Re: Any success building 2.9.7 under cygwin

[Eric S. Carlson]

I have not attempted a cygwin build of 2.9.x, and may not for some time,
because of the rapid release and feature change rates.  But you are to be
commended for your efforts, and if you find cygwin-specific issues, I
encourage
you to report them.  This will make the job of a cygwin release much easier
when the time comes.

I am working on trying to get 2.1.73 to compile with gcc 3.4.4-2, an
experimental cygwin compiler release. cygwin gcc 3.4.4-1 is known to have
issues in string support for C++, so I cannot recommend using that.  I'm not
sure where you would get gcc 4.1.1 unless you compiled it yourself from
source.


James,

OOPS - meant 3.4.4.2. 
Okay, so now that I have you attention a bit, as the cygwin expert my next
question is: How do I set up the release versions so that I can
1. run octave from a USB flash drive that can be taken from machine to
machine, and
2. does not interfere with a currently installed version of cygwin

 ( I know "mount" has some bearing here, but I'm not quite sure how)

Thanks
