Hi Arjen, ok, I uploaded the 3rd party source package to the web. You can download (or others) it from here:
http://www.miscdebris.net/stuff/3p_plplot.zip It's a 8Mb download. Just unzip it somewhere, cd into the new directory and run make_all_vc.bat or make_all_mingw.bat This will create and install (into include/bin/lib) agg, cd, freetype, gd, qhull and haru pdf library. At the end the lib directory should contain (for visual c++): agg.lib bgd.lib and bgd.dll cd.lib freetype.lib hpdf.lib libhpdf.lib qhull.lib For Visual C++ 2005 set the variable in make_all_vc.bat accordingly, since freetype doesn't compile out of the box with VC++ 2005. All you need to do then is set the cmake environment vars: rem setup 3rd party libraries set THIRDPARTY=%USER_ROOTDIR%\3p_plplot set PATH=%THIRDPARTY%\lib;%PATH% set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%THIRDPARTY%\include;%CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH% set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=%THIRDPARTY%\lib;%CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH% That's all. So download, unzip, run batch file, set variables. I copied the whole sources for every package into this zip. I could make the download considerably smaller by deleting a lot of unused stuff, but than I don't want to delete too much (licenses and so on) and do something wrong. Since not many will download it anyway (only windows, those you who don't use the binary) I don't think this is a show stopper. So please, Arjen and Jim (Dishaw), please test if it works for you.
