Some progress. Now the Qt project is generated
>> by dropping the PUBLIC keyword from the target_link_libraries command
I did
at line 318 of src/CMakeLists.txt I removed both the PUBLIC and PRIVATE
words and added some messages like this
if(NON_TRANSITIVE)
target_link_libraries(
plplot
${libplplot_LINK_LIBRARIES}
)
MESSAGE( STATUS "if NON_TRANSITIVE: " ${NON_TRANSITIVE} )
else(NON_TRANSITIVE)
target_link_libraries(
plplot
${libplplot_LINK_LIBRARIES}
)
MESSAGE( STATUS "else NON_TRANSITIVE: " ${NON_TRANSITIVE} )
endif(NON_TRANSITIVE)
the ouput falls on the second case (else(NON_TRANSITIVE))
-- else NON_TRANSITIVE: OFF
there are still 2 issues
1) Building the Visual Studio project, I get
========== Build: 16 succeeded, 72 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped
==========
basically all the examples failed with link errors of the kind
------ Build started: Project: x13c, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Building Custom Rule M:/plplot-plplot/examples/c/CMakeLists.txt
CMake does not need to re-run because
M:\plplot-plplot\build\examples\c\CMakeFiles\generate.stamp is up-to-date.
x13c.c
Creating library M:/plplot-plplot/build/examples/c/Debug/x13c.lib and
object M:/plplot-plplot/build/examples/c/Debug/x13c.exp
Qt5Guid.lib(qfontengine.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_hb_ot_tags_from_script referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall
QFontEngine::supportsScript(enum QChar::Script)const "
But this might be because of the way I build Qt , so I'll try to debug this
But regardelss of this, the examples should not be attempting to link with
the Qt libraries,
for example, the list of libraries for the x13c project is
kernel32.lib;user32.lib;gdi32.lib;winspool.lib;shell32.lib;ole32.lib;oleaut32.lib;uuid.lib;comdlg32.lib;advapi32.lib;..\..\src\Debug\plplot.lib;I:\qt-win32-msvc2015\lib\Qt5Svgd.lib;I:\qt-win32-msvc2015\lib\Qt5PrintSupportd.lib;I:\qt-win32-msvc2015\lib\Qt5Widgetsd.lib;I:\qt-win32-msvc2015\lib\Qt5Guid.lib;I:\qt-win32-msvc2015\lib\Qt5Cored.lib;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86\Gdi32.Lib;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows
Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86\ComDlg32.Lib;..\..\lib\csa\Debug\csirocsa.lib;..\..\lib\qsastime\Debug\qsastime.lib
2) the other issue is that the WxWidgets driver is not detected
Some time ago, I fixed that issue on the PLPlot version that was last
released (not the git one) and posted here on this list the fix
but now with the git version, is failing again, I'll go back and see what
were the changes I made (adding the wxWidgets string corresponding to the
latest "3.1.0" version
in some places)
