Re: How to use octave-forge?

[Henry F. Mollet]

Go to item 13.8 in Octave Manual on Dynmaically Linked Function
with example oregonator.cc. Presumably, 2 steps are needed in your case:
1) At shell prompt type "mkoctfile lp.cc"?
Running this script will produce lp.oct.
2) For testing start Octave and type lp (required input for lp)?
