For those who recognise this, here's my problem:
LINK : fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option
'/machine:'
-------------
Sorry for a slightly random posting, but I've recommended plplot to a
couple of students doing a project under me, and they've hit a snag
trying to install plplot in Visual Studio. I've had a go myself,
although since I'm not a Windows person this is kind of the blind
leading the blind. My post-doc was successful some time ago, and gave us
some instructions which nearly worked, but perhaps things have changed
ever so slightly.
Environment:
plplot-5.9.9 fresh download
Visual Studio C++ 2010 running on Windows XP
cmake 2.8.6 fresh install (with exe's in every user's path)
It is critical, of course, to build from a dos command-line window from
within Visual Studio, so it can set up the necessary environment.
Firstly, the 5.9.9 tarball is missing README, so an initial build
failed. I faked that, as it was clearly not important. Here is my cmake
invocation (from my post-doc):
C:\Program Files\plplot\plplot_build>cmake "C:\Program Files\plplot
\plplot-5.9.9" -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBUILD_TEST=ON
-DENABLE_f77:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_java:BOOL=OFF -DENABLE_python:BOOL=OFF
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PATH="C:\Program Files\plplot\plplot_install"
This runs ok, but warns
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
CMAKE_INSTALL_PATH
which looks benign.
nmake runs and gets as far as the first compile/link I guess, and then
fails:
C:\Program Files\plplot\plplot_build>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.30319.01

LINK failed. with 1146
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\CMake 2.8\bin

code '0xffffffff'
Stop.
Any pointers about how to fix this? I haven't tried to hunt down the bit
of the makefiles cmake generates to find the /machine linker option, and
since I don't speak cmake very well either would probably be none the
wiser.
Thanks
Steve
