I found this thread about compiling gnuplot and d2d1 (https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/support-requests/227/).  Apparently, in gnuplot 5.2 they introduced a Direct2D API (with corresponding system code in d2d1.dll).  Windows XP does not have this DLL so it is really just about an unsupported old OS.  Closing report.

Thats correct name for it since we use mingw-w64 for the runtime/compiler libs.

i686-w64-mingw32 = 32bit
x86_64-w64-mingw32 = 64 bit

One thing that I noticed was that when starting Octave it says:


Octave was configured for "i686-w64-mingw32"


Should the second item be -w32-?

I built my own copy of Octave for Windows using MXE and the additional option --disable-windows-64 since this is for a 32-bit Windows XP VM.

A valid installer file was created and Octave installs and seems to run just fine.  However, gnuplot does not work.  It is listed as an available_graphics_toolkit.  But when I try to switch to it, Octave complains that the version is too old.

If I go into the directory C:\Octave\Octave-4.3.90\bin and run gnuplot.exe directly then the OS complains that the dll d2d1.dll was not found.
