Understood for your normal use case. But you should not need gcc 5.1 just to test that PLplot is working. So my point remains for the special case of reporting bugs, you should stick to Windows platforms we currently support (MinGW, MinGW/MSYS, Cygwin, MSVC) or platforms where we plan to support them in the near future (MinGW-w64/MSYS2). Fortunately, for the first bug you reported, Arjen could verify it on MinGW/MSYS and solve it for that platform. But his comprehensive tests on that platform and on Cygwin reveals no sign of the bug you reported below. So Arjen is going to have to do some guessing to solve that issue you found on TDM. He is a pretty smart guy so he might guess what is wrong, but that is far from ideal so you might get a much quicker resolution to the issue if you demonstrated it on one of our supported platforms above or else on MinGW-w64/MSYS2. I have no access (other than a very slow wine platform) to Windows myself so I hasten to add I make no promises for Arjen for the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 case because he is a busy guy, but we are all in agreement that is a platform which we should support on Windows, and a report from you for the pure MinGW-w64/MSYS2 case might motivate Arjen to attempt a comprehensive test on that platform if he cannot guess what the problem is on TDM.
