Hi, Arjen,

Could you help me with PLplot library installation on Windows via CMake + MinGW64 compilers + VS2022? I tried many times but failed to install it.
Could you tell me how to fix these errors?
I look forward to your help and your response would be highly appreciated. C

Please see the following error occurred on my computer:

I will look into this, but I am not sure the combination MinGW+VS 2022 is a viable one. Normally you would either build within the MinGW environment or within the Visual Studio environment. The combination that you want is awkward. But let me look at your description in more detail first. By the way, it may be better to use the PLplot mailing list, as then others who are invovled with PLplot are more likely to see it as well.
