I just completed a fresh PLPlot 5.15 build on a fresh install of
Windows 8.1 using a fresh install of VS 2013 update 5 on a virtual
machine. I can't recreate your problem with any of the C++ examples
that call delete pls. The only thing that I can think of at this point
is that possibly your copy of VS doesn't have the latest updates applied.

a corrupted OS if it had been installed from an image that was
corrupted before the drive crash occurred. Unfortunately this new
build produced the exact same error for the plplot examples, namely
heap issue related to ntdll.dll upon calling "delete pls", deletion of
the pl stream.
This type of thing is beyond me. If anyone has more suggestions I
would appreciate it.
Thank you,

Hi David
Sorry I've not been back to you again on this. I've been away with
work and had a week laid up with flu.
For your dll build. Can you open the plplot.sln. Where it says
platform at the top, check it says x64. If you hit the drop down, the
only option should be x64.
[BD] Yes, everything was x64.
How have you created the sln for the example? Did you do it manually
or using the -DBUILD_TEST=ON option with cmake?
[DB] I did it manually.
If you did it manually then check the x64 is set in your example at
the top when you open it in visual studio.
[DB] Yes, x64 was the choice.
If this doesn't work then try emptying your build directory and
rerunning cmake including the test option from above.
[DB] I did try that and having -DBUILD_TEST=ON causes the build to fail.
Now when you open the plplot.sln file you will find a set of example
projects in the solution explorer. Try right clicking and building
one of these.
Some other things you can try:
Install dependency walker and run this on your example executable -
it should show you the dlls it is using which might give you a clue.
[DB] I'll give this a try. I've never used it.
Try using the "where" command from the command line. Something like
where plplot.dll
Should list all instances of plplot.dll on your path. You may wish to
run this from the working directory of your example - I'm not sure,
but maybe it makes a difference.
Hope that helps you make progress.

Hello,
I wanted to reach out, yet again, to try and resolve some of the
issues I'm having with getting plplot to install and work. I really
don't know why this has been so difficult. Based on some advice I
received reaching out to the widgets and plplot user groups and my
own review of my system I decided to completely delete my current
plplot and wxwidgets builds and start over.
This is for my Windows 8.1 laptop using VS 2017, x64. I also removed
every occurrence of older versions of widgets and plplot even though
I made sure they were not in the path. So I started with a
completely clean system in this regard.
I installed wxwidgets using the sln provided and that went without
any issue.
The I built and installed plplot using cmake followed by the sln
without any trouble at all.
I made sure both were built with the x64 (64 bit) option chosen so as
to not mix 32 and 64 bit.
Trying to build and run one of the plplot examples (x64 option) leads
to the following:
(1) dynamic linking causes a corrupt dll error (likely cause 32 and
64 mix, but I can't see how that is).
(2) static linking works! but I still get a system crash upon closing
the terminal.
I cannot offer more than what I've provided in previous email
threads. It seems that there are a few things I'm doing wrong but I
just cannot see based on following the directions, or there is a bad
combo of packages, SDK toolkit, and OS.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Corrupt file error sounds like you are mixing 64 and 32 bit exes and

that was my mistake.
Is your install bin directory on your path? Do you have any old dlls
somewhere that might be on your path?
I usually use static libs. I used a dll version of wxwidgets about 6
months ago, so I know things worked back then. But I'm back to using
static libs again. I will build a dll version of plplot this evening
and send you exactly the commands I used.

Phil,
I've gotten a little further. I tried to run one of the examples
building a VS project and sln. Making sure everything was aligned w/r
to he choice x64 I got a corrupted file error.
Error LNK1107 invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x310
plplotExamples C:\build-plplot-new-man\dll\csirocsa.dll 1
I am not sure what to do. Looking through some of the old blog posts
of the issues I had last year it seems that is was also an issue then.
When you do your build were you able to get everything using the sln
or did you have to install at the command prompt too. That rings a
bell and I think I wound up using nmake.
Can you confirm your build/install procedure and perhaps shed some
light on why csirocsa.dll would be corrupted?
Thank you for your help.

Hi David
Sounds like either one of the libs has been forgotten, or you are
building a 32bit exe and trying to link to the 64 bit libs you just built.
Might be worth noting that I think the naming convention of the libs
changed at some point. They used to have a d suffix to indicate using
double precision. This has been dropped I think. So you might need to
update the lib names in your project.

Phil,
As per our last correspondence I had succeeded in getting the widgets
headers and drivers built when I changed from Win64 to no Win64. But
I still got an install error in the IDE (sent in a previous email).
You had suggested that perhaps I didn't build widgets using 64bit so I
decided to purge everything and start over. I built the widgets files
using their sln with x64 set. Then built plplot with cmake no problem
and widgets was declared ON as expected. Using the IDE and the sln to
INSTALL led to hanging and errors three times in a row. After the 3rd
time I just looked in the folders and figured if I can find everything
I might be okay. My recollection is that this happened last time too
(back in 2017).
The example I was trying to run was a simple one of my own that
plotted various 3-dim mesh surfaces.
I did not try to build the official plplot examples yet. Perhaps I
should try that first.
I don't know if what I've written is helpful in helping you help me
get it working.

All,
I have made some progress with building and installing the new plplot
with a new wxwidets using VS 2017.
I still have not gone past the install process in the IDE w/o an error
but I seem to have all the headers and dll I need (though I'm not sure
if they are corrupted).
At present I've decided to move forward with what I have and try a
simple example I wrote that worked with my previous config.
I get unresolved externals, 14 to be exact. Basically every plplot
function I call seems to cause this. A few example are provided.
plAlloc2dGrid
and all the plstream functions like box3, col0, font, etc.
Typically what I cause this it's due to a function declaration in a
class that is not defined elsewhere.
It "seems like" my new build has the same files as the old one and the
projects are comparable (with only diffs being the location of the new
folders).
Thanks in advance for your help.
David
