Hi Philipp,

> In short, the only change I did was to upgrade to PLplot 5.9.1 - and now it works!

The wxWidgets code in PLplot 5.9.1 was tested on lot more compiler/OS
combinations so there were good chances that your problems were already
fixed - as it was the case.

Good to know that PLplot with wxWidgets also works on MSYS since this
toolkit I didn't test so far!

The reason is, that we implemented dynamic drivers now also on Windows -
that means that every driver is compiled into it's own dll. From this
dll during the build a config file will be built, therefore we already
need to find the dll during compilation. Mind though, that I never
tested this case (dynamic drivers) outside of the build tree. If you
give your code to the user problems might occur. As long as the dynamic
driver dlls are in the same directory as the executable or in the PATH
it should work. You can turn off the dynamic drivers with
-DENABLE_DYNDRIVERS=OFF during the cmake configuration step. The drivers
are then linked into the plplot dll.

Great, that it worked for you.

Regards,
Werner
