Re^2: installing pgplot on cygwin

Sure thing... It is rather complicated..

I downloaded the PGPLOT module from CPAN
In the readme file it says you must download the
graphics libaries first

So I go to http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/
and down loaded GRWin driver for PGPLOT for Cygwin which also includes the libaries files

After installing the file I then ran the make file for the PGPLOT perl module
and got the following error message

libpgplot.a(gwdriv.c): undefined reference to "GWgetrgb"

("GWgetrgb" is a subroutine in GRWin)

A brief look at the pages mentioned in the module lead me to think you need three things: The GrWin driver (ftp://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/ pub/GrWinlib/english/contrib/ pgplot/pggw0999b-cygwin.tgz), the pgplot library (ftp://ftp.astro.caltech.edu/pub/pgplot/pgplot5.2.tar.gz), and the Perl module (http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/ id/K/KG/KGB/PGPLOT-2.18.tar.gz), installed in that order. Is that what you did? Update: no, looks like the pgplot5.2.tar.gz is not supposed to be necessary. I'm seeing the same error you are (plus a bunch more), but don't know what's the cause.	[reply]

Thanks ysth for having a look.. It is really nice to know that I am not doing something silly ( though if I was it would be much easy to fix ;-) ). It seems to me that be the libpgplot.a libary file may be calling GrWin routines (GWgetrgb and varrious others) and are looking for them in the gwdriv.o or gwdriv.c files. When I search for these files they have not been down loaded as part of the GrWin driver.	[reply]

Did you put the pggw stuff in /usr/local/pgplot? The libpgplot.a in that references GWgetrgb, which is actually provided in libGrWin.a and libGrWin0.a. I don't remember the latter two libraries being linked; you might try adding a -lGrWin switch.	[reply]
