Hi all, I've sent this question as a Support Request on SFnet and was referred to this mailing list (not without some good initial help, thanks smekal).
The case is this: I'm trying to get PLplot to work together with Octave on a (urks) Windows machine. PLplot compiles (and runs) fine for GCC but as soon as I enable the Octave binding, I get this: > mingw32-make [..] [ 43%] Generating plplot_octave.cc, tmp_stub '-' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. matwrap: C preprocessor exited with error status mingw32-make[2]: *** [bindings/octave/plplot_octave.cc] Error 2 mingw32-make[1]: *** [bindings/octave/CMakeFiles/plplot_octave.dir/all] Error 2 mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2 The "is not recognized" expression is a Windows command line error message when it tries to open/run something that does not exist. I have traced the error to the perl script matwrap, line ~211 (plus/minus) where it seems that the program wants to try and fork - which, in Windows, leads to problems. What can I do?
