grace
------------------------------------------
Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical data.
It runs under various (if not all) flavors of Unix with X11 and M*tif
(LessTif or Motif). Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based
programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like
Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the
convenience of a graphical user interface with the power of a scripting
language which enables it to do sophisticated calculations or perform
automated tasks.

-------------------------------------------

Authenticity:

  The package contains detached gpg signatures for the original source
  package, the patch file and the build/packaging script signed by the
  cygwin package maintainer of gnupg.
  (There was no signature for the source package by the author of grace
  available.)

-------------------------------------------

Notes:

An upgrade/re-instalation will not overwrite the /usr/grace/gracerc and
/usr/grace/gracerc.user configuration files. It will create gracerc.sample
and gracerc.user.sample files instead.

If you don't like to view the online documentation of grace with lynx
you can point your browser to the /usr/grace/doc directory.

-------------------------------------------

Runtime requirements:
  cygwin-1.5.5 or newer
  xorg-x11-base
  jpeg
  libpng12
  XmHTML

Build requirements (additional):
  gcc
  gcc-g++
  gcc-g77
  bison
  xorg-x11-devel
  lesstif
  libpng12-devel
  libtiff-devel
  
-------------------------------------------

Build instructions:
  unpack grace-5.1.17-X-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
    unpacked under /usr/src automatically

  - To rebuild the binary and source archiv type:
    $ cd /usr/src
    $ ./grace-5.1.17-X.sh all
    (Or if you like to sign patch and build script type instead:)
    $ SIG=1 ./grace-5.1.17-X.sh all

    This will create:
      /usr/src/grace-5.1.17-X.tar.bz2
      /usr/src/grace-5.1.17-X-src.tar.bz2

  - To get the modified source to build the cygwin executables type:
    $ cd /usr/src
    $ ./grace-5.1.17-X.sh prep

    This will unpack and patch gnupg to:
      /usr/src/grace-5.1.17

  - To check the signatures of the source archive, build patch and script run:
    $ cd /usr/src
    $ ./grace-5.1.17-X.sh checksig

-------------------------------------------

Port Notes:
----- version 5.1.17-1 -----
New upstream version

----- version 5.1.14-2 -----
Due to an error in older versions LessTif 0.93.94 or newer is required.
This version also uses the XmHTML library to display the online help.

----- version 5.1.14-1 -----
New upstream version

----- version 5.1.12-1 -----
Initial release.
* No patches necessary. The applied patches only fix the make check
  command. They are not needed for the cygwin build, but they enable
  make check.
* Use lynx instead of netscape to view the on-line documentation.
  This is necessary because neither XmHTML nor libhelp are available
  as official cygwin package and one of those libraries is needed to
  use the internal helpviewer.
