Re: [Plplot-general] Plplot on Mingw

Thanks again, Alan, Arjen, Steven for taking the time to provide so much information. I think I will put what I have in the next version of the Fortran Tools, since it *does work* and then definitely have a look at MinGW/MSYS and the Dependency walker. The other new thing I will include is Glade.

Yes, it appears that this is a little complicated. I build static, but linking an application was missing a bunch of stuff. One more (last?) question: Do you have an idea why I get only the 6 drivers, when I get more building on Cygwin? I am happy with what I have, so thanks again for all the ad

SUCCESS! The critical environment variable is PLPLOT_LIB, not that ENV thingie. I found it in the excellent documentation. I know--that is cheating, but I should have tried that again before pestering you guys. Another question: if I (or you) provide this install directory as a Windows binary di

As before, it seems I am making progress, but am stuck again. First I moved cmake to a location with no spaces in its path name and rebuilt plplot. All good as before. Leaving the install files where they were built, everything works with the driversd and the bin directory in my PATH and PLPLOT_D

Thanks for your usual very helpful reply. I guess Canada has a different Thanksgiving Day than the US, so you are tending to work as usual. I did most of what you said. My message was already wordy so I left out that I did the build with "install" as the prefix. As you saw from before, I moved all
