I have just noticed the embedded blanks in your directory names.  When I
have tried that on Linux it never works with pkg-config (see my previous
post here on that issue).  There are also other parts of the PLplot build
that do not work with embedded blanks.  So my advice is to use a different
install prefix for PLplot that does not have embedded blanks, e.g.,

C:\Program Files ==> C:\Program_Files

Also, for the fortran 77 PLplot bindings you need a different pkg-config
package.  plplotd ==> plplotd-f77.  That will add flags for Fortran 77
to the flags you normally get for plplotd.

To help others here help you further, what are the contents of
plplotd-f77.pc and plplotd.pc files on Windows?  (The CMake-based
PLplot build system configures those files, but it would be good
to see the actual results of that configuration on Windows.)

Also, what are the actual results of running

pkg-config --libs --cflags plplotd-f77

?
