I don't know perl and this seems rather beyond my CMake skills. If you don't think it would be easy then it isn't worth worrying about. But basically in the call to nm the correct path (for this build) would be src/Debug/plplot.lib (this was a static debug build) and it turns out that dblatex is in /usr/bin, not /bin. > As I said, if you are interested in having this working then great, but if not then no worries. Hi Phil: I think it would take too much effort for little extra benefit considering that you have already discovered a pure Cygwin recipe that works, and doc build capability is really only for developers and not for users. That is why I am also suggesting to Arjen that he follow your exact pure Cygwin recipe rather than trying the additional variant he had in mind (use the Windows version of TeX rather than the Cygwin version).
