Hi Greg:

I wonder who that "Alex" guy might be?  :-)

To access the MSYS2 version of cmake, you have to do two steps, see my
recent post with the subject line 'Testing the "vanilla"
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform'. Actually, I think the advice in that post
which is derived from the advice in
<http://www.openwalnut.org/projects/openwalnut/wiki/InstallMSYS2> is
basically consistent with the advice you gave above although it is
stated in different terms.

I think the above most peculiar combination of flags with CYGWIN set
and MINGW not set is all moot now since it was generated with "MSYS
Makefiles" (see comprehensive_sh.out in Arjen's report) rather than
the recommended "Unix MakeFiles" and probably a cmake version that is
not the recommended (MSYS2) version of cmake was used as well. Even
so, Arjen's first round of testing of limited PLplot components on
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 was quite encouraging. So it begs for a follow up with
using the recommended generator and cmake version.  However, my
understanding is that Arjen will not be able to do that follow up for
several more weeks, i.e., long past our release date of Saturday, July
25th.

So, Greg, would you be willing to do that follow up now instead?  That
would be a big help for this release. Note that request is for the
"vanilla" version of that platform which you can obtain by following
the <sf.net/projects/msys2> wiki instructions for using the official
"pacman" installer for MSYS2.
