[Plplot-general] Trouble installing plplot

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have been trying to work past some issues with plplot + wxwxidgets + 
visual studio on Windows 8 for longer than it's worth.  I seem to have 
everything built w/o issue but examples crash on closing and I cannot 
figure out why.

I am trying to do a complete install now on a windows 10 machine and I'm 
using Code Blocks and MinGW compiler.

wxWidgets installed without issue and now I'm trying to build the plplot 
with the wxwidgets driver.

I've followed the instructions on 
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_MinGW_CLI/

The install "seemed" to work but it claims that there is no wxwidgets 
driver present, it missed it.  The dir to the correct lib is in the 
system path.  I may have misinterpreted the instructions but I cannot 
figure out the detail.  Please help.

My plplot and widgets folders are in C:\temp\src\<folder> and the 
commands issued were.

starting in the plplot dir:

mkdir buildmingw

set WXWIN=C:\temp\src\wxWidgets-3.1.2\

cd buildmingw

cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\temp\src\plplot-5.15.0\buildmingw" 
-DBUILD_TEST=ON

No fatal errors occurred, it just didn't pick up the widgets.

Thanks in advance for your help.

David
