[Gnuplot-info] no system evaluation in windows?

[michael <mic...@ut...>]

dear all,

I want to use compiled functions for fitting (they involve a numerical
integration and obviously can't be coded in gnuplot), so the help says to use
'f(x) = real(system(sprintf("somecommand %f", x)))'. this gives me the error
message "warning: system evaluation not supported by MS-Windows 32 bit". and
this is no problem of my actual compiled function, because just typing
s=system("bla") gives the same error, but it should store the OS' error message
"command not found" in string s, as I see it? so is this a fundamental problem
in the communication between gnuplot and windows and nothing to be done? I have
the latest stable version 4.2.4, also 4.3 says the same. any suggestions will be
appreciated.
