Re: [Plplot-general] Problem building 5.11 on Windows 8.1

[Walt B. <wal...@gm...>]

Sorry, I saw all the examples in the shared directory and thought
maybe they were not necessary. Try this:

http://www.fortran.com/Test1/c_d_t.tgz

And I thought maybe the reason for the problem with the DLL
might be 32 vs 64 bits ??? But I will just leave it to you experts.

The compilers in the MinGW (TDM) I used are 64 bits.

Please let me know if you can't get the tgz file. Thanks.
