Here are a set of instructions that seem to work for me to build a set of dlls. I created a new user on my machine and a fresh directory structure and from this clean setup I got good build results.
1. Download wxWidgets-3.0.4 to C:\test\src\ and use 7zip to extract to a folder called wxWidgets-3.0.4 C:\test\src\wxWidgets-3.0.4 now contains files called configure, .gitattributes, etc 2. Open C:\test\src\wxWidgets-3.0.4\build\msw\wx_vc12.sln, I get asked about retargetting projects. I leave everything ticked and hit OK 3. Select DLL Debug and x64 configurations. Hit f7 to build. 4. Change DLL Debug to DLL Release and keep x64. Hit f7 to build again. 5. Add C:\test\bin;C:\test\src\wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_x64_dll; to the path variable. 6. Create a variable WXWIN with a value of C:\test\src\wxWidgets-3.0.4\ 7. Download plplot-5.15.0 to C:\test\src\ and use 7zip to extract to a folder called plplot-5.15.0. The folder C:\test\src\plplot-5.15.0 now contains the ABOUT and INSTALL files etc. 8. Start a developer command prompt for VS 2017 and execute these commands (if you started this already, close it and reopen to see the new environment variables) cd C:\test\src\plplot-5.15.0 mkdir build cd build set CXXFLAGS=/DUNICODE /D_UNICODE set CFLAGS=/DUNICODE /D_UNICODE cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_DINSTALL_PREFIX="C:\test" -DCMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX=d NOTE THE DEBUG POSTFIX IS TO ENABLE RELEASE AND DEBUG LIBS TO INHABIT THE SAME DIRECTORY AS IT ADD d TO THE FILENAMES 9. Open the file C:\test\src\plplot-5.15.0\build\plplot.sln 10. Ensure Dubug and x64 configuration are selected. Right click the INSTALL project and select build. 11. Change to Release, sticking with x64 configuration. Right click the INSTALL project and select build. I have never built the examples in the share/plplot/examples directory. But Let me know how you get on with this setup.
