Thank you Benjamin, that [install and use mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake in the mingw64 shell] fixed it.
I was happy to hear that Benjamin solved this first issue for you. Just to follow up on what he said, I confirm the good PLplot results for the MSYS2 platform that I referred to in my previous post also used the "mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake" native package rather than the non-native (linked to msys2.dll) "cmake" package. You (and others reading this thread) should consult the patches at <https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-cmake> to see the various ways that the "mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake" package differs from vanilla cmake for Windows from Kitware. I agree with another poster's comments that if indeed some or all of those fixes are really necessary for the MSYS2 platform that ideally they should be adopted by the upstream CMake developers. So I hope those developers are (i) reading this thread and (ii) willing to follow up by looking at those patches. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
