Yes, sorry, I wrote
 >> set PLPLOT_LIB=path_to_plplot_dir\data
and I meant path_to_plplot_dir should be the plplot source dir and not 
the build dir. Since the data is not changing with the build this maybe 
not necessary, so you just could set the PLPLOT_LIB variable to the data 
directory of the source dir. "make install" than copies the files anyway 
into the install directory correctly.

You said in former emails, that you need the plserver.exe or so, and 
this exe files are not in the path, since only the libs are copied into 
the dll directory. We could also set the EXE_OUTPUT_PATH or so, but than 
all exe files would be copied into the directory, also all examples, and 
this would make the dll folder a little bit crowded, not structured and 
ctest wouldn't work anymore I think. Because of that I did not change 
this, but if you think it is necessary we could try it.

Why, do you think you need MinGW, when you use Visual C++ 6.0? Is TCL/TK 
depending somehow on MinGW?

Cool,
