Re: Windows, mkoctfile and DLLs

[Andy Richardson PDA]

Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. I have had some success installing
and running Octave 2.1.39. I used:

./configure --enable-shared --disable-static

to make Octave.

I do get a problem, however, when using mkoctfile on oregonator.cc it comes
up with the following:

"
....
....
oregonator.cc: In function `octave_value_list Foregonator(const
   octave_value_list&, int)':
oregonator.cc:17: choosing `double pow(double, double)' over `Complex
pow(const
   Complex&, int)'
oregonator.cc:17:   because worst conversion for the former is better than
   worst conversion for the latter
....."


If I remove the pow(xxx) part of the program it compiles fine.

The other thing I have noticed, is that I do get an error when running
min([1 2 3])
and then rand(100,2) as suggested by Paul in his response to my initial
enquiry.

Does anyone have any suggestions on causes and solutions

Regards

Andy
