WIN32 != cygwin If you want cygwin-provided functions, build a cygwin version (i.e. without -mno-cygwin). Otherwise, if the functions are not available from MS libraries (which is what you are using when you build with -mno-cygwin) you need to either (a) write replacements yourself, or (b) complain to Bill G.
Further discussion of a non-cygwin build of GNUPLOT belongs elsewhere. perhaps the mingw list? William D. Kirby wrote: > I'm working with the beta cvs version of GNUPLOT.

You assume much: that the authors of Microsoft's runtime library, msvcrt.dll, have ANY interest in cross-platform compatibility with standard libc. > I attempted to use the math lib -lm, but got a > run time error that it could not find cygwin1.dll. Right -- libm is a cygwin library, so it'll need cygwin1.dll. But, by using -mno-cygwin, you're not USING cygwin1.dll for system services, you are using msvcrt.dll. > Is there a work around, and could the WIN32 build be missing lgamma for > some reason?
