Hi Walt:

I hope you don't mind that I am replying on the list, but I think that is where
this conversation belongs, and I hope you reply to the list as well.

(1) Set the PATH environment variable appropriately so that the qmake
application from Qt5 is on your PATH.  (Unlike the Qt4 case, the
actual Qt5 find procedure does not use this application any more, as
far as I know, but if the PATH is setup this way, then the Qt5 find
procedure should know where to find what it actually needs.)

(2) Use the cmake option -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=ON for the PLplot build.


(3) Use the svn trunk version of PLplot.

I am not very experienced with Windows platforms, but I thought that
command should be available there.  Have you got
your PATH set properly so cl is on the PATH?

I suspect Arjen can answer this question a lot better.
