To give some quick background for my answer, our build system enables three principal configurations: (1) Shared PLplot libraries + dll device drivers which are dynamically loaded by our core shared library (identified by its "plplot" basename). (2) Shared PLplot libraries + device driver code embedded in our core shareded library (identified by its "plplot" basename). (3) Static PLplot libraries + device driver code embedded in our core static library (identified by its "plplot" basename). In case (1) the wxwidgets device driver dll (with basename of wxwidgets) exists, but otherwise that dll does not exist for cases (2) and (3). Of course, that device driver dll must be distinguished from the wxwidgets binding library (identified with the basename of plplotwxwidgets) which exists in all 3 cases, and which in cases (1) and (2) will be shared and in case (3) will be static. I am not sure whether you are referring to the wxwidgets device driver (which if you use a static build will make it become part of the plplot library) or plplotwxwidgets library above. As far as I know, our build system handles all build dependencies of wxwidgets (when it exists for case (1)), our plplot library (both without [case (1)] and with [cases (2) and (3)] wxwidgets device driver code embedded in it) and the plplotwxwidgets library. Can you give me an example of a wxwidgets-related specific target (e.g., wxwidgets, plplot, plplotwxwidgets, wxPLviewer, test_wxPLplotDemo, or even wxPLplotDemo) (where I include plplot in the list for just cases (2) and (3) and exclude wxwidgets for those cases) that you attempt to (re)build with your Windows IDE that obviously has incorrect dependencies? Also, you cannot change horses in mid-stream, i.e., you cannot change a build tree that is configured for (1), (2), or (3) into one of the other cases. Instead, you have to start fresh with an empty build tree for each of those three cases. Is that the source of the dependency difficulty you have encountered? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
