[Gnuplot-info] Compile GNUPLOT ver. 4.2 using VC++ 2008

[Abdul J. N. <nor...@gl...>]

Hi!
 
I'm trying to compile GNUPLOT ver. 4.2 (makefile.cyg) using Visual
Studio C++ 2008 (OS: Windows XP).
 
I created a new project, select Win32 Console Application (application
type: console, empty project) and named my project 'makefile'. Next, I
added a new item (.cpp file) and named my .cpp file 'makefile.cpp'. I
copied & pasted code, & saved the file. Then, I renamed the file to
'makefile.c' and compile it.
 
This is the error that I received:
 
1>------ Build started: Project: makefile, Configuration: Debug Win32
------
1>Compiling...
1>makefile.c
1>c:\gnuplot-4.2.4\src\makefile\makefile.c(1) : fatal error C1021:
invalid preprocessor command 'Hey'
1>Build log was saved at
"file://c:\gnuplot-4.2.4\src\makefile\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>makefile - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped
==========
 
 
I even changed the Precompiled Headers setting in properties to Create
Precompiled Header (/Yc) and still received the same error.
 
How could I compile GNUPLOT using VC++ 2008? What are the requirements,
what files do I need and what are the exact steps to do that?
 
Thanks in advanced.
