"make check" is from the historical autotools build system which is
deprecated and therefore in a minimum maintenance mode now. I advise using
the recommended CMake build system for 5.7.2 (or better yet the CVS version
of PLplot which is stable at the moment) which is documented at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ and which generally tends to do a
better job of builds on Cygwin compared to our old autotools build system.
We have at least two core developers who are familiar with the CMake build
system for PLplot on Cygwin.
Our CMake build system generates a good octave binding on non-windows
platforms as evidenced by both build-tree tests (ctest ...) and install-tree
tests (plplot-test.sh --front-end=octave from the install-tree examples
directory). However,
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Overview_of_the_status_on_Windows
does not yet mention octave so you may be the first to test the octave
interface on Cygwin for our CMake build system. However, you can always
post to this list if you run into any trouble.
