Hi Alex
As Arjen said I think htmlto and cp should be part of the documentation build,
which currently cannot be done on Windows (unless you do it through Cygwin).
Did you follow the basic build instructions on the wiki that you linked? If so
and you had problems then we need to update that wiki so other's don't have
similar issues. As Alan said we could do with a bit more info
1) what parameters did you pass to cmake? Please just copy the command.
2) what are your values of C_FLAGS and CXX_FLAGS environment variables?
3) in visual studio, which project did you build? Note you need to right click
the install project and build that or you might find the documentation build is
attempted.
4) can you copy the error message from visual studio so we can see the full
details.
Phil

Hi Alexander, Alan,
I checked this: on my system, grep occurs in the project file
bindings/swig_support/check_plplotcapi_defines.vcxproj. Apparently I did not
have enough components installed to also get references to xmlto and cp, my
guess is they come from the documentation part.
What happens if you use the “NMake Makefiles” generator?
What projects did you try to build?
Regards,
Arjen
