Hi Shen-Yeh: PLplot-5.10.0 is quite old now and effectively unsupported because we are about (probably within the next 4 days) to release PLplot-5.11.0 based on the git master branch tip version. So please use that latest version for your further experiments with PLplot. Note for that version (for reasons given in README.release) we no longer honor the LIB_TAG variable so setting that as you do above will simply generate a warning about that value being ignored. Also, "almost" PLplot-5.11.0 has many fixes in it including dealing with a number of "blank-in-pathname" issues. So if a blank in one of your pathnames (say the location of your Tcl/Tk installation) is the source of your troubles with PLplot-5.10.0, then "almost" PLplot-5.11.0 might solve that. Normally, our build system (at least for the latest git version) uses commands in a tclsh environment and wish environment to figure out a consistent Tcl/Tk configuration. So adjust your PATH environment variable so that the tclsh and wish commands are accessible, but I presume you are doing that already. Also, if your Tcl/Tk installation is in a non-standard location, then you will probably need to set the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables appropriately to help cmake find that installation. In any case, if something is still wrong with how cmake configures your nmake build, please capture the output from the cmake command that you use for the "almost" PLplot-5.11.0 version, and send the compressed version of that result as an attachment to your post to this list to help us diagnose what is wrong.
