Hi guys, I have one specific plplot question then I will give a lot of background info that I'm fairly certain would come up in the ensuing Q/A for the issue. The foreground is, I'm building GDL on mingw32, GDL wants to (optionally) bring in a number of libraries to accomplish added functionalities.
The Question: How do I get a specially-named libplplot version to function? I wish to have libplplot-v2.dll be the shared that libplplot.dll.a is an import for - built and held in a directory separately specified. A copy of libplplot-v2.dll is then kept in the runtime path alongside the standard versions libplplot.dll, libplplotcxx.dll, wingcc.dll, etc. v2 version is actually "nodyn" - all of the same source except dynamic drivers are not enabled. What I've been trying: I'm using a semi-updated plplot distribution from git Oct 7, 2014. My first attempt was to use dlltool to create an import library libplplot.dll.a which hooked into libplplot-nodyn.dll, itself created by simply renaming. The link attempt failed so I went to the build directory and basically changed all references libplplot.dll to libplplot-nodyn.dll cat build.make | sed 's/libplplot.dll/libplplot-nodyn.dll/g' | sed 's/libplplot-nodyn.dll.a/libplplot.dll.a/g' (except that I did this in a text editor) This result worked to be successfully linked (and loaded, verified via depends_x86.exe). But it doesn't work. To see that the dysfunction is not in the code, I did the same procedure for the plplot version that was working, going to the original build directory, making a shareable; libplplot-sidyn.dll described by import library libplplot.dll.a - this didn't work, either. ----------------------- background: I'm running on windows 7 (64 bit). 32-bit compiles are done using gcc 4.9.2 built by msys2; its all posix, dwarf2. In order to centralize the support libraries I keep those needed to run programs in c:/mingw/dll32-psxdw2 which is entered (via an NTFS junction) as c:/usr/lib32 below: PATH: C:\cmd:C:\cmd/bin:C:\usr/bin:C:\usr/bin32:C:\usr/bin32/mingw:C:\usr/lib32:C:\Windows/system32:C:\Windows:C:\Windows/System32/Wbem greg@Homerw7 MINGW32 /d/bld/mingw32-psxdw2 $ ls -la plplot11/bin total 1232 drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 06:04 . drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 06:04 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 118558 Jan 28 14:54 libcsirocsa.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 188815 Apr 17 06:02 libplplotcxx.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512591 Apr 17 06:02 libplplot-sidyn.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 195307 Apr 17 06:02 libplplotwxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120392 Jan 28 14:54 libqsastime.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 107360 Apr 17 06:02 pltek.exe /d/bld/mingw32-psxdw2$ ls -la plplot11-SAVE/bin total 1236 drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Jan 28 16:53 . drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 05:33 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 118558 Jan 28 14:54 libcsirocsa.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512079 Jan 28 14:54 libplplot.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 188803 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotcxx.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 195295 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotwxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120392 Jan 28 14:54 libqsastime.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 106848 Jan 28 14:55 pltek.exe and also, higher up the path, c:/usr/bin32, which keeps a hodge-podge of libraries I might be linking against for special reasons. $ ls -la /c/usr/bin32 total 14580 drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 16 21:12 . drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Mar 30 14:57 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 12328473 Mar 30 14:29 gdl.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 203638 Apr 5 22:28 libcsironn.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 186311 Apr 5 22:28 libplplotcxxd.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 572150 Apr 5 22:28 libplplotd.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 1107048 Apr 16 17:42 libplplot-nodyn.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512591 Apr 17 06:02 libplplot-sidyn.dll lrwxrwxrwx 1 greg None 12 Mar 7 19:51 mingw -> /mingw32/bin greg@Homerw7 MINGW32 /d/bld/mingw32-psxdw2 $ ls -la plplot11/bin total 1232 drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 06:04 . drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 06:04 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 118558 Jan 28 14:54 libcsirocsa.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 188815 Apr 17 06:02 libplplotcxx.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512591 Apr 17 06:02 libplplot-sidyn.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 195307 Apr 17 06:02 libplplotwxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120392 Jan 28 14:54 libqsastime.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 107360 Apr 17 06:02 pltek.exe greg@Homerw7 MINGW32 /d/bld/mingw32-psxdw2 $ ls -la plplot11-SAVE/bin total 1236 drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Jan 28 16:53 . drwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 0 Apr 17 05:33 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 118558 Jan 28 14:54 libcsirocsa.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512079 Jan 28 14:54 libplplot.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 188803 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotcxx.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 195295 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotwxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120392 Jan 28 14:54 libqsastime.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 106848 Jan 28 14:55 pltek.exe greg@Homerw7 MINGW32 /d/bld/mingw32-psxdw2 $ ls -la /c/mingw/dll32-psxdw2 | grep Jan\ 28 -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 143271 Jan 28 14:54 cairo.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 118558 Jan 28 14:54 libcsirocsa.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 512079 Jan 28 14:54 libplplot.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 188803 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotcxx.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 195295 Jan 28 14:54 libplplotwxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120392 Jan 28 14:54 libqsastime.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 90308 Jan 28 14:54 mem.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 82507 Jan 28 14:54 null.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 120304 Jan 28 14:54 ps.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 108182 Jan 28 14:54 svg.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 114481 Jan 28 14:54 wingcc.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 499063 Jan 28 14:55 wxwidgets.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 greg None 100481 Jan 28 14:55 xfig.dll ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
