Re: [Plplot-general] Available output devices on Windows

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

Hi Andrew,



These libraries ought to be part of the system - on my system they are part of "MicroSoft SDKs" or "MicroSoft Kits" (residing in the Program Files directories). Maybe these are missing from your system?



Regards,



Arjen

The wingcc driver should build in Visual Studio.  I have been working on a new Windows driver, but have not had the time to move it past the advanced beta stage.  If the wingcc does not build for you, let me know and I can push the alternative windows driver after the freeze is over.

Thanks for the clues Jim. I did try forcing wingcc, via the addition of "-DPLD_wingcc=on" to cmake's args but all I see in the cmake output is:

Looking for gdi32 header and library - not found
WARNING: Setting PLD_wingcc to OFF.

Presumably the build needs some additional encouragement to locate the gdi32 headers and lib files but I don't know what this may entail. Otherwise perhaps your new driver is the way to go. I've also been considering wxWidgets but it seems a little top-heavy for what I actually require.
