For some reason I cannot build wingcc or wingdi, they do not come up as enabled on my system when I run cmake. I have never looked into why as I don't use them.
But all members of the PLplot development team should be concerned if wingcc (a workhorse interactive device that has been around a long time and which presumably builds on most Windows platforms) does not build on your particular Windows platform. Because other users also have that same platform, and they may need access to wingcc (and wingdi). So please follow up with a complete bug report here (preferably) or on the bug tracker including all relevant information about your Windows platform and the exact build error. And similarly for the wingdi case (although that has not been around as long as wingcc it is based on it so it may have a common build problem on your particular Windows platform). Arjen or Jim (both with a lot of Windows experience) might be able to quickly resolve the issue you are encountering. You might also want to look at https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/support-requests/44/ (which is in the support-request category, but it is really a bug report). That user was having trouble building wingdi on "Cygwin 64 (CYGWIN_NT-10.0) on Winows 10 (64-bit)". But for that same platform he built wingcc with no issues. @Jim: You obviously had a lot of discussion with this user concerning his wingdi build bug including sending him patches to try, but it seemed to trail off at the end with nothing resolved with regard to the wingdi build bug on his platform. What needs to be done to get this issue resolved? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
