[Plplot-general] PLplot installation problem with VC++ 2005 Express

[winson <roa...@ya...>]

I am using VC++ 2005 Express. I have installed PSDK
for Windows Server 2003 R2 and wxWidget 2.8.2. I
downloaded cmake 2.4.6 and PLplot5.7.2. I followed the
steps described on PLplot wiki to install PLplot. I
got the following error message.

------------------------------------------
Determining if this is a free VC compiler failed with
the following output:
CMakeTestForFreeVC.cxx
D:\Program Files\CMake
2.4\share\cmake-2.4\Modules\CMakeTestForFreeVC.cxx(1)
: fatal error C1034: iostream: no include path set

Determining if the C compiler works failed with the
following output:
	"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\bin\nmake.exe" -f
CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir/build.make /nologo -L 
                CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir\build

Stop.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"D:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\nmake.exe"' :

Stop.
----------------------------------------

It seems that the include path of stdio.h is missing.
However, when I launched VC++ and wrote a testing C++
program with stdio.h included, I got no problem at
compilation at all. This indicates that VC++ setting
is fine. I also tested putting the 'include' path in
system environment setting, but that does not help
either. Any idea on what could be the cause of the
problem?

I am thinking that maybe I can put source files into
VC++, and compile the library directly with VC++
instead of cmake. However, I had little experience
with library building. Could anyone give me a rough
procedure on how to do it? I appreciate any help.
