Re: [Plplot-general] Windows Visual Studio Port ?

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

I am probably the least qualified in the core team to answer your question
since I have no windows experience, but I will take a shot since nobody
else has answered you.

In all honesty our principal current platform focus is Linux/Unix, but I
understand we did have decent windows support in the past, and if someone
wants to improve that, then we are happy to cooperate with them.

With a browser I would look at a cvs web view of what we have in
plplot/sys/win32.  (See
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/plplot/sys/win32/?cvsroot=plplot)
In particular I notice the file plplot/sys/win32/msdev/INSTALL.TXT which may
help to get you started.  Since plplot has substantially changed in the last
4 years I expect some tweaking will be required to get it working again on
windows.  If you do get it working, please give us your changes so we can
put them into the CVS so all windows users will benefit.

Some related projects which might be of interest to you.

One of our users has just brought sys/dos/DJGGP up to snuff, and those
changes should soon be in the CVS head.

A member of the core team got plplot to work well in a cygwin (Unix on top
of Windows, see http://www.cygwin.com/) environment last year.  His stuff is
currently not ready to go into the CVS HEAD, but when that happens it will
mean a significant broadening of our platform support.
