Hi

I want to build PLplot on Windows using Visual C++ 2005, for use with wxWidgets.

I am following the instructions on PLplot wiki page 'Configure PLplot for 
Visual CXX' but get the following error:

C:\plplot-5.9.5\buildnmake>cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
CMake Error: Could not create named generator
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: gcc -- broken
The C compiler "gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:
 gmake: *** No rule to make target 
`/cygdrive/c/plplot-5.9.5/buildnmake/CMakeTmp/testCCompiler.c', needed by 
`testCCompi
ler.o'.  Stop.

I have confirmed that nmake is installed. I ran these commands from the Visual 
C++ command prompt.

 I assumed that the Visual C++ compiler would be used and so was surprised to 
see gcc in the error message. Do I need to install MinGW?

Best regards
David
