Hi Alan,

I did find the libraries/packages you mentioned. For Qt4 I had to look harder than I did before. However, this has let to some issues:

- The Cygwin setup report an error with pango1.0.sh (or something similar). - CMake can not find pango, pangoft2 or lasi via pkg-config (tunring off PLD_psttf), but a lot of drivers related are now supported. - My Qt4 installation appears not to be complete. Will have to look into that later.

But more importantly: I get compile errors when building the system. See the attached reports. I do not have time to look into this issue, but it seems to be connected to the system header files.

Regards,

Arjen

missing library.

Yes, it is important that you install a development version of the pango library. From a search at http://cygwin.com/packages/ such development versions of libpango should be readily available.

P.S. And the same goes for development versions of the Qt4 libraries. Thus, in the limited time remaining before your holiday you might want to give the highest priority to getting the development versions of the pango/cairo libraries (for the cairo device driver) and Qt4 libraries (for the qt device driver) correctly installed on Cygwin. The cairo devices and the qt devices are a huge upgrade for all PLplot users on the Cygwin platform regardless of the computer language they use. So with some luck (i.e., assuming the only issue is the installation of the development version of those libraries) those priorities should give you some immediate positive feedback for your
exploration efforts.
