I was happy to hear that Benjamin solved this first issue for you.<br>
<br>
Just to follow up on what he said, I confirm the good PLplot results<br>
for the MSYS2 platform that I referred to in my previous post also<br>
used the "mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake" native package rather than the<br>
non-native (linked to msys2.dll) "cmake" package.<br>
<br>
You (and others reading this thread) should consult the patches at<br>
<<a href="https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-cmake" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-cmake</a>><br>
to see the various ways that the "mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake" package<br>
differs from vanilla cmake for Windows from Kitware.  I agree with<br>
another poster's comments that if indeed some or all of those fixes<br>
are really necessary for the MSYS2 platform that ideally they should<br>
be adopted by the upstream CMake developers.  So I hope those<br>
developers are (i) reading this thread and (ii) willing to follow up<br>
by looking at those patches.<br>
