Re: [Plplot-devel] Finding wxWidgets

[Pedro V. <ped...@sp...>]

all is fine

so, the problem was that I was using git bash for Windows as shell (where 
back-slash forward-slash convention is different from Unix/Windows; as a 
software engineer I end up losing hours of my life fixing
different Unix/Windows path conventions. Thanks Microsoft).

Using just a "normal" Windows shell , this works

-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR:PATH=%WXWIN%\lib\vc_lib

in

cmake ".." -G "Visual Studio 
14" -DPL_DOUBLE:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_TEST:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING="Debug" 
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING="Debug" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DSTATIC_RUNTIME:BOOL=ON 
 -DPLD_wxwidgets:BOOL=ON -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR:PATH=%WXWIN% -DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR:PATH=%WXWIN%\lib\vc_lib 
 -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=mswud -DENABLE_MIX_CXX=ON -DwxWidgets_EXCLUDE_COMMON_LIBRARIES:BOOL=OFF


sorry for all the false alarms

Just 2 last notes :-)


1)

If we specify the root of wxWidgets with

-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR:PATH=%WXWIN%

it seems that having to specify the library path could be eliminated

-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR:PATH=%WXWIN%\lib\vc_lib

I believe this path

\lib\vc_lib

is always the same for any Windows build? If not than my point is not valid

2)

After building with Visual Studio, all built ok

========== Rebuild All: 88 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

but in the last release there was an automatic run of the plot demo, that 
shows a plot window, that did not show up this time

no big deal, but it's a nice feature that shows that all went fine

thanks
