[CMake] building plplot

[Arjen Markus]

Hi Vincenzo,

it looks like CMake regards your gcc compiler as being similar
to the MS Visual C/C++ compiler, as the options it gets are
typical for that compiler.

Could you check that gcc is the first compiler in the path?
...

Oh! Can you try running CMake with the option -G "MinGW Makefiles",
as CMake is now trying to run the compiler via nmake - I have
a hunch that that makes it think it needs to use MSVC options.

Regards,

Arjen
