Re: [Plplot-general] Obtaining source code related to plplot.h

[Kouros B. <k_...@ve...>]

Arjen: Thanks a lot. I do not know with what program to use to run "make install". Can you explain it? Also, on what directory do I run "make install". There in my case, an original un-zipped directory tree, c:plplot/ from which the second c:/build-plplot directory is created. This directory was correctly created and contains in, c:\build-plplot\examples\c\Debug\, the x01c.exe through x34c.exe files which will execute. Then, there is a third directory, my example directory for separate compilation, c:\plplot-Inverarity3d\, which has the code and its separate build file which cmake creates, c:\build-Inver\ etc. which contains the debug directory. I do not know where is the "make install" command or on exactly what tree it should be operated on. Also, is it possible to ask through a combination of Cmake and the makefile, to have the executable use the working directory of the executable file, or the current directory etc. so that the *.dll files could be
 put in one directory with the executable files; without reinstalling. I would like to have another file call the PLPLOT executable code in a file folder somewhere else; this would help with installation elsewhere.

>The problem you encounter is that PLplot has to find the driver information and for this it uses a specific directory if the program that uses PLplot is not within the build tree (the case where your program does work). The best way to solve this is by running "make install". Then the various files are put in the right directory and you can run your programs from anywhere.
