Hello Vincenzo, I saw you already contacted the CMake mailing list about the problem, and I think you are right about that. Borland C++ does seem to be supported by CMake, but I am not sure the combination Borland C++ and CVF is. (I have no experience myself with Borland - or at least not in any recent years.)
Can you use a different C compiler? You might want to try the GNU range of compilers under MinGW, as that combination does work properly. It is - in principle - possible to make this combination work, especially as we use DLLs and shared libraries in PLplot to combine different programming languages. But for that we need to know a bunch of things about naming and calling conventions. Before going that route it may be wise to wait for any reactions from the CMake list.
