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

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

In order to go ahead, I worked around the problem explained in
my previous mail (commenting out the two *shadow* functions
in plstub.cpp). Then I succeeded indeed in compiling all files
(src/*.c, part of drivers, and sys/win32/msdev/src/*.*).

My next problem reads:

Linking...
plstub.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void *  h_pldll" =
(?h_pldll@@3PAXA)
Release/plplotd.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

what is this symbol good for, and where is it instantiated ?

Thanks, Joachim

PS maybe I should explain: I need to build plplot within MSVS in order =
to get it accepted
by my employer. I will also have to eliminate the many many warnings =
that trivially complain
about implicit type conversions...
