Could you verify that I have the right type (int) for the variable flags? Also, on Windows with mingw32 I'm getting the following warning message: [ 9%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/plplotd.dir/plstdio.c.obj C:\users\hazen\plplot\src\plstdio.c:206:1: warning: "_S_IREAD" redefined In file included from C:\users\hazen\plplot\src\plstdio.c:31: C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/sys/stat.h:39:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition C:\users\hazen\plplot\src\plstdio.c:207:1: warning: "_S_IWRITE" redefined C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/sys/stat.h:38:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition [ 10%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/plplotd.dir/plstripc.c.obj -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
