[Plplot-devel] CMake-3.10.0-rc2 yields good comprehensive test results for PLplot

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

I just completed a comprehensive test of PLplot on Linux (Debian
Jessie) using a cmake version that I built myself from the
CMake-3.10.0-rc2 source code using the bootstrap method.  The result
was a complete success for the three different PLplot build systems
(CMake-based build systems for the core build and installed examples,
and a CMake-configured traditional [Makefile + pkg-config] build
system for the installed examples) and the 3 major PLplot build
configurations (shared libraries/dynamic devices, shared
libaries/nondynamic devices, and static libraries/nondynamic devices).
So from the PLplot perspective, CMake-3.10.x is looking quite
promising. For further details of this comprehensive test, see the
"Tested by" stanza of the git log for PLplot commit 6906798
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/69067983c65013058cfbe4cf047f0817f1933d37/>).
