I just tested this today with MinGW on Windows and the cmake GUI no longer crashes when run on plplot v10175. However... I have the standard MinGW C++ compiler which worked in the past for compiling PLplot but neither command line cmake nor gui-cmake will let me use it. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
