RE: How can I re-compile liboctave.dll for MSVC?

[Lam Pak Kit]

Dear Michael,

Sorry to bother you again on this issue.

We tried to DIY and compile a MSVC version of Octave.  However, we ran into a 
lot of codes that require Fortran.

I am just wondering if those codes are necessary for Octave to operate 
(probably with function functions missing).  If not, I guess we will just 
comment out all of them.  Would that be a viable solution?

Thanks very much again in advance.

Regards,

Patrick

You can't get it anymore. There has been GPL violation claims and
the packages have been removed. As I said, you're on your own.
Alternatively, you can still get MinGW compiled packages at
http://octave.sourceforge.net
