So I thought I would try Qt 4.5.3 or earlier Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28framework%29 I saw that Qt 4.5 was released on March 3rd 2009 and that Qt 4.6 was released on 1st December 2009 so I downloaded qt-sdk-win-opensource-2009.03.1.exe dated 25/06/2009 from ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/ . After downloading it I saw that it was Qt 4.5.2. I installed it on my Virtual 32 bit Windows XP SP2 machine and Plplot built OK with the included MinGW, Cmake 2.8.4 and Plplot 5.9.6 I installed it on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine and Plplot built OK with the included MinGW, Cmake 2.8.4 and Plplot 5.9.6 On the Windows 7 machine I then tried the same Qt 4.5.2 and included MinGW, Cmake 2.8.4, Plplot 5.9.7 and that built OK On the Windows 7 machine I then tried the same Qt 4.5.2, Cmake 2.8.4, Plplot 5.9.7 with the current release MinGW and I got the test-drv-info qt abnormal termination error. Next I tried Qt 4.5.3 (Qt SDK 2009.04) and that builds OK with its own MinGW. Just to be sure I tried Qt 4.6.0 (SDK 2009.05) again with its own MinGW and it fails as before Then I had the idea to try Qt 4.6.0 with the MinGW from Qt 4.5.3 and it builds OK now. So then I again tried the latest Qt version 4.7.3 with the MinGW from Qt 4.5.3 and Plplot 5.9.7 builds OK. Just to be sure I tried the included and latest versions of MinGW with Qt 4.7.3 and Plplot will not build. So I went back to Qt 4.7.3 and the MinGW from Qt 4.5.3. I again successfully built Plplot 5.9.7 and then did a mingw32-make install which seemed OK. I couldn't figure out how to make the examples - I think it needs paths configuring correctly in MSYS? - but I put this to one side for a while and tried building a simple non Plplot Qt example in Netbeans using this toolset and I got lots of compiler errors so I don't think its going to work. I double checked and it still compiled OK with the latest MinGW. So then I went back to Qt 4.5.3 with its own MinGW, it builds and installs OK and I now can build and run my simple Qt application in Netbeans. Next I tried including qt.h from Plplot and I am now getting multiple errors. They are to do with finding include files but I haven't figured them out yet and I have run out of time for today so I will post this email now. I'm not sure when I will be able to come back to it, I hope to find some time next week. Regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: Alan W.

Hi Hazen: That is excellent news that you have managed to confirm the issue. Could you remove some of those failures (as needed to give you the space) and try Cmake 2.8.4, Qt 4.5.3, PLplot 5.9.6 and Cmake 2.8.4, Qt 4.5.3, PLplot-SVN? If both of those succeed it gives us a lot more confidence that it is the Qt version alone that is the source of the Windows difficulty and not anything to do with CMake version or PLplot version. Where exactly (URL's please) are you getting your various Qt SDK versions for Windows? I would like to try some of these experiments (using the MinGW version inside the Qt SDK) myself under wine. I plan to stick with CMake-2.8.4 (since any version of CMake before 2.8.3 does not work under wine due to a wine-specific issue) and PLplot-SVN and simply vary the Qt version alone. It is because of my planned wine tests with CMake-2.8.4 and PLplot-SVN that I am interested in your results for those with Qt 4.5.3. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
