CMake recognises it and turns on the Qt device drivers. I had to turn off the svgqt device though, as there is no QSVGgenerator header file in my present installation.
Things appear to be moving quite rapidly for Cygwin. If you check the http://cygwin.com/packages search box for qmake.exe, the package found is libQtCore4-devel-4.8.5-1, i.e., you should upgrade your present installation so that all Qt packages are version 4.8.5-1. Furthermore, a search for qsvggenerator.h finds libQtSvg4-devel-4.8.5-1. So if you follow the upgrade of all your Qt packages to version 4.8.5-1 with an installation of libQtSvg4-devel-4.8.5-1, then the PLplot svgqt device (which is actually a pretty important device since it produces human-readable files which are useful not only for plotting vector graphics but also for debugging purposes) should become available. > However, in the process of achieving this I had to install libtool and libltdl and that has now turned up another issue.

That and the other good results for test_<driver_name>_dyndriver that you presumably get means that your new libltdl is probably working OK in general, but that needs to be confirmed using the test_noninteractive target (see below). > Scanning dependencies of target test_cairo_dyndriver > [ 21%] Generating test_dyndrivers_dir/cairo.driver_info > Could not open driver module cairo > libltdl error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. > drivers/CMakeFiles/test_cairo_dyndriver.dir/build.make:55: recipe for target > `drivers/test_dyndrivers_dir/cairo.driver_info' failed > make[2]: *** [drivers/test_dyndrivers_dir/cairo.driver_info] Error 1 > CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2654: recipe for target > `drivers/CMakeFiles/test_cairo_dyndriver.dir/all' failed > make[1]: *** [drivers/CMakeFiles/test_cairo_dyndriver.dir/all] Error 2 > Makefile:146: recipe for target `all' failed > make: *** [all] Error 2 > > I will continue to search for the cause (some DLL missing?), but this is the > status so far. I suggest you might want to drop cairo temporarily and push ahead with full tests (test_noninteractive target) of all other PLplot components including qt just to confirm all is well with the noninteractive devices (except for the cairo ones) and also the new libltdl. Then move back to cairo and do the usual build-system debugging steps to find out what the issue might be with the cairo device driver. Those steps are to use the VERBOSE=1 option to find out the relevant linking command and the relevant run-time test that failed. Then running those exact same commands by hand to verify the issue and ultimately change the link command to fix it. Then modifying the build system to follow whatever fix you found worked when running everything by hand. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
