Hi Arjen: This e-mail has a section concerning your Fortran-only Cygwin results and a section concerning your Fortran-only MinGW-w64/MSYS2 results. I. Cygwin These Fortran-only results look good for Cygwin (no errors and no PostScript difference regressions). I also looked for applications that were found, but which did not belong to the Cygwin distribution (i.e., did not have a prefix of /usr or /lib) this way: grep '\.exe' shared/noninteractive/build_tree/CMakeCache.txt |grep -v /usr |grep -v /lib The answer was there were no such applications which is the ideal result. For example, you are using the Cygwin version of cmake.exe which is the correct thing to do. (I just now did the same test for the complete Cygwin results you recently sent me, and the results were ideal for that case as well.) I have updated the Fortran-only results table on our wiki accordingly for Cygwin, (see https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Fortran%20Testing%20Reports). II. MinGW-w64/MSYS2 These Fortran-only results look good for MinGW-w64/MSYS2 (no errors and no PostScript difference regressions). However, there are two issues that should be addressed. 1. ctest is dropped when it should not be. It appears there is some left over historical artifact from your comprehensive testing launch script that drops ctest testing by specifying "--ctest no". Could you please not add that unnecessary constraint on this Fortran-only test (and also on all MinGW-w64/MSYS2 tests from now on). 2. Non-distribution executables. I also looked for applications that were found, but which did not belong to the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 distribution (i.e., did not have a prefix of C:/msys64) this way: grep '\.exe' shared/noninteractive/build_tree/CMakeCache.txt |grep -v 'C:/msys64' The answer was PERL_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=C:/cygwin64/bin/perl.exe CMAKE_COMMAND:INTERNAL=D:/cmake3.4.3/bin/cmake.exe CMAKE_CPACK_COMMAND:INTERNAL=D:/cmake3.4.3/bin/cpack.exe CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND:INTERNAL=D:/cmake3.4.3/bin/ctest.exe CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND:INTERNAL=D:/cmake3.4.3/bin/cmake-gui.exe This Cygwin perl version is probably OK since it should still likely produce correct results when our build system runs perl scripts. However, these versions of cmake and friends are problematic because some distributions (e.g., Cygwin is known to do this) may massage those packages to deal with special issues for the distribution. So there will always be a question mark concerning your MinGW-w64/MSYS2 results until you use that distribution's version of cmake and friends (and likely a very small question mark concerning the Cygwin version of perl as well). To address these uncertainties, I suggest you install the mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake and mingw-w64-x86_64-perl packages. (There are also "msys" variants of these in the MSYS2 distribution, but I believe those should be avoided.) A one-year-out-of date list of the mingw-w64-x86_64 and msys packages provided by MSYS2 is given at <https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Packages/>. You should be able to generate he equivalent up-to-date list by following the pacman instructions at the top of that web page. I cannot do that for myself because I don't have access to MSYS2 and its pacman installer. But please follow those directions for your own use, and could you send me a compressed version of that up-to-date list for my use as well? For now, a different web resource (<https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/>) tells me that when you install mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake and mingw-w64-x86_64-perl you will likely be installing cmake-3.3.2 and perl-5.22. The former satisfies PLplot's current requirement of a minimum version of CMake-3.3.2 for all platforms other than Linux, and that perl version should be fine as well. I look forward to your next MinGW-w64/MSYS2 Fortran-only test with issues 1 and 2 resolved. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
