There is the Cygwin platform, the MinGW platform, and the raw Windows platform. The first two are actually unix based so you can build PLplot with the normal Unix methods which most of our developers are familiar with. The raw platform is built following the specific rules in sys/win32/msdev/INSTALL.TXT. I think it is fair to say that the raw platform is more mature than the Cygwin or MinGW platforms, but you need to buy a compiler to use the raw platform and development of that platform is slow because only one of our developers (Arjen) is familiar with that platform. The Cygwin and MinGW platforms are quickly maturing. For example, we have just got shared libraries to work on them for the CVS version of PLplot. The previous PDL-oriented message was about the prospects for a PDL PLplot interface on the raw windows platform, but I don't think anybody got it to work there. Also, I think you are the first to try PDL with Cygwin, but since that is a Unix system I would encourage you to continue with your efforts since there is a lot of Unix expertise on this list. Also, our one developer (Rafael) who is familiar with Perl/PDL is more comfortable with Unix than windows. > > Currently, Ii've succeed in installing plplot 5.5.3 but i can't pass the > "perl Makefile.PL;make;make test;make install" steps : (. > Actually I even don't know if I'm doint it in the good way... Advice to every Unix user (including Bruno). "./configure --help" is your friend. The results of that command often help to guide you through the large number of different ./configure options (although often the default value of any option is the best choice). Also, if that command doesn't help you, please give the specifics of your problem to the list. Here is how: save complete results in output files as in "./configure --various_options >& configure.out", "make >& make.out", "make install >& make_install.out", and send those *.out results to the list. Good luck, Bruno, with sorting out how to build and use the Perl/PDL interface to PLplot on Cygwin. I am sure it can be done, but you are the pioneer for that specific Unix platform.

And though I have not had time of late to solve a few of the remaining issues (real life and my regular job get in te way as with most of us), I may be able to help. Regards, Arjen |
