I had Plplot working (static) and then installed GTK and it quit working. So I tried to build the dynamic (DLL) version and that now works again.
If anybody is interested, here is the result of pkg-config (after the -L option was changed): $ echo $PLOT_LIB -LC:\Fortran_Tools\lib -lplplotfortran -lplplot -lplfortrandemolib -ltcl.dll -ltk.dll C:/Windows/System32/gdi32.dll C:/Windows/System32/comdlg32.dll -lfreetype.dll -lfreetype.dll -lcsirocsa -lqsastime -LC:/Fortran_Tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0 -lstdc++.dll -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex Thanks again for the help. I hope I don't have to go through all this again when you guys do another update!
