Alan, The version I'm using is from git, but after doing a remote fetch, I can see that I'm a few commits behind. I'm working off of 0bfe721. Happy to provide as many details as you need. Should I advance first and see if its fixed? Is there a bug submission std I can check out to see how much detail you'd like?
Thanks, Aaron. -----Original Message----- From: Alan W.

From time to time we try and clean up some aspect of this issue, but it is a low priority because it is so easy to use PATH's without spaces in them. > > I started with Qt configured for dynamic linking > > 2) I tried to build PLplot as a shared lib, then realized that was not > really going to work for me since my application accessed some other > normally private functions, not exported in the DLL (pldtik, pldprec, etc). > > 3) I tried to build PLplot as a static lib (which I normally do for my > app anyway).

Are you using PLplot-5.10.0 or the git master tip version (which is about to turn into PLplot-5.11.0)? I would prefer you to try the master tip version if you haven't been doing that already because it has been a very long time since 5.10.0 was released, I am much more familiar with the master tip version, and I would like to get the master tip version tested as well as possible before the 5.11.0 release. For example, if you spot a USINGDLL issue for that version (such as USINGDLL being defined for the static library case), please let me know with lots of details.
