…
If anyone can sen me a cmake command that works for either MSYS2
or Cygwin, I would like to try it. When I successfully built plplot in
the past, I built a static lib and that is fine for my use now.


>>AM: For Cygwin I use the following basic command:

    cmake ../plplot-git -G “Unix Makefiles” …

I run the command is run in a clean directory next to the one holding the sources (plplot-git in my case). I mostly use a bunch of options (the dots) to control what is or is not considered in the build, but that should not be necessary at all (some packages I have installed within Cygwin cause problems in the actual build step, so I have to suppress them for instance).

For MinGW64/MSYS2 I use the same basic command and I run it in a clean directory as well. The one caveat is that I use the shell started via mingw64.exe. Again some packages do not support all the necessary bits and pieces, so I have to exclude them via a small number of options.

A useful option is to explicitly ask for the examples/tests to be built: -DBUILD_TEST=ON

Hope this helps.
