Re: [Plplot-devel] Protecting plP_state calls by level checks

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hmm
Thanks Alan. Maybe the 64/32 bit issue is stopping that exe build, causing later problems.

My plplot cmake script probably still has the plmeta driver set to build which might explain why Arjen isn't seeing the compile errors.

I'll keep trying.

Hi Phil:

That executable is always built for the Linux case, and I
can also answer this question for Cygwin from Arjen's recent report there:

irwin@raven> find . -name "*.out" |grep -vE '(a.out|listing)' | \
xargs grep -l "Built target plhershey-unicode-gen"
./shared/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out
./shared/output_tree/make.out
./shared/output_tree/make_install.out
./nondynamic/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out
./nondynamic/output_tree/make.out
./nondynamic/output_tree/make_install.out
./static/output_tree/make_noninteractive.out
./static/output_tree/make.out
./static/output_tree/make_install.out

So that executable should be built in your MSVC case as well.

By the way, with the Cygwin build currently looking so good, I suspect
the cause of your current many build errors on MSVC might be stale
cached values or a bad build environment in general.  To eliminate the
first possibility are you getting those build errors starting from an
absolutely empty build directory and a fresh clone of the master
branch?  You, of course, also have to put the dll subdirectory of the
build tree on your PATH to get the build to work.
