Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Sachse (antarse42) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PLplot + Octave + Windows: choose two. (plplot_octave.cc)) Initial Comment: Hi all, I cannot get Octave+PLplot running under Windows XP. I got a freshly installed system, I installed Octave (via OctaveForge, binary) Strawberry Perl and MinGW (realizing later that Strawberry in fact already includes MinGW binaries) and have all three in my PATH variable. I am following the instructions on your Wiki regarding the MinGW setup but I run into trouble: CMake runs fine, then I proceed to mingw32-make and get this: 1) Scanning dependencies of target test_nistcd [ 11%] Generating test_nistcd_dir/cdexp1.cgm mingw32-make[2]: *** [lib/nistcd/test_nistcd_dir/cdexp1.cgm] Error -1073741515 mingw32-make[1]: *** [lib/nistcd/CMakeFiles/test_nistcd.dir/all] Error 2 mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2 This error can be remedied by copyinh libnistcd.dll from plplot\buildmingw\dll to plplot\buildmingw\lib\nistcd. Then i run mingw32-make again and get this: 2) [ 43%] Generating plplot_octave.cc, tmp_stub '-' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. matwrap: C preprocessor exited with error status mingw32-make[2]: *** [bindings/octave/plplot_octave.cc] Error 2 mingw32-make[1]: *** [bindings/octave/CMakeFiles/plplot_octave.dir/all] Error 2 mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2 I have traced the error to the perl script "matwrap", line ~211 (plus/minus) where it seems that the program seems to try and fork - which, in Windows, leads to problems. What can I do? Greetings from Oslo, Daniel Huge fan of Open Source, but unfortunately bound to Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202915&aid=2839637&group_id=2915 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
