does tirific need to depend on pgplot5 or can it use giza? #203

Closed o-smirnov closed 4 years ago

o-smirnov commented 5 years ago

Pgplot has been end-of-lined and replaced by giza on modern Ubuntus. Unfortunately, one can't install both libpgplot5 and giza, they seem to be mutually exclusive.

Can we try linking tirific against giza instead of pgplot5 (i.e. install libgiza-dev for the build)? I believe it's a drop-in replacement.

o-smirnov commented 5 years ago

Not to mention, giza is written by @danieljprice, who I once wrote a paper with. :)

@Athanaseus could you take a look at this?

gijzelaerr commented 5 years ago

so the issue that tirific is already packaged but pgplot sucks to use?

o-smirnov commented 5 years ago

Yeah. We need libgiza-dev for newer stuff, but it's mutually exclusive with pgplot5 (being a replacement). So if we can get tirific to build with the newer package, all will be good.

looks like something @Athanaseus could try

Athanaseus commented 5 years ago

Somehow I can't assign this to myself.

But, yeah sure I'll have a look at this.

gijzelaerr commented 5 years ago

i think you can now, upgraded your status.

gijzelaerr commented 5 years ago

@Athanaseus found this discussion: sabourke/ppgplot#1 . @Athanaseus can you check if tirific actually runs with the giza backend, not only compiles?

Athanaseus commented 4 years ago

This was tested, it works, see output example https://github.com/kernsuite-debian/tirific/pull/4.
