Thanks for those near-complete results for Cygwin which still look fine with regard to any build or run errors or PostScript difference regressions. Beyond that I was pleased you were able to solve the ctest, DISPLAY, and shapelib issues. And I was also pleased that you anticipated me by not disabling octave by brute force which allows our build system to disable octave in a smooth way with appropriate message explaining the situation. >From your results so far it appears I have a chance to solve the TRY_OCTAVE4=ON utf-8 issue, and there is also obviously more work I need to do on Cygwin Ada language support (where my first step will be to review all my e-mail concerning previous tests of the current Ada language support on Cygwin). So while waiting (probably at least for a week) for me to attempt to find solutions for those issues, there is nothing more for you to do concerning Cygwin except possibly to agitate on the Cygwin lists concerning packaging of gcc-java, ocamlidl, etc. However, when you have time to work a bit more on PLplot, I would appreciate you setting the following priorities in decreasing order of priority: 1. The final version of the Fortran-only test for MinGW-w64/MSYS2 with the cmake and perl package install issues straightened out. 2. Generate a complete and up-to-date list of packages for MinGW-w64/MSYS2 for your own use and mine. 3. Your first attempt at a near-complete comprehensive test for MinGW-w64/MSYS2 with all PLplot-relevant packages installed. 4. Respond to my last set of questions and suggestions concerning your attempt to do comprehensive testing for the MSVC/ifort/nmake platform. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
