Hi Thorston,
do you still need help with plplot on Windows. Although, I'm using VS 2008,
here a short step by step description how I made it compile and run:
Used components:
PLplot 5.9.7
cmake 2.8.4
VS 2008 Express
Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt
cd c:\
mkdir plplot
cd plplot
mkdir install
mkdir package
mkdir build
cd build
-> than copy the whole content of the plplot-5.9.7 package into the
c:\plplot\package directory
than copy wxWidgets c:\plplot (in my case, I did this, because I have no
wxWidgets installed and I also do not want to install it, because I have to use
exactly the version which is in our internal subversion)
set path=c:\plplot\build\dll;%path%
set WXWIN=c:\plplot\wxWidgets
set WXWINDLL=%WXWIN%\lib\vc_dll
cmake c:\plplot\package -G "NMake Makefiles" -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=%WXWIN%
-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR=%WXWINDLL% -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=mswu
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\plplot\install -DENABLE_f77=OFF -DENABLE_f95=OFF
-DENABLE_python=OFF -DENABLE_java=OFF -DENABLE_tcl=OFF -DENABLE_itcl=OFF
-DENABLE_tk=OFF -DENABLE_itk=OFF -DENABLE_ada=OFF -DENABLE_pdl=OFF
-DENABLE_d=OFF -DENABLE_ocaml=OFF -DENABLE_qt=OFF -DENABLE_octave=OFF
-DENABLE_lua=OFF -DDEFAULT_NO_QT_DEVICES=ON -DHAVE_QHULL=OFF
-DWITH_FREETYPE=OFF -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DENABLE_DYNDRIVERS=OFF
nmake
nmake install
ATTENTION: (before I run cmake, I had to do the following)
In the file: C:\plplot\package\cmake\modules\FindwxWidgets.cmake
I had to comment out the line:
SET(wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG _DEBUG __WXDEBUG__)
Without doing that, the debug system libs where used for a part of the plplot
build. I do not know, why the automatic detection went wrong here.
Good Luck!
Michal
