We used to use autotools, but that turned out to create quite a few maintenance issues, especially on Windows. CMake may not be ideal, but it has turned out to be a very good solution for building PLplot on all the platforms we support. What options would you call relevant? Do w need to fill in gaps in the documentation? (I do not mean it ironically, we developers are too close to the project to see most of the gaps and we need people like you to point them out, so please provide us with some more details) Regards, Arjen DISCLAIMER: This message is intended exclusively for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
