Hi Walt: Six hours later (because the builds of PLplot dependencies on Wine are really slow for the reasons I mentioned and one false start that wasted a couple of hours) I finally got to the point of building PLplot using the "MinGW Makefiles" generator against epa_built versions of all its dependencies other than the GTK+ stack and the official 32-bit binary version of GTK+ for Windows which is supposed to be compatible with MinGW. The result verified the PLplot "MinGW Makefiles" build-system issue that Walt found previously on Microsoft Windows (which also verifies once again that Wine is a fairly reliable but slow! Windows test platform); for some strange reason parts of the GTK+ stack are being found by pkg-config but other parts are not being found so the overall effect is the cairo devices are all being dropped. This pkg-config result works fine on Linux so the whole thing is quite a puzzle. I will look further at this tomorrow (Wednesday) now I have confirmed this Windows platform PLplot build-system (or perhaps pkg-config) issue for the PLplot pango/cairo stack dependencies.
