Thanks Aaron for that report: The only quibble with your report that I have is it should be directed to plplot-general so I have done that in this reply. Someone else found the same missing lround build issue for MSVC 2012 which we have literally just now (commit id 0bfe721) worked around with a placeholder. (This is allowed because plmetafile.c is completely experimental code which is currently unused except for one new test application, and plmetafile.c will likely have a lot of revision post-release just where lround was used in any case.) Anyhow, try master tip again. Also, for all those here trying the git version, I highly recommend you sign up for our git feed which gives you e-mail notification of our git changes.
