Re: [Plplot-devel] wingcc and wingdi build bugs

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

The my cmake command and its output are attached. I noted particularly the lines

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

I do set the cmake lib directory in my command to point it to the
location of shapelib, I don't know if that affects anything. I am on
Windows 10 64 bit.
