Stephan, perhaps you can help then. I have never had an easy time
getting plplot to build and install with VS in my environment and right
now my current build/install crashes when I close any app that uses
plplot. I do not know why. But there is another reason and that is
that my dell tower is not on-line and VS requires monthly renewal of the
license for their Express or Community editions of the VS IDE. I may
still be able to use the compilers but hadn't considered that.

Is there a reason why you've moved from Visual Studio to MinGW and
CodeBlocks? I've built several releases of PLPlot for Windows in the
past using Visual Studio and had no problems. As Visual Studio is the
most popular development environment for Windows, support for building
PLPlot and its dependencies is a bit more solid and you'll find there
are more folks out there who can lend a hand when you do run into a
problem. I'd suggest switching back to VS unless you have some good
reasons for switching to CodeBlocks/MinGW.

I have the patch but the file changes indicated in the header do not
match lines the appear in the /mingw/include/stdlib.h.
I'm guessing that I have a different distribution, the one that comes
with code blocks, and the c/c++ headers are not the same (though
hopefully do the same thing).
I agree that this is clearly not a widgets issue but I'm still including
that group since you were able to help so far. I am very reluctant to
edit the stdlib.h file I have if the line numbers and sample info do not
match at all. Can you confirm which version of MinGW you applied the
patch to? Perhaps I will just get that one, or another compiler
supported by Code Blocks and start over.
