My first promising attempt to backport the improvements made for the Itk version 4 build system to the Itk version 3 build system had some issues, but I got those sorted out today, and the result was that all Tcl components epa_built on both Linux and MinGW/MSYS. Since that success, I have tested this -DBUILD_THE_BUILDTOOLS=ON result with an epa_build of plplot_lite on MinGW/MSYS, and the results (except for the long-standing issues with Python) are encouraging. The test_diff_psc target yielded c++ Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : f95 Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : python Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 00 03 04 05 06 08 09 11 12 14a 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 29 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : 23 tcl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ada Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : adathick Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : lua Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : These complete results show the combination of a binary download of MinGW/MSYS, a binary download of Python for Windows, and an epa_build (for Tcl8.6 and friends) now gives access to a rather extensive list of our language bindings and examples for PLplot on MinGW/MSYS platforms. We have discussed the above 32-bit Python issues on my 32-bit Wine platform before. If I recall correctly, the summary is Arjen has confirmed the issue on 32-bit Windows, but Andrew does not see the issue for 32-bit Linux. Nobody has seen those issues for 64-bit Python on 64-bit Linux, however, I cannot recall if Arjen looked at the 64-bit Python case on 64-bit Windows. So it may not yet be clear whether this is simply a Windows Python issue or a 32-bit Python on 32-bit Windows issue. If nobody else can remember 64-bit on 64-bit Windows results, then follow up will be needed to pin that down. The final point I want to emphasize is the above Tcl results shows the epa_build of Tcl (version 8.6) is producing perfect noninteractive Tcl results on MinGW/MSYS. Furthermore, my planned work on the PLplot build system to deal with some fairly minor X-related logic issues should allow me to expand the good noninteractive test results I have now for Tcl to interactive Tk test results (with the ntk device) and possibly even interactive Itcl, Itk, and Iwidgets test results depending on what Arjen is able to accomplish (e.g., with our existing interactive colour palette adjustment capabilities for the plframe GUI and tk device) with the ntk device.
