I looked into this possibility a bit further. However, it turns out that all the Wine documentation assumes familiarity with Windows which I don't have, and so configuring and using wine would be quite intimidating for me. Is there anybody here with experience both on Unix (either Mac OS X or Linux) and Windows that would be willing to pioneer building and testing PLplot on MinGW/wine? I hope somebody does step forward because that platform is an important platform in its own right and also because it provides a free avenue for our Linux and Mac OS X developers to help out with Windows platform testing. If someone is willing to pioneer the MinGW/Wine platform and give a cookbook of what to do, I would be happy to help out with continued testing on that platform.
