Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

That worked.  Are there any good tutorials for using this with wxWidgets and VC++?I think I need to set up the wxWidgets driver.You may hear from me again...David

Hi David,
 
  
 
That is easier – did you install the stuff via “nmake install” or are you working from the build directory?
 
  
 
That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment variable:
 
  
 
set PATH=d:\plplot-build-dir\dll;%PATH%
 
cd examples\cxx
 
x01.exe
 
  
 
Fill in the right directory for “plplot-build-dir” above.

Arjen, 
 
Thanks, that worked to get past this hurdle.  nmake and nmake install worked.
 
Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer.
 
However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder.
 
How does that work?
 
David

Hi David,
 
 
 
I was a bit hasty, I think – the cairo device driver actually consists of a whole slew of them and you would have to set all of them to off to avoid the cairo device (things like PLD_wincairo and PLD_epscairo). If I read the CMake files correctly, then you should be able to turn off that family of devices by -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON. (I hope I am right this time)

Arjen,
 
Thanks.  I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning.
 
 
 
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
 
 
 
PLD_cairo
 
 
 
I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo.  No luck.
 
 
 
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
 
On another note, not sure is you saw my other email status.  Installing from the IDE seemed to work for the Release build but not the Debug, several projects failed to build.  I cannot decipher why one would build and the other not.  Additionally the *.exe for the examples did not get created as in previous installs.  It seems that each try produces a different state.
 
 
 
Thank you in advance.
 
David

Hi David,
 
 
 
Wrt your message (it got caught in my spam filter for reasons best known to itself):
 
 
 
“Arjen,
 
 
 
I just installed CMake 3.9.4 and tried the build from a DOS command prompt (not using VS INSTALL).  Same issues, partial output is attached.
 
It crashes at ciaro [26%].  Do I need ciaro to use plplot?
 
 
 
David”
 
 
 
Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to take care of that is to use the option –DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.
