At I time I wrote my "cry for help" ;-) I used CMake 2.8.4, which was the latest CMake version available, when I downloaded PLplot, CMake, xWidgets etc. nearly a month ago. Following your advice I deinstalled CMake 2.8.4 and installed CMake 2.8.5. I then went throught my build process again ... ... et voilá !!! There seemed to be no great difference (to be exact: there is no difference mentioned) in the summary of CMake. However, after I've loaded the Visual Studio project file, I was able to compile nearly all projects contained therein. I failed to generate the following projects: - generate_announcements - create_staging_announce - validate_announce-5.3.0 - validate_announce-5.3.1 - create-staging - test_wxPLplotdemo - test_c_svg - test_c_wingcc - test_c_wxwidgets - test_c_xfig - test_c_ps Except for the test_c_* projects I really do not care that much, because the *announce* projects and create_staging seem to refer to some documentation. > It's also possible that cmake-2.8.5 is still not suitable for your > chosen development environment since it takes a while for the cmake > developers to adjust to the latest Microsoft changes, and it is > possible (although less likely) that the CMake-based PLplot build > system needs adjustment as well for that case. > > If cmake-2.8.5 doesn't work properly for you, then I would recommend > trying MinGW/MSYS instead which has been tested fairly extensively by > our developers who use Microsoft Windows and also by me for the wine > version of Windows Currently, it seems, as if you've helped me a lot in getting further. I will now try to rebuild my C++ projects, which refer to some PLplot functionality. If that works, I will not need to try MinGW/MSYS. Otherwise I shall also have a look at this.
