Hi Alan, Linda,
I will have a look at this.
I never heard of "Philrosenberg" either, but indeed, the best if not the
only way to do multiple builds is by resevering separate directories for
them. This may not be the common way of working with Visual Studio, as
that creates subdirectories for each configuration in the directory
containing the project files, but in my experience with PLplot and CMake
it is much easier to keep track of things - if only that is easier to
delete a complete directory and its contents than to remove all the
subdirectories one by one.
The first messages about the manifest file are suspicious - they may
have resulted in the access violation, as at run-time the manifest
information is queried.
What happens if you simply do:
cmake "plplot dir" -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -DBUILD_TEST=ON
(replacing "plplot dir" with the directory where you have put the
PLplot sources)?
Regards,
Arjen
