[tomadom]

I'm using MinGW on Windows XP and am trying to build Gnuplot.

It doesn't seem to want to build. Looking impossible at this stage. I adjust the MinGW makefile provided and it builds for a while before this error occurs in the command prompt.

There must be someone out there who has done all this before. Would you mind giving me some clues as to what this could be. The first error on the below list refers to a file in libgd which I have successfully built. Not sure why it is not seeing it. Should I place a VPATH in the makefile to help it?

Here's the code.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

How far have you got?

GDI+ Programming With MinGW

[tomadom]

Nowhere. I think I'm the first in the world to do this.
When I do get it I'm going to celebrate.

[tomadom]

Thanks for that article. That's really going to help for sure.
I'll let you know how it goes.

test

My final code output shows 4 errors not but the above seems to have worked.

Could someone tell me if this has actually built as all the error messages are said to be [ignored]. Does that mean that gnuplot has built.

I've posted this 4 times now and the forum keeps bouncing to another page when I post it so I'm keeping this simple. Just do a search to see all the errors. I'll only provide half the output as there is too much.

                 add the script to the commands to be executed

  -V, --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.

Well the way to tell if it worked would be to check for the intended output file in the target directory. Looks like most of the errors are related to generating the documentation.

Thanks for that. It looks like it has built.
I officially declare this thread solved.

Unfortunately, I can't use Gnuplot as a library in my code.. which is what I wanted to do. It only generates object files but not library files and the process above only builds Gnuplot for external use. Anyway.. if anyone comes across this thread they should be able to work out how to build gnuplot using a MinGW compiler in Windows XP.

Cheers.

There is an old library version called gplotlib which I know next to nothing about.
