo returned %d\n", bar));
+ Result: readline.c:620 function foo returned -1
