Re: Octave on windows.

[Shai Ayal]

Muthu,

What I did was install cygwin using the cygwin setup application available 
from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

In the package selection screen, Under development tools, take care you 
choose to install gcc g++ g77 version 3.3.* and not 3.4.* -- these are 
buggy in cygwin.

After installing, download the ocatve & octave-forge compressed archives 
into you cygwin home dir (usually c:\cygwin\home\username), fire up the 
cygwin terminal and you can now compile them as usual taking care to use 
the --enable-shared flag to octave's configure script.

Wait a few hours .... and voilla!
