Re: [Plplot-devel] Still roughly on track for a February 12th release of 5.10.0

[Arjen M. <Arj...@de...>]

Hi Alan,

after some initial hiccups (involving two independent but not quite detached installations of
MinGW/MSYS) the build is progressing. At least, I think it is. The task manager indicates
make.exe is using a lot of processor time, but no files seem to be produced. Also no indication
of the compiler(s) being run.

I will let it continue for now ...

Regards,

Arjen
