Hello Alan and the list,
I've just got back to this after being away from it for a while. I have played with various CMAKE options to no avail, including the ones you mentioned. I have tried many combinations. This is the latest: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install .. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=C:\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9 -DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR=C:\MinGW\wxWidgets-2.8.9\lib -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=msw In an effort to get more information I modified the cmake\modules\wxwidgets.cmake by deleting the QUIET keyword from the command find_package(wxWidgets QUIET). This resulted in one additional line of output -- Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_FOUND) which immediately preceded the line -- WARNING: wxWidgets not found so setting PLD_wxwidgets to OFF. that is shown below. Not much help! I found a posting to a CMAKE mailing list: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-April/021251.html Could my problem be caused by a bug in the FindwxWidgets module? In any case, there must be someone who has done a successful build of PLplot for MinGW, and it would be a step forward for me. Even if I could just copy the directory structure and CMAKE options that someone else has used, that would be big help. Thanks for any advice. Jack Dodds > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan W.
