Hi Arjen: Thanks for your replies on the degree of testing and what components of PLplot you tested on your different Windows platforms. That's going to be a big help to users. > The hardware of the laptop I test on has an Intel Core i7 processor. That information is useful as well. It appears from web sources that the Intel Core i7 processor you use is 64-bit. Intel are quite coy about labelling their 64-capabilities because their Itanium 64-bit "IA-64" processor was a huge technological and marketing failure so they ended up copying AMD's 64-bit design for their modern hardware. They referred to that design by several names before finally settling on "Intel 64". But AMD called that 64-bit design AMD64. Since they were first with that design, "AMD64" is the term I will use to refer to your hardware (and virtually everyone else here who did tests). There is some additional information I need as well if it is straightforward for you to figure it out. * Version of the underlying Windows OS (e.g., Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8) for all three of your platforms (Cygwin, MinGW, and MSVC). * Whether that OS is a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version. * Whether Cygwin is the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version * gcc version for your Cygwin platform. The command "gcc --version" should help you figure that out for that platform. * MinGW version for your pure MinGW platform. The command "gcc --version" should help you figure that out for that platform. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
