Please do not cross-post to three of our lists simultanously. That's just annoying for those who are subscribed to all three. plplot-general alone is fine for this question.
Anybody else that responds, please remove all but plplot-general from the replies.

The PLplot build system issues WARNINGs when it has adjusted for some missing system resource by removing a component/ability of PLplot. In this case, the removed ability is the possibility of checking for syntax errors in our DocBook documentation source files. That missing ability would affect PLplot documenters, but presumably has no impact on you. > CMake Error at bindings/CMakeLists.txt:67 (message): > program to concatenate files not found This is a more serious issue. > > > In bindings/CMakeList.txt, the final lines are just like: > > > > > if(index) > if(UNIX) > add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL > COMMAND cat ${index} > pkgIndex.tcl > DEPENDS ${index} > ) > else(UNIX) > find_program(CAT NAMES cat) > if(NOT CAT) > find_program(COPY NAMES cmd) > if(NOT COPY) > find_program(COPY NAMES command) > endif(NOT COPY) > if(COPY) > set(CAT ${COPY} CACHE INTERNAL "program to concatenate files" FORCE) > set(COPY "copy" CACHE INTERNAL "program to concatenate files" FORCE) > else(COPY) > message(FATAL_ERROR "program to concatenate files not found") > endif(COPY) > message(STATUS "Copy: ${COPY} - ${CAT}") > endif(NOT CAT) > if(NOT COPY) > set(indexn) > foreach(file ${index}) > file(TO_NATIVE_PATH ${file} filen) > set(indexn ${indexn} ${filen}) > endforeach(file ${index}) > add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL > COMMAND ${CAT} ${indexn} > pkgIndex.tcl > DEPENDS ${index} > ) > else(NOT COPY) > set(indexn) > set(prefix) > foreach(file ${index}) > file(TO_NATIVE_PATH ${file} filen) > set(indexn ${indexn} ${prefix}${filen}) > set(prefix +) > endforeach(file ${index}) > add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL > COMMAND ${COPY} ${indexn} pkgIndex.tcl > DEPENDS ${index} > ) > endif(NOT COPY) > endif(UNIX) > install( > FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/pkgIndex.tcl > DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR} > ) > endif(index) > > > >> From these 4 lines, > " > if(UNIX) > add_custom_target(pkgIndex.tcl ALL > COMMAND cat ${index} > pkgIndex.tcl > DEPENDS ${index} > ) > else(UNIX) > " > > it seems, there is no condition for Windows, but both for UNIX ... Not really. In CMake (just like in C) if the IF condition is not true, then the ELSE block of code is executed. So what the error message means above is that CMake could not find any of "cat", "cmd", or "command" on your Windows system. You will need advice from our Windows developers how to install one of those. But for now, you should work around the error by disabling Tcl (e.g., by using the -DENABLE_tcl=OFF cmake option).
