[Plplot-devel] unable to install plplot under W2000

[Joachim W. <wu...@cr...>]

Hi Olof,

   I am trying to install plplot under W2000 (with Cygwin).
In a first step, I did ./configure, make, make install in
the plplot main directory (btw: which configure options are
recommended if I only want to use the W2000 port ?).

In a second step I went into the sys/win32/msdev directory,
and I followed your instructions until step 5, which fails
with the following message:
