Hi Arjen and Alan,
Looking into both your replies, I think I did not properly set up a lot of path
parameters for tcl LIB and INCLUDE. I am wondering what are the path
environment variables that I have to setup ? Any instruction/documentation for
reference ?
Regards
Chen

Hi Shen-Yeh,
To clarify what Alan said, capturing the output from CMake is done via:
cmake …options… >&cmake.out
The last bit of the command captures the output to both “standard output” and
“standard error” and both may be important in diagnosing the
issue(s).
Note that the Tcl bindings for PLplot indeed become available as a loadable
DLL, so it should be possible to distribute it as any Tcl extension
(perhaps with a bit of extra work, as the installation procedure copies a
number of files in a directory that is not the same as the DLL’s.(*))
Regards,
Arjen
(*) I have been thinking about that bit – it makes distributing PLplot as a
Tcl package a bit more complicated than it might need to be. It is on my TODO
list.)
