(Repost with renamed file ending, so that it gets through spam/virus checks)
Hi,
I wrote and tested now a batch file, which assembles a binary package of
plplot for MinGW or Visual C++ and can easily adjusted for other
compilers. It copies the dlls of the gd, libharu and wxwidgets libraries
if available - so you don't need them, but we should add them for a
complete binary package.
You need in any case the zip executable, e.g. from here
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zip.htm , you need only the
binaries. Put them somewhere in the path.
The batch file awaits, that the plplot library is already configured via
cmake, build and installed. You need to adjust the settings at the top
of the file.
Alan, where should I put this script in the repository? Is the script
directory alright?
I post tomorrow my MinGW package (I can't provide Visual C++, since I
have only Visual C++ 2005), how I made it and I'll also post my 3rd
party libraries package, which allows to compile 6 libraries with one
command.
Regards,
Werner
One small change I would recommend is to use unzip in step b) to reduce the
tool dependencies. I think this is consistent with what cpack does on
windows. See http://cmake.org/HTML/Download.html for an example of zip
results produced by cpack on windows).
Regardless of this minor issue, it appears we have arrived at a viable method
to make binary releases for our windows users, and I think we are going to
see our PLplot efforts have a lot more impact in the windows world as a result.
Alan
