qt terminal for windows binary

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

Prof. Kakuto prepared gnuplot binary for windows with qt terminal using msvc complier
http://ctan.ijs.si/mirror/w32tex/w32/
gnuplot-50plrc1w32.zip

An example snapshot are

I execute all.dem, the speed is faster than that of wxt terminal.
(On Ununtu, I found qt terminal is faster than wxt terminal.)

BTW, in the gnuplot/config/msvc/Makefile, I found the description:

# Build qt terminal? WARNING: the qt terminal should build, but does not work correctly.
# Only enable it if you want to work on fixing qt terminal on windows.
# (Basic problem: qt_waitforinput() uses select() to wait on stdin and a named
# pipe simultaneously. On Windows, this fails, because select() on Windows can
# only be used on network sockets)

I asked Prof. Kakuto what is done in response to the above description.
He replied that no work around is done to the problem described the above.

Does anyone fixed the problem for qt terminal for windows?

As a note, Prof. Kakuto uses qt-5.3.0 for qt terminal building.

I am now trying to revise gnuplot/config/mingw/Makefile and support the qt terminal on mingw platform.
