Re: [Plplot-general] Problem with LNK2019 error unresolved external

[David Bergman via Plplot-general]

Two different approaches to the build were given to me.?? But essentially 
the same result, I set an install prefix and the bin, lib, share, and 
doc folders are deposited.?? I was speaking shorthand when I said 
"install dir", I simply meant that I was using the lbs and dlls from the 
correct folders in which they were placed after running the INSTALL 
project.?? I had stated previously that I removed ALL older builds so 
there was NO occurrence of plplot related code anywhere on the machine.

Yes, it is true that you should never mix various PLplot versions.
And because of the possibility of version clashes from an old install
folder, if you are working within the build folder you should refer to
nothing in the install folder, e.g., don't refer to the install folder in
your PATH, and better yet, when making a fresh start, always remove
all old install folders before proceeding.

Anyhow, I too am extremely happy to hear from David that he has found 
a solution.

Okay, wow.?? The following seems to have fixed the issue.?? I did not

I am having some deja vu in that last time I was unable to get the 
install to work and made a monolithic folder canned plplot-man (for 
manual) in which I dropped the dll and lib files into.


I used everything in there just to be sure I didn't miss anything.


I still do not understand why but I'm just glad I'm past it. Could 
the install have corrupted a file that appears in the install 
folders??? Could that have been from the hanging I get using VS 2017 
for the install??? I am not sure if the install project just moves 
files around or implements some additional bindings etc.



Most likely I just did something wrong.?? In that case please accept

 Phil, 
Thank you very much for the help.  I will try these edits and see how it 
goes.As for specifying the size of the window (as per your last email).  I've 
shied away from that as it screwed up the splitter windows construction I 
had.This suggestion looks like the best route, will let you know how it 
works.David

 Hi David again

Just to let you know that a way to get the automatic text sizing to
work correctly without specifying an initial size for your window
would be to wait until the window is displayed to call your Plot
routine. You could do this by catching the first resize event or first
paint event and calling Plot at that point.

Or if you wish to manually set text size you should note that
pls->adv() and pls->env() (which calls plsadv()) reset the size to
what plplot thinks is the best. Hence you must do the work of
pls->env() manually. In your case, replace pls->env() with

 pls->clear();
 pls->vsta();
 pls->wind(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax);
 pls->schr(5.0, 1.0);
 plbox("bcnst", (PLFLT) 0.0, 0, "bcnstv", (PLFLT) 0.0, 0);
 pls->schr(8.0, 1.0);
 pls->lab("x", "y", "sin(x)/x");

replacing the values 5.0 and 8.0 witht he size you want your numbers
and labels (in mm).

 Alan,

 I regret waiting this long to reply but have had a lot of work.
 To tell you the truth I am not sure what exactly caused the issue but
 I've deleted the "wxOVERRIDE" from the code, which was clearly a copy-paste
 from a wxWidgets example.

 I copied the simple.cpp code into the PLplot-Widgets example.

 cmake and nmake both ran find but cmake install generated the following
 fatal error.  Recall that I had quite a bit of trouble getting it to 
 install
 the first time and I may have missed an option that is required.  Not sure
 if my error is due to the same issue that caused your error.

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David Bergman via Plplot-general]

Phil, 
Thanks for reaching out.At this point the VS IDE build and install has never 
worked right, without massive errors.  The latest trial produced the release 
version without error but not the debug.
 Following the instructions for a command line build, with help from Arjen, in 
windows (not Cygwin) produced a directory without errors.  The IDE build and 
the command prompt build are significantly different in the content (in my 
opinion).  
I've been able to build a VS project from scratch using PLplot headers and dll 
and it worked.  So, I'm counting that as a success.  I have not yet had a 
chance to do more complex plots, fully test the functions, or integrate with 
widgets which is my intent.  I may need more help in the future.
I will say that there was one dll that the VS compiler/linker said was 
corrupted but I don't recall which one.Just to get past it and get something 
working I deleted this from the project.  It may come back to bite me later.

David

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David Bergman via Plplot-general]

Arjen, Thanks.  I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning. 
 
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

PLD_cairo

I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo.  No luck.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. On another note, not sure is you 
saw my other email status.  Installing from the IDE seemed to work for the 
Release build but not the Debug, several projects failed to build.  I cannot 
decipher why one would build and the other not.  Additionally the *.exe for the 
examples did not get created as in previous installs.  It seems that each try 
produces a different state.
Thank you in advance.David

Hi David,
 
  
 
Wrt your message (it got caught in my spam filter for reasons best known to 
itself):
 
  
 
“Arjen, 
 
  
 
I just installed CMake 3.9.4 and tried the build from a DOS command prompt (not 
using VS INSTALL).  Same issues, partial output is attached.
 
It crashes at ciaro [26%].  Do I need ciaro to use plplot?
 
  
 
David”
 
  
 
Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the 
cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to 
take care of that is to use the option –DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build 
system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David Bergman via Plplot-general]

Additional info.
The cmd prompt install with cmake/nmake did not work (see previous 
email).Trying the IDE build again got me somewhere.  Both the Debug and Release 
builds and INSTALLs seem to have worked with the exception of 
test_wxwidgets_dyndriver in both and test_wingcc_dyndriver in the Release build.
 
So, I'm closer to having this built.  There are DLL in two locations.  I'm not 
sure if the two failed builds are critical or how to fix them.
Thanks in advance.David

Hi David,
 
  
 
I also saw that you are using version 3.10 of CMake. I use 3.9.4 myself. Could 
you try with that version?

Hi David,
 
  
 
I see the regular output to the screen from Cmake, but I do not see the 
messages:
 
-- Configuring done
 
-- Generating done
 
-- Build files have been written to: (build directory)
 
I am not sure if they are written to standard output or standard error, but did 
you see these messages?

Arjen, 
 
  
 
Attached is an output from cmake and the CMakeCache file from the Debug dir.
 
Ideally I would like to use it with visual studio as I have wxWidgets working 
in that environment, but building with the IDE is not essential.
 
  
 
Really, I'd like to understand what is happening.
 
  
 
I recently deleted all plplot folders and started from scratch.  Following the 
same instructions as before I could not get the same state back, the *.exe in 
the examples folders were working but integration with wxwidgets with the 
widgets driver was not.  Now the INSTALL build is given some 30,000 errors.  
So, I've taken a step backwards.
 
  
 
Thank you in advance,
 
David

Hi Jim, David,
 
 
 
I regularly build PLplot with Cygwin, MinGW-w64/MSYS2 and “bare” Windows 
(though not via VS) and can assure you that it all works fine. The 
configuration via CMake checks what libraries are available and will create 
makefiles that are suitable for the system. So the problems David reports are a 
bit puzzling.
 
 
 
David, we need the output from CMake at the very least to see what is going on 
(or not). It will help if you can also send the CMakeCache.txt file, as this 
shows what variables are set.
 
 
 
Regards,
 
 
 
Arjen

I’ve been using msys2 and mingw lately and have not tried cygwin in awhile.  
Can you reply with a log file from cmake?  Thanks
