Hi, all: I downloaded the most current stable plplot 5.9.5 and would like to use it in Windows XP + Visual Studio 2008 . I strictly follow http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Configure_PLplot_for_Visual_CXX
But, I obtained the following error messages always: -- WARNING: validate target will not be available to check for syntax errors in the PLplot DocBook documentation because onsgmls was not found. CMake Error at bindings/CMakeLists.txt:67 (message): program to concatenate files not found In bindings/CMakeList.txt, the final lines are just like: if(index) if(UNIX) add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL COMMAND cat ${index} > pkgIndex.tcl DEPENDS ${index} ) else(UNIX) find_program(CAT NAMES cat) if(NOT CAT) find_program(COPY NAMES cmd) if(NOT COPY) find_program(COPY NAMES command) endif(NOT COPY) if(COPY) set(CAT ${COPY} CACHE INTERNAL "program to concatenate files" FORCE) set(COPY "copy" CACHE INTERNAL "program to concatenate files" FORCE) else(COPY) message(FATAL_ERROR "program to concatenate files not found") endif(COPY) message(STATUS "Copy: ${COPY} - ${CAT}") endif(NOT CAT) if(NOT COPY) set(indexn) foreach(file ${index}) file(TO_NATIVE_PATH ${file} filen) set(indexn ${indexn} ${filen}) endforeach(file ${index}) add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL COMMAND ${CAT} ${indexn} > pkgIndex.tcl DEPENDS ${index} ) else(NOT COPY) set(indexn) set(prefix) foreach(file ${index}) file(TO_NATIVE_PATH ${file} filen) set(indexn ${indexn} ${prefix}${filen}) set(prefix +) endforeach(file ${index}) add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL COMMAND ${COPY} ${indexn} pkgIndex.tcl DEPENDS ${index} ) endif(NOT COPY) endif(UNIX) install( FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/pkgIndex.tcl DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR} ) endif(index) >From these 4 lines, " if(UNIX) add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL COMMAND cat ${index} > pkgIndex.tcl DEPENDS ${index} ) else(UNIX) " it seems, there is no condition for Windows, but both for UNIX ... So, is there anybody who successfully build plplot in Visual Studio under Windows, and without using mingw?
