That is wonderful news, indeed.

This sounds like you are trying to build the DocBook-based documentation (using -DBUILD_DOC=ON). But you are right, that does require a whole bunch of Unix tools so on Windows it is only possible with Cygwin (or possibly MinGW-w64/MSYS2 which is a recent spinoff from Cygwin). So for your situation it is best to just stick to the default in this case which is -DBUILD_DOC=OFF. Also, PLplot has a really nice test framework (where, for example, you test all non-interactive devices for all our standard examples using the "make test_noninteractive" command. You can turn at least part of that framework on with the -DBUILD_TEST=ON option. But for such targets as test_noninteractive to be available with -DBUILD_TEST=ON you really must have bash.exe and a few other Unix tools on your PATH. So theoretically, you could do that by putting Cygwin executables on your PATH, but still building PLplot with native MSVC Windows compilers. But nobody has tried that yet with PLplot. Anyhow, my big thanks for reporting this unresolved reference issue with MSVC _before_ the release so we will not be embarrassed after the release by this issue! Best wishes, and enjoy your brand new working PLplot! Alan __________________________ Alan W.
