compiling .m files

[Hein Zelle]

Hello,

I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if this has been asked many
times before. I looked in the mailing list archives and couldn't find
the answer there, so here goes:

Is there a way to compile .m files into .oct files to gain speed? I am
not sure what Octave does "under water", perhaps it does compile a .m
function and I just don't know it. I thought I read somewhere that
Octave can generate C++ from .m files, but I cannot find it again so
it may well be my imagination. If all else fails I will write my own
C++ routines and compile those using mkoctfile, but it would be very
convenient to just convert my existing .m files. Is there any way to
achieve this?

 Unix is user friendly. It's just very particular about who 
 it's friends are.
