I installed the pggw0999b-cygwin.exe into my
c:/cygwin/user/local
I copied the *.a files to the /usr/local/lib
(my cygwin didn't have a /usr/lib directory)
and the *.h files to the /usr/include

I added the following to the Cygwin.bat file...

SET PATH=C:\CYGWIN\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\USR\LOCAL\PGPLOT;C:\CYGWIN\GRWIN;%PATH%
SET PGPLOT_DIR=C:\CYGWIN\USR\LOCAL\PGPLOT

I am sorry but you will have to baby step me here
how do you add the -lGrWin switch


thanks Penny

Look this may be beyond me unless it is a relative simple fix.
Thanks again for looking at it. It is good to know that I did follow the instructions properly
and maybe there is a bigger problem


Finally got it working...

Thanks to help from Tsuguhiro TAMARIBUCHI the author of GrWin
Basically I got Cpan Pgplot module working with GrWin in Cygwin
by making the following changes to the perl Pgplot module Makefile
line 37
LDDLFLAGS = -s -L/usr/local/lib
change to
LDDLFLAGS = -s -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--subsystem,console -mwindows
I was advised to to use the linker options. -Wl,--subsystem,console -lcpgplot -lpgplot -lGrWin -mwindows
or
-Wl,--subsystem,windows -lcpgplot -lpgplot -lGrWin -mwindows
depending on your application being a console application or a windows application.
in lines 277-279
I included the -lGrWin Libary
EXTRALIBS = -L/usr/local/pgplot -L/usr/local/pgplot -L/usr/local/lib -lcpgplot -lpgplot -lGrWin ......
LDLOADLIBS = -L/usr/local/pgplot -L/usr/local/pgplot -L/usr/local/lib -lcpgplot -lpgplot -lGrWin ......
