Hi Alan, I thought I would have a go at building the examples as per your instructions below, but I'm confused as to exactly what you mean by the cmake instructions. Anyway, I started with a new build directory and ran cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= .. It ran through and compiled all the C examples but failed on the C++ ones as usleep() was undefined. I copied the compiled C examples and then reran the make without the -DBUILD_TEST=ON and installed plplot OK. Then I tried running the examples. They all list all 18 drivers but will not load any of them.
I tried again adding C:\msys\1.0\bin to my PATH and running cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= .. but it fails in the same way. I'll have a look at Arjen's DLL dump tonight, but at first sight it looks like he has a different gcc compiler, its showing d:\gcc4.6\bin\ in his PATH. gcc -v reports version 3.4.5 on my system for the MinGW included with Qt 4.5.3 and its reporting version 4.5.2 for the latest MinGW download. The MSYS gcc version is also 4.5.2. Regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: Alan W. Irwin [mailto:ir...@beluga.phys.uvic.ca] Sent: 04 June 2011 20:26 In the past here is how I have tested PLplot under wine. Put the dll subdirectory of the top-level build directory (where all the build-tree dll's are automatically collected for the Windows platform case) on your PATH, put MSYS _last_ on your PATH, use the "MSYS Makefiles" cmake generator, and use the -DBUILD_TEST=ON option for cmake. Our test system requires a modern bash which is why I suggested putting MSYS (which supplies a modern bash for windows) on your PATH. The "MSYS Makefiles" cmake generator enables cmake to generate make files that also depend on the msys version of bash as well as other msys applications. Then run make VERBOSE=1 test_noninteractive >& make_test_noninteractive.out make VERBOSE=1 test_interactive >& make_test_interactive.out The former tests essentially all non-interactive devices (including the qt ones). The latter will display lots of interactive results on your desktop (including the qt ones). For the test_interactive target, we are most interested in any errors showing up in make_test_interactive.out so our test systems uses the -np PLplot option to remove the pause between pages for most examples so you don't have to interact with them. However, that option does not yet work for all test examples so you might have to do some clicking (and sometimes just hitting the enter key) to get through a subset of the interactive examples. There is one caveat to the above for the present case. I am a bit concerned about how a modern MSYS will interact with the older MinGW versions you tend to get with Qt. However, I used objdump -p (I don't have access to the Cygwin version of ldd yet) to show that bash.exe supplied by MSYS has no MinGW dll dependencies. So I think the above MSYS-dependent steps will work for you even when you are using a Qt version of MinGW. Assuming the above tests work well, then the VERBOSE option tells you all the compile and link options that you need to get any application to work with PLplot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
