[CMake] building plplot for compaq visual fortran

[Vincenzo Urso Miano]

Hello,
I have been told that cmake compiles plplot with gcc.

Here's whta i get:

C:\plplot-5.9.5>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\plplotBUILD
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -- broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCComp
iler.cmake:50 (MESSAGE):
  The C compiler "C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test
  program.

  It fails with the following output:

   Change Dir: C:/plplot-5.9.5/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

  Run Build Command:nmake /NOLOGO "cmTryCompileExec\fast"

        nmake -f CMakeFiles\cmTryCompileExec.dir\build.make /nologo -L

  Stop.

  Stop.
  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:38 (project)

It still does not compile the test and I get 'No such file or
directory' for the options passed to gcc like /DWIN32 etc...

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Vince
