Hi Irwin,
thanks for the feedback.
PLplot seems a interesting piece of software,
and I noticed it needs/looks qhull and octave,
of whom I am the cygwin package maintainer.
Excluding the tcl/tk requirement, whose package need deep
maintenance on cygwin, PLplot build fine with WIN32=0.
With just some quirk behaviour building the modules (*.rc),
but it could be a interference of my antivirus
There is a general test mode ? Or I should run one by one
test-drv-info"
test_cairo_dyndriver"
test_dyndrivers"
test_mem_dyndriver"
test_null_dyndriver"
test_ps_dyndriver"
test_svg_dyndriver"
test_xfig_dyndriver"
test_xwin_dyndriver"
Regards
Marco
