Sorry A., I am using MSYS2 (or Cygwin).
And I am not using the Visual Studio generator (at least
I didn't intend to do so).
I tried various -G options: "Unix Makefiles", etc. and got various
error messages, so thought I would just try once without it (i.e.,
the command as shown on the web site).
The error messages listed a bunch of generators and "Unix
Makefiles" seemed to be the only one in the list that made sense
to me.
I agree it must be my system that has a problem and I certainly
did not think there was a problem with plplot on Windows, in general. I
just don't know how to build it.
If anyone can sen me a cmake command that works for either MSYS2
or Cygwin
Hi Walt:
I agree, "Unix Makefiles" is your best choice for both Cygwin and MSYS2.
So to get you started try (from the bash shell which is available on both
platforms)
# Assuming you have unpacked the plplot-5.14.0 tarball in the directory
plplot-5.14.0
cd plplot-5.14.0
mkdir build_dir
cd build_dir
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .. >& cmake.out
make VERBOSE=1 >& make.out
And send us the resulting cmake.out, make.out and CMakeCache.txt files.
