I tried to build gnuplot-4.0.0 with VS.NET,but I couldn't.
I got libpng-1.2.8,zlib-1.2.2 and PDFlib-Lite-6.0.1.
and I build them as Win32_LIB_Release.
copy.
I edit makefile.nt to change library path and include path.
and I go to command prompt.
copy ../config/makefile.nt makefile
nmake
But,I have error LNK 2019
(unresolved external symbol referenced in function
) in plot.obj,term.obj,set.obj,winmain.obj,unset.obj
,command.obj,wgraph.obj.

You've erased the single most important piece of information from that LNK2019 message: the actual symbol names being reported as "unreferenced". Without those, it's close to impossible to help you, for anyone who doesn't happen to have VS.NET on his machine. Which seems to include all the gnuplot team.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
PDF_open_fp is because the version of PDFlib you used is too new (newer than gnuplot-4.0.0, and PDFlib removed functions since then).
The others are weird --- according to the knowledge encoded in the gnuplot build files (config/makefile.nt, config/config.nt), MSVC used to have, e.g., a getcwd() in its C standard library. Maybe VS.NET is too new and flashy to consider "nasty old C" a worthwile thing to still support...?
I have two suggestions: either use an older version of MVSC, or try to dig up information about C library functions stricmp, getcwd, fileno, ...

PDF_open_fp is because the version of PDFlib you used is too new (newer than gnuplot-4.0.0, and PDFlib removed functions since then).
The others are weird --- according to the knowledge encoded in the gnuplot build files (config/makefile.nt, config/config.nt), MSVC used to have, e.g., a getcwd() in its C standard library. Maybe VS.NET is too new and flashy to consider "nasty old C" a worthwile thing to still support...?
I have two suggestions: either use an older version of MVSC, or try to dig up information about C library functions stricmp, getcwd, fileno, ...
Thank you for kind help!!
I understand the problems.
I gave up gnuplot-4.0.0.
At last, I successfully built gnuplot cvs version with VS.NET.
