You need a working cygwin installation. Start cygwin and issue the following commands:
cd plplot mkdir buildcygwin cd buildcygwin cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install -DENABLE_tk=OFF -DENABLE_tcl=OFF .. make make install
This will build a shared plplot library and install all files into the directory plplot\buildcygwin\install. Tcl/Tk bindings and driver need to be disabled (-DENABLE_tk=OFF -DENABLE_tcl=OFF), since they won't compile on cygwin at the moment. The following options are available for cmake:
- -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON: makefiles provide verbose informations
- -DBUILD_TEST=ON: all examples will be built also (for test purposes)
If you used the -DBUILD_TEST=ON option, you need to copy some files in order to run the examples:
cd examples/c cp ../../../data/*.fnt .
The Cygwin platform allows both shared libraries and dynamic drivers, making it almost equivalent to a regular Linux platform in this respect. However:
- The shared libraries will be installed in the bin directory, not in the lib directory, in accordance with the Windows conventions
- They have the extension .dll instead of .so
- For the Fortran 77 and Fortran 95 bindings the plparseopts routine does not work yet. This is due to the properties of the available compilers.
- 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.
