Subject: Re: [Plplot-general] Building plplot on Windows 10

Surely others besides me have tried to build and run Plplot on Windows ???

>>AM: Yes, certainly, which is why it is important to the project in my opinion 
>>to determine what needs to be improved.

The key to the build (cmake) was to use the -D options you suggested.

>>AM: My ideal is that you can build without any such options, but that is 
>>perhaps too idealistic.

The problem with compiling was that I was nowhere close to having the right
library options (so the order was kind of irrelevant :-(). Setting the 
environment variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH and executing pkg-config produced all sorts of stuff, including
Windows system libraries, DLLs (in spite of the fact that I built static libs), 
etc.
I also had to add one -l option to find a demo lib for one of the supplied demo 
*.f90 files.

>>AM: Right, the demo library is not part of the PLplot libraries perse โ€“ it is 
>>intended only for the Fortran examples.

I am not in the same location as the computer on which I did all this, but, if 
you think it would
help, I can send you the result of the pkg-config execution later (tomorrow?).

>>AM: That would certainly be helpful!

I will do anything I can to help others avoid all of this trauma (and drama). 
Just let me know.

Again, thanks for your help. I probably would have given up some time ago 
without your
continued suggestions.
