The purpose of this Chapter is to present notes for each operating system that we support. Currently, those are all operating systems supported by CMake (all forms of Unix including Linux and Mac OS X, and all forms of Windows including MinGW, MinGW/MSYS, Cygwin, and essentially all Windows variants directly supported by Microsoft).
Here is the short story:
# Note many other cmake options are available besides -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX # Inspect CMakeCache.txt after a preliminary cmake run to see an annotated # list of the available options. Then remove CMakeCache.txt and try again. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-prefix> \ <path-to-source-tree> >& cmake.out make >& make.out #(optional, requires -DBUILD_TEST=ON option for cmake) ctest >& ctest.out make install >& make_install.out cd <install-prefix>/share/plplot<version>/examples/ make >& make_examples.out ./plplot-test.sh >& plplot-test.sh.out
The longer (CMake) story is currently documented here. The eventual plan is to incorporate that material in this documentation, but we haven't done it yet so this section NEEDS DOCUMENTATION.
