[Plplot-devel] convenient windows developing

[Werner S. <sm...@ia...>]

Hi,

I just committed a small change to plplot which should make life for 
windows developing easier (thanks for the hint, Alan):

In CMakeLists.txt of the plplot main directory I added

if(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND WIN32 AND NOT CYGWIN)
   SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/dll)
endif(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND WIN32 AND NOT CYGWIN)

If we have shared libraries, Windows but not cygwin, all created 
libraries go into the dll directory. If you

set PATH=path_to_plplot_build_dir\dll;%PATH%

and

set PLPLOT_LIB=path_to_plplot_dir\data

all examples run without further copying of dlls, fonts, maps, etc. Both 
variables could be set in a batch file, which you run at CLI startup. 
Arjen, could you please check if this also works for you? Do you also 
need other stuff (exes?) to be copied or so?

Regards,
Werner
