Re: [Plplot-general] plwidth fails to link under Cygwin against plplot5.9.10 libraries

[John B. <jrb...@co...>]

Hi Alan,

   I am re-sending this email with a smaller version of the tarfile, 
since the sourceforge server could not accept the 27 MB size of the 
original one.  This tarfile contains only portions of what is in 
build_dir.  Specifically, in build_dir I omitted all the bindings 
except for f95 and the share folder.  Hopefully what I am sending is 
adequate to sleuth out the issue.

Best regards,
John


Hi Alan,

    I followed your recommendation and created a simple Fortran 
example that illustrates the problem on Cygwin.  I created a tarball 
of the entire plplot-5.10.0 directory that contains everything that 
cmake, make, and make install generated in a subdirectory named 
build_dir, including the cmake.out, make.out, and make_install.out 
files.  The shell script cmake.sh I used to invoke cmake is in the 
main 5.10.0 directory.  Also in build_dir there is a directory named 
'test' which contains the Fortran example code named circle.f that 
illustrates the problem.  There is also a .sh script named compile.sh 
that I used to attempt to compile circle.f.  In addition I copied all 
the contents of /bindings/f95 into this directory.  Here is what I 
get when I attempt to compile this simple routine:

$ compile.sh
circle.f:26.72:

       call plline(n101,xx,yy)
                                                                         1
Error: There is no specific subroutine for the generic 'plline' at (1)

   My guess is that the problem is not something esoteric, but rather 
something very simple.  I suspect it may have to do with something 
related to the way I am trying to compile, perhaps something like 
missing some files not in /bindings/F95.

    I appreciate any help your team can provide--
John
