Those instructions have apparently been heavily edited by somebody called Philrosenberg who I have never heard of. I don't have access to Windows, but I know enough from the Linux side of things that I can well believe those directions don't work. Why all these complications with all combinations of -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, and -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF? On Linux, I leave CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE unspecified, and also take the default BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON. I suspect that one combination will work well for you. However, if you absolutely need to build four versions of PLplot with the four configuration combinations -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF then the four builds should be absolutely independent of each other. That is use a separate initially empty build directory for each one, and use a separate install tree for each one. Mixing various configurations together in the same build tree like he recommends is a recipe for disaster! Could one of our Windows developers edit that page into a form that is much more likely to work? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
