Hi Hiroyasu. Your reports have been most helpful in working out several problems on Cygwin. Thanks for those and also thanks for being so patient with us during this long debugging effort. I feel we are almost there, and only a little more effort on the part of our developers with access to Cygwin should hopefully straighten out the remaining fortran problems. When we do complete the work, we will let you know via a note to this list, and hopefully with an improved wiki that gives a nice "cookbook" of exactly what to do for Cygwin. > Please anybody tell me the easiest way to install Plplot on some Windows > platform and how to build plplot-fortran-cord ?

I think you should stick with Cygwin (after we give an improved cookbook for it in the wiki). I suspect our MinGW/MSYS and bare windows platforms our a little rough around the edges and probably need a few minor bugfixes similar to what I just did for Cygwin as well as improvements to the cookbook in the wiki. I think it is fair to say the PLplot build and install is much simpler under Linux and Mac OS X so it is much easier to document than in any of the three Cygwin, MinGW, or bare windows cases. That lack of documentation has been your principal problem in the Cygwin case, and I believe it is also a potential problem for our MinGW and bare windows users until the wiki is substantially updated.
