Thanks for your replies I'm using OSX Catalina 10.15.1, Like I commented, I have gnu-apl installed with homebrew and it works well except for the Plot feature.
So it was a problem with X11 and GTK, for the X11 Lib I need Xquartz from https://www.xquartz.org/ <https://www.xquartz.org/> This puts the X11 on /opt/X11, I also have this strange behavior, that I asked on stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59072106/do-not-understanig-mac-osx-x11 <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59072106/do-not-understanig-mac-osx-x11> Then I managed to Install Gtk with home-brew I installed gtk+ and gtk+3, like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20114598/1900722 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig brew info gtk+3 gtk+3: stable 3.24.12 (bottled) brew info gtk gtk+: stable 2.24.32 (bottled), HEAD https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20098862/how-to-install-gtk-on-osx-for-use-with-g-gcc-compiler Anf during make I get this error: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -I sql -Werror -g -O2 -MT apl-Quad_PLOT.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/apl-Quad_PLOT.Tpo -c -o apl-Quad_PLOT.o `test -f 'Quad_PLOT.cc' || echo './'`Quad_PLOT.cc Quad_PLOT.cc:79:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror,-Wreturn-type] } ^ 1 error generated. make[3]: *** [apl-Quad_PLOT.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I hope that I could explain it. > El 27 nov 2019, a las 16:48, Peter Teeson <peter.tee...@me.com> escribió: > > Hi: > The Macintosh operating system used to be called OS X > Then it was renamed macOS.
