Using C files with OCtave

[SITI HAJAR A BAKAR]

Hello all,
I have a file written in C which i wish to call in a '.m file' from 
Octave. I am using Octave in Windows XP and Octave 2.1.69
I have absolutely no idea where to start. The manuals dont really give  
me a guide.
ive tried to open directly the gcc and g++ applications I've downloaded 
but they wont open. The Octave manual says I can only link C++ files to 
octave, and must use 'wrapper' functions to wrap files written in C 
before they are compiles in the C++ compiler.
Is this still true? I would appreciate any hints or tips. Thank you so 
much!

Regards
Hajar
