CMake normally makes a pretty informed choice of what compilers to use, but the user can overide that choice by setting environment variables like CC, CXX, FC, etc. However, d is not a C compiler so that is a clear error in your environment variables which CMake has detected. To correct that error, I suggest you change the value of CC to nothing (that would be the command "CC=" on Linux, but I don't know the windows equivalent) or the name of the actual C compiler you want cmake to use. I suspect that C compiler must be the mingw one in order for the mingw Ada compiler to work properly, but I will know more once I have had a chance to test the Ada bindings and examples for PLplot under wine. > > It's sad that no stable version for Windows exist yet. > I guess that depends on what you mean by "stable". The truth is we have had plenty of testing of PLplot on Windows by many users with the usual result being success. (Otherwise, we could not claim to be a cross-platform library for plotting.) However, our windows users have not been that interested in Ada so testing of our Ada bindings and examples has not happened very much on Windows as far as I know. There are rules you need to follow in order to build software. For example, you cannot set the CC variable to something that is not a C compiler. Also, I am pretty sure you have to specify consistent C and Ada compilers to get the PLplot Ada bindings and examples to work on Windows. Once you follow both those rules, you may find success so I encourage you to try that. Meanwhile, I will be doing some of my own testing under wine. More later.
