Using PlPlot library in code::blocks

[amalendu]

I am in try to use PlPlot library (for plotting) in C with code::blocks IDE (ver 10.05) on windows-7 plateform. I downloaded "plplot-5.9.9.tar" and unzipped it. In documentation it is not very clear to me (I am not expert in using third party lib.), how this library can be used with code::blocks i.e. where I have to save the lib, what should be added in compiler and debugger settings etc. It also seems from document that "makefile" (linux type!!) is necessary for Windows also?? If any one can help me in this matter or provide a link where theses things are explained (please for Windows only, for Linux there are lot of docs.). I am also unaware of MSYS makefile generator (given on Wiki page) on windows????


Thanks and regards,
Amal.

What Compiler are you going to be using?
NOTE: Code::Blocks is NOT a Compiler.

I suggest reading the CB FAQs; they are not likely to help much; but, it will be useful if you are new to Code::Blocks and/or to programming.
FAQ - CodeBlocks

Link to PlPlot "Chapter 26. Notes for each Operating System that We Support"
Notes for each Operating System that We Support

Looks like most versions of MinGW GCC is supported.

Have you compiled this library? Before you can use it in your projects you will probably first need to compile the library.
