Introduction
|
DATAPLOT is a Fortran based program. However, if you do not
have a Fortran compiler available, you can use the "f2c" utility
that is available on many Unix, and a few non-Unix, systems.
Once the code is converted to C, then you can use the gcc
compiler to compile the C code.

I have personally used this to develop Sun Solaris, Linux, and Mac OSX Dataplot executables over the years. Note that the recommended choice is to use a Fortran 77/90 compiler if one is available. Also, I recommend performing all code updates on the original Fortran source. My experience is that f2c works quite well, but does not generate particularly readable C source code. I generally treat the C code as an intermediate object file. In particular, the "g77" compiler is available for most Unix/Linux platforms. I recommend using "g77" where it is available rather than f2c. If you do not already have "g77" installed, you can download it from the GNU gcc site.
