Hi Walt,

Thanks for that information. Hm, if I read this correctly, the installation of 
GTK messed up your working installation of PLplot – at least the variant with 
static libraries. That will not be an easy one to reproduce and analyse.

Regards,

Arjen

I had Plplot working (static) and then installed GTK and it quit working.
So I tried to build the dynamic (DLL) version and that now works again.

If anybody is interested, here is the result of pkg-config (after the -L option 
was changed):

$ echo $PLOT_LIB
-LC:\Fortran_Tools\lib -lplplotfortran -lplplot -lplfortrandemolib -ltcl.dll 
-ltk.dll C:/Windows/System32/gdi32.dll C:/Windows/System32/comdlg32.dll 
-lfreetype.dll -lfreetype.dll -lcsirocsa -lqsastime 
-LC:/Fortran_Tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0 -lstdc++.dll -ladvapi32 
-lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex

Thanks again for the help. I hope I don't have to go through all this again 
when you guys do another update!

Surely others besides me have tried to build and run Plplot on Windows ???

>>AM: Yes, certainly, which is why it is important to the project in my opinion

The key to the build (cmake) was to use the -D options you suggested.

>>AM: My ideal is that you can build without any such options, but that is

The problem with compiling was that I was nowhere close to having the right
library options (so the order was kind of irrelevant :-(). Setting the 
environment variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH and executing pkg-config produced all sorts of stuff, including
Windows system libraries, DLLs (in spite of the fact that I built static libs), 
etc.
I also had to add one -l option to find a demo lib for one of the supplied demo 
*.f90 files.

I am not in the same location as the computer on which I did all this, but, if 
you think it would
help, I can send you the result of the pkg-config execution later (tomorrow?).

>>AM: That would certainly be helpful!

I will do anything I can to help others avoid all of this trauma (and drama). 
Just let me know.

Again, thanks for your help. I probably would have given up some time ago 
without your
continued suggestions.
