Hi: Could anyone give me some tips on getting PLPLOT to work under Windows (2K) and with CygwinX? Where can I find documentation or tips on installing and using? I have VC++ 5.0 and 6.0 as well as Power Station Fortran 4.0 (not installed at the moment). Thanks in advance! Regards, Dave Strang |

Try the Cygwin-specific notes in the INSTALL file which is available in the top-level directory that is created when you unpack the PLplot-5.3.1 tarball. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Note that Power Station Fortran 4.0 is ancient by computer standards. If you plan to use Fortran, then I suggest you use g77 or g95 that is part of the cygwin installation (or can be used in combination with it). Remark: I am about to try the Cygwin environment and MS VC++, to see if we can use the configure script in this combination. That would solve a lot of issues with Windows. An alternative route is that you look at the sys/win32/msdev directory where the current Windows-specific tools are located. The INSTALL file contains the necessary details. Regards, Arjen |
