I think it is a good idea to move this back to plplot-general so I have done so. Building and linking all our examples is an inherent part of testing PLplot so for general background help on your question above, please read http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Testing_PLplot. Those comments were written by me and are necessarily Unix-oriented (since I have no experience with Windows), but the new testing framework (available in our svn trunk version and soon to be released as part of 5.9.6) _should_ work on all Windows platforms both in the build tree and install tree. I believe Arjen is right in the middle of evaluating that new test framework on several Windows platforms. On Linux, you would find the specific building and linking commands for each of our examples (plus much more) using, e.g., make VERBOSE=1 test_noninteractive but you will have to ask our Windows experts here the equivalent of that verbose build, link, and test command with Windows tools. "test_noninteractive" is a target that obviously does a lot. If you want to get a lot more specific, then I suggest using the Windows equivalent of "make help" to find out what you want. For example, to find all the targets to build the 7th standard example in our various languages on Unix, try softw...@raven> make help |grep 07 ... x07a ... xthick07a ... x07c ... x07 ... x07d ... x07f ... x07f95 ... x07j ... target_x07ocaml The "a" suffix stands for Ada, the "c" suffix stands for C, no suffix stands for C++, the "d" suffix stands for D, the "f" suffix stands for Fortran 77, the "f95" suffix stands for Fortran 95, and "j" suffix stands for Java, and the "ocaml" index stands for OCaml. So if you wanted to find out how to build our 7th example under Fortran 95 on Unix, you would use make VERBOSE=1 x07f95 Note, our scripting languages such as Python or Octave do not have an examples build target associated with them for obvious reasons. I hope these general comments and overview help you and everybody else here with "how to build" questions. I assume that Arjen will add more Windows specifics here and on the Wiki once his Windows platform tests have been completed. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
