I wonder if anyone has managed to build wgnuplot.exe of gnuplot 4.6.5 for 64-bit Windows, and if so, what the "trick" is? I tried back-porting my patch for gnuplot CVS to 4.6.5 and it built without error (I should say, this is cross-building on Linux using mingw, which has worked fine for CVS gnuplot), but the binary behaves strangely. In batch mode -- give it a script and ask it to produce a plot file -- it works fine. But in interactive mode this is what I'm seeing (on 64-bit Windows 8): * If invoked as wgnuplot.exe without any arguments it opens fleetingly and then immediately exits. * If invoked with the argument "-" (which, BTW, I don't see documented anywhere, maybe my bad?), as in wgnuplot.exe - it stays open but behaves oddly: the overall GUI looks OK, the menus work, but there's no prompt and while you can type stuff, nothing appears in the "console" or text area. It took me a while to figure out that typed commands do actually work: if, for example you type, blindly, "plot sin(x)<Enter>" you get a perfectly good plot of sin(x). Anyway, any notions of how to put this to rights? Thanks. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University |

I have built 64bit binay using cvs source on native windows 7 64bit and upload on my web. http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin/ The flaw you mentioned does not appear for wgnuplot for cvs version (5.0rc-1). For 4.6, the patch is needed for 64 bit build for windows. Is the patch shown the below enough for 64bit build of 4.6.5? http://gnuplot.10905.n7.nabble.com/gnuplot-on-64-bit-Windows-again-td17580.html I will try to build if I will find time. Please wait a while. Tatsuro |

Yes: there are some backward-incompatible changes in current CVS/gnuplot 5.0 and I wanted to build the latest-and-greatest on the 4.6 branch. > I have built 64bit binay using cvs source on native windows 7 64bit and > upload on my web.

It's what I applied to the 4.6.5 source. It enabled me to build the program without any errors from the compiler, but as I said it doesn't run properly. Allin Cottrell |

I applied the patch and successfully built gnuplot 4.6.5 using MinGW-w64 (4.8.3) (+ msys) on windows 7 64bit I executed the wgnuplot from command line. It seemed work without problem. See http://www.geocities.jp/tmgpltwin/Files/Files.html#0062 20140627wgp465.png wnguplot started up without '-'. And messages were represented normally. In addition, echo backs to key stokes worked without problem. For me 64 bit gnuplot works fine. My binary is able to get from http;//www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/gp46/gp465_64.zip Tatsuro |

Thanks, then there must be something wrong with my build process, or in my application of the 64-bit patch. Allin Cottrell |
