Hi Alan,
(priority 1) I tried to install CMake for MinGW-w64/MSYS2, but that failed:
- According to the package manager there is a version 3.3.1, but on
installing it naively (via pacman -S cmake), I got CMake 3.2.3.
- Explicitly installing the package that seems to represent version
3.3.1 failed as well - no executable (I had to remove the previous one).
- Anyway version 3.3.1 is too old - PLplot wants at least 3.3.2.
(As a curiosity: the MinGW/MSYS specific version of CMake 3.2.3 does not know
about MSYS Makefiles, whereas the Windows version does.)
I have to fall back on the Windows version of CMake I am afraid.
Regards,
Arjen
