Re: [Plplot-general] Building a bare minimum plplot

[Scott H. <smh...@gm...>]

I am new to PLplot and this the first time I have used CMake.  For
simplicity, on my part, I have been using the GUI version (ccmake
CMakeLists.txt) to generate the makefile.  I am attaching the output from
using ccmake.  This was made on my Linux platform.

CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
 pdfutils.c;plargs.c;plbox.c;plcont.c;plcore.c;plctrl.c;plcvt.c:88:
 STRING sub-command REGEX, mode MATCH needs at least 6 arguments total to
command.
 Current CMake stack: /home/hall000s/Linux/plplot-5.7.3/src/CMakeLists.txt
