    I have followed the instructions at www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ to configure PlPlot using Borland.  Cmake seems to complete ok.  Make immediately fails with odd compiler errors.

    C:\plplot\buildbcc> cmake -G "Borland Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..

    For me it seems that the  unzipper had problems unzipping the package. I used to work on the PLplot package with the Borland 5.5 compiler, but this compiler is really old (though fast) and it's not possible to support all compilers for the PLplot package due to lack of maintainers.

    Regards,
    Werner
