Good news, indeed, that you could get this hand-generated build to work.
However, in the long term I recommend you make a simple CMake project
with your code following what is done (for the CORE_BUILD false case
which greatly simplifies the required CMake code) in examples/CMakeLists.txt
and examples/fortran/CMakeLists.txt.

The way that would work is you independently install PLplot, your
simple CMake project finds that install (following what is done
in examples/CMakeLists.txt using the

find_package(plplot)

command) and the CMake code you need to
build your example should simply reduce after that find to

add_excutable(my1stpl  my1stpl.f90)
target_link_libraries(my1stpl, PLPLOT::plplotfortran)

You are welcome.
