Hi Werner,
I checked your changes using bare Windows (MSVC 6.0 and ordinary makefiles
but that should not really matter):
- It works for C and Fortran 95 - all relevant DLLs are stored in the
dll subdirectory and
by expanding the PATH, the examples work fine.
- The directory I have to set PLPLOT_LIB to is the one in the _source_
tree - we need
to install/copy the font files to a "data" subdirectory in the
build/install tree
- I get a failure for the Tcl examples, but I have not been able yet to
trace what is
causing it (did not have the time). I will look into this ASAP.
- We may need to include MinGW somehow in the condition, but I am not
sure how ...
Anyway: this is a big step forward.
Regards,
Arjen
