Without that the test still crashes. Just a thought, but I wonder if maybe you forgot to put the path for the dll subdirectory on your PATH _before_ you ran make? If you did that necessary PATH change afterward before you ran the "x01c -dev qtwidget" test that would explain the bad result you are seeing with the simple dynamic load test that is done with -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=ON while getting a good result for the more extensive "x01c -dev qtwidget" test. >From additional traffic on the CMake developer list this morning, an extremely simple bug fix for Qt4 and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE bug has been found. When that bug fix gets into a release (maybe even the forthcoming CMake-2.8.5), then the release version of Qt4 will be used by default for PLplot builds with no necessity of setting -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release. Of course, now and also in that future case, if you want the debug version of Qt4, you must specify -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug. > > Thanks for all your support You are welcome.
