Configure PLplot for cygwin

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 in the moment. 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)

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 .
