[Plplot-devel] Comprehensive test results for MingW-w64/MSYS2

[Arjen M. <Arj...@de...>]

Hi Alan,



I send you the current results for the comprehensive test on MingW-w64/MSYS2, as I found some peculiar things. So this is the result I got yesterday, without the extra bits and pieces I intended to install.



The peculiarities are:

-        There is no wingcc device, because the gdi32 header file and library are missing. I just checked: they appear under /usr/include/w32api and /usr/lib/w32api.

-        I wanted to know if there are many external dependencies (given the remark that MinGW-w64 is building on Cygwin), as that might cause problems distributing executable programs. "ldd" only reported the basic Windows DLLs but it did not report libplplot.dll. Very strange. Oh, and the native Windows tool I use for this type of inquiries reports both libplplot.dll AND msys-2.0.dll.

So there actually is a dependency on MSYS stuff.



Anyway, that is the quick report I can send at this moment.



Regards,



Arjen
