Is there an "official" precompiled release for win32 and/or win64? If that were the case I would just use that, and bring it into my cross environment. On the other hand, if the standard installation is for one is to build their own for maximum tool chain & platform compatibility, then cross c

I have no idea why this works, but it seems to! All I changed is the data dir. This is astonishing. Surely there must be some problems that show up later. I think I'm missing support for some major stuff - were does this nearest neighbors library come into the picture? Never the less, here is a

Thanks for the input on cross compiling with cmake. Using the latest version of cmake, and the documentation I made a number of attempts to use mingw to build a win32 plplot from a linux host. By the end of the day Friday I reached the conclusion that although this is probably possible using th
