Hi, I'm on MS Windows, building with the MinGW port of gcc. I've been told (in an earlier thread on this list) that the png files produced using the GD driver are not as good as the png files delivered by pango-cairo, and I've seen first hand that the pango-cairo png files are excellent. However, it would really suit my purposes better if I could get png support via the GD driver - so I would at least like to build plplot with the support of that driver, and then weigh up for myself the matter of loss of quality versus convenience.
It's not apparent to me how one goes about building this driver. I do have a static build of the gd library already installed, and would like to use it if possible. (And I'd prefer to build the plplot library with -DENABLE_SHARED_LIBS=OFF, too.) If it's a lot easier to build a shared plplot, with a GD driver built against a shared GD library, then I could do that - and worry about how to get the job done statically iff I decide that the png quality is acceptable. Any advice on how to get this GD driver built ?
