[Plplot-devel] Recently committed $(EXEEXT) changes

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

In bindings/f95/Makefile.am I recently changed

plflt.inc: plflt
 	./plflt

to

plflt.inc: plflt$(EXEEXT)
 	./plflt$(EXEEXT)

and this helped on Cygwin (and presumably will help on MinGW as well).
Furthermore, if you look at the generated Makefile, this change makes the
use of the $(EXEEXT) suffix consistent throughout the Makefile.

That lead me to consider other noinst_PROGRAMS possibilities:

software@starling> find -name Makefile.am |xargs grep noinst_PROGRAMS
./bindings/f95/Makefile.am:noinst_PROGRAMS = plflt
./bindings/octave/Makefile.am:noinst_PROGRAMS = massage
./drivers/Makefile.am:noinst_PROGRAMS = get-drv-info
./include/Makefile.am:noinst_PROGRAMS = plhershey-unicode-gen

I have now committed the equivalent $(EXEEXT) changes for massage,
get-drv-info, and plhershey-unicode-gen with the last two being the most
critical (since I don't believe anybody has even tried octave on Cygwin).

Arjen, could you check whether this change makes a difference on Cygwin for
the --enable-dyndrivers case?
