Re^3: installing pgplot on cygwin

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.

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]

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 ......	[reply]
