But the comprehensive test succeeded for C, C++, Fortran, Tcl and Tk. Oddly enough, not for Python 2. Cmake seems unable to find the libraries or the header files. Well, I hope to have a look at that later. Hi Arjen: Thanks for this additional test on MinGW-w64/MSYS2 with your new installation of that platform. I have summarized this good test result (and also your prior good test for Cygwin) at <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Testing%20Reports> For your new installation of MinGW-w64/MSYS2 there is still a lot of package installation incompleteness, see footnotes j1, C1, D1, D2, F1, G2, H2, I1, and J1. But it is a good start that is suitable for this release, and I will remark more to you off list concerning how to rectify that package incompleteness issue for the next time (presumably post-release) when you repeat this comprehensive test. (And for this test, if I got any of those footnotes wrong, please let me know, and I will change them.) I believe you mentioned previously that you planned to test the combination of MSVC + ifort for this release? If you have done that I would appreciate you letting me know the results for our release notes (concerning the part of those release notes detailing what new Fortran binding tests were done. Also, please let me know the version of MSVC and ifort you used so I can record that in the release notes. By the way, you might find as a result of those tests that you have to upgrade bindings/f95/plplotf95_ifort.def since that was last updated in February 2016 (!) and there have been some Fortran changes since. Also, I have a feeling you have a Windows batch file you run to automate your run-time testing of MSVC + ifort. Would you be willing to distribute that file with PLplot [in the scripts subdirectory?] for the benefit of other testers of the MSVC + ifort combination? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
