Re: [Plplot-devel] Is it time to move to version 2 of the D language?

2012-10-02 Thread Alan W. Irwin
P.S. I had obviously completely forgotten the thread on this very subject last January with a subject line of D language bindings - future directions but I have found that thread now. The executive summary was we all more or less agreed it was time to move to D2 (although nothing has been done s

[Plplot-devel] Is it time to move to version 2 of the D language?

2012-10-02 Thread Alan W. Irwin

Hi Andrew: I have been gradually building up my gcc-4.7 related tool chain for my new Debian wheezy system, but I have now run into a problem for gnat (Ada). The issue is the Debian packager for gnat simply decided to skip packaging of gnat-4.7 (with no public discussion I can find of why he made

Hi Phil, Alan, just tested this on Windows, using MS VC/C++ 2008 and GCC (MinGW) with CMake 2.8.7: With the option BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF, the build process results in static libraries (for PLplot, csirocsa and qsastime, the default libraries that are usually built on my system). The only dynamic
