On Windows make package produces an empty 1kb file (same as in Linux) and make package_source produces an 33MB file, since all my build directories, which are in the plplot directory (plplot/buildnmake, plplot/buildmingw, etc.) are also copied into this pakcage. > > The answer I got on the CMake list is PLplot is running afoul of a current > CPack limitation; "make package" only works if you specify paths relative to > the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX for the DESTINATION of INSTALL commands, > and we use absolute paths instead to support our autotools-like variety of > INSTALL DESTINATIONs.

Yes, I try make install regularily and it works without problems, all seem to be there. Regards, Werner -- Dipl. Ing.
