Re: mkoctfile and windows

[Shai Ayal]

François ,

As I see it you have 2 problems:

1. You cannot use mkoctfile. You do not write exactly how you got 
octave, but this is easy to fix. If you use octave under cygwin, 
mkoctfile should work. You should install using the cygwin setup 
program: http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
from there you should probably select to install all of the programs in 
the "math" section which sound even vaguely like octave. After that you 
should have octave 2.1.73 with mkoctfile working.

2. You need to compile mex files. These are not directly supported in 
2.1.73, you will have to manually "translate" them into oct-file 
convention. The new 2.9.9 version has greater support for mex files, but 
as far as I know, this version is not yet available in cygwin as a 
binary. You could try to compile, but on cygwin this is only for the 
brave of heart and the full of spare time.

Good luck
