Hi Laurent:

I looked at
<http://perso.univ-lemans.fr/~berger/Afsd56/plplot/TXT_INFO/installPlplot.sh>.

>From my perspective alone, the major issue with that script
is you are attempting to use cmake in a way that is largely outside my
experience.  For example, I have no experience with the --build option
for cmake, only limited Windows experience (with the Wine version of
Windows) and no experience with the "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
generator.

In order for me to help you further, here is what I would like you to
do.  Please switch to a more low-level PLplot configure and build
process that I have a better chance of understanding.  That is, you
should use the "NMake Makefiles" generator and do your build with
nmake like this without using the cmake --build option.

cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" $optCMAKE \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF \
-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR:PATH=G:/lib/wxWidgets-3.1.0 \
-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR:PATH=G:/lib/wxWidgets-3.1.0/lib/vc_x64_lib \
../../"$RepoSource" 
nmake VERBOSE=1 install

So the only change from what you are currently doing is the choice of
generator for cmake and running nmake rather than several different
cmake --build commands to do the installation.  Note, that nmake
simply builds the named target ("install" in this case which also
builds the "all" target first). The VERBOSE=1 option outputs some
extra details that are sometimes useful. Then all I really need to see
for this PLplot case is the output (combined stderr and stdout) from
this slightly revised script which should include all output
from both the above cmake and nmake commands.

Once I understand what is going on with the PLplot configure (with
cmake) and build and install (with nmake), then we should follow up
with a similar analysis of the configure and build of your own
software.
