[Plplot-devel] attempting to compile plplot in MSVS (Visual C++ 6.0)

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

Hi Olof,=20

after importing plplot into Visual Studio, I succeed in compiling all =
files but one:
in plstub.cpp there is a problem in line 606:

void  WINAPI
plshade(PLFLT **a, PLINT nx, PLINT ny, const char **defined,
	  PLFLT left, PLFLT right, PLFLT bottom, PLFLT top,
	  PLFLT shade_min, PLFLT shade_max,
	  PLINT sh_cmap, PLFLT sh_color, PLINT sh_width,
	  PLINT min_color, PLINT min_width,
	  PLINT max_color, PLINT max_width,
	  void (API *fill) (PLINT, PLFLT *, PLFLT *), PLINT rectangular,   // =
this is line 606

The error message reads as follows:
