You need a working cygwin installation. Start cygwin and issue the following commands:

cd plplot
mkdir buildcygwin
cd buildcygwin
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
make
make install

This will build a shared plplot library and install all files into the directory <tt>plplot\buildcygwin\install</tt>. The following options are available for cmake:

* <tt>-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF</tt>: static build of plplot
* <tt>-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON</tt>: makefiles provide verbose informations
* <tt>-DBUILD_TEST=ON</tt>: all examples will be built also (for test purposes)

If you used the <tt>-DBUILD_TEST=ON</tt> option, you need to copy some files in order to run the examples:

cd examples\c
copy ..\..\..\data\*.fnt .

 * If the PATH environment variable gives access to native Windows compilers before the Cygwin-specific compilers, you need to either reset the PATH variable or specify the Cygwin-specific compilers explicitly.
