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

[Bryan P. <pet...@ma...>]

I don't personally use Windows much (most of my work is on Linux and
Compaq Unix) but one member of our group has compiled the snapshot 990122
to run under windows using Visual Studio and even included the fortran
support with Compaq Visual Fortran.  It hasn't been tested extensively but
everything that he has tried has worked.  If anyone is interested either
he or I can pass on his experience and hints on how to make it work.
