[Plplot-general] Trying to build examples

[Arnaud D. <ada...@ap...>]

Hi all,

i'm just new to PLplot and today i successfully managed to install 
MinGW, CMake and all the related stuff and then i compiled the DLL and A 
files. It was not very easy but it seems that i got all files in the end.

In a next step i tried to compile an example. I moved all .h files, .a 
files, .dll files and the example's .c file into a test directory and 
successfully compiled using "gcc -otest.exe lib...dll.a etc (the list of 
all .a files)".

When i run the file i get the error message that it couldn't find the 
driver's directory.

Note that i have built PLplot without the examples as i need to build my 
own example separately in either Embarcadero C++ builder, devCpp or MinGW.

I don't think i have any build issues, just need to find out what to do 
with the drivers, where to locate them and so on. I have tried to move 
the driver's directory into my projects directory without success. I 
actually don't think that those files are the drivers. Should the 
drivers be built separately? if yes, what is the cmake command to build 
the drivers? Where will "make install" locate the drivers after i make 
them with gcc. Why are they not compiler together with PLplot?

I have found a discussion about the same issue on the mailing list but 
the discussion ends without providing an answer.

Thanks for your help.

Arnaud.
