Alan, I tried it again with release building. Here is what I did and what's going on.
1) I unpacked the plplot5.7.3 package into folder D:\plplot-5.7.3 2) I launched the command-line window, ran the batch file which set up the VC command env. And then typed in: cd plplot-5.7.3 mkdir vcxx cd vcxx cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install .. cmake proceeded to make the project files for VC++ 2005, and no error message. 3) I launched VC++ 2005, and opened the project file created by cmake in folder D:\plplot-5.7.3\vcxx. 4) Build the library with release configuration, and I got the same fail: Generating plhershey-unicode.h 'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I searched the file 'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe'. It is located at "D:\plplot-5.7.3\VCXX\include\release" on my computer. I used it to generate 'plhershey-unicode-gen.h' on command-line, and again it worked. It seems that the compiler could not find the file 'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe' with the settings in CMakeList.txt. 5) Other than this fail, the compilation of other library files seems okay although with some warnings. One question I have now is that how I should change the configuration so that the compiler can find 'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe' on my computer and do the header file generation? Perhaps add a couple of lines in CMakeLists.txt, but which one and what shall I add? Thanks. Winson --- "Alan W.
