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

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

Hi,

Cmake is looking for/finding the free VC compiler, but VC++ 2005 Express 
is not this free compiler (which was the VC++2003 command line tools, 
which are not available any more). So my guess is, that you have 
installed this free command line tools in the past and maybe they are 
still installed or during deinstallation not all traces in the registry 
were removed. If you have installed them, please deinstall them or make 
them invisible by

* looking for and removing traces in the registry
* check if the PATH environment variable is still pointing to the VC++ 
2003 tools

Apart from that, you may have sdk nor setup up correctly. I normally 
have no global variables set, I use a batch file which I run when i call 
cmd.exe, which looks like this:

set CMAKEDIR=%ROOTDIR%\cmake-2.4.6-win32-x86
set PATH=C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin;%CMAKEDIR%\bin;;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib;%LIB%

rem run setup for Visual C++ 2005 compiler
"%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"

HTH,
Werner
