Configure PLplot for Borland CXX 5.5 (free command line tools)

From PLplotWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

You need a working Borland C++ 5.5 free command line tool installation. Start the command line interface and issue the following commands: 

cd plplot
mkdir buildbcc
cd buildbcc
cmake -G "Borland Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
make
make install

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

  • -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF: static build of plplot
  • -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON: makefiles provide verbose informations
  • -DBUILD_TEST=ON: all examples will be built also (for test purposes)
  • Configuration of wxWidgets driver

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

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

and additionally some dlls for a shared plplot built: 

copy ..\..\src\libplplotd.dll .
copy "..\..\bindings\c++\libplplotcxxd.dll" . (for c++ examples)
copy ..\..\lib\csa\libcsirocsa.dll . (if library as built)

and for the wxWidgets driver (if wxWidgets library is shared): 

copy %WXWIN%\lib\gcc_dll\wxmsw26d_bcc_custom.dll .

if this dll is not in the path.
