Hi Werner, I have been able to build the CGM driver without a problem (the nistcd.dll was being buit before - I simply overlooked it).
I can use the driver in an example and that produces a CGM file. I will use the new test facilities later to see if all is well (right now I can do little with CGM files, I will try and hunt down a viewer) Regards, Arjen > n 2009-03-10 10:34, Werner Smekal wrote: > Hi Arjen, >> > >> I tried building PLplot with this device (and the new third-party >> library) turned on on bare Windows, but it fails: >> - The linker complains about cdImageColorClear() - it does not >> seem to exist. > > Only this function was not exported, since it is declared as private. > Since it is used in the cgm driver I exported it as well. > >> - The dll directory that is created under Windows does not contain >> a corresponding dll for the CD library, only an import-library >> that is empty as far as I can see. > > I can't confirm that.
