Re: testing binary of octave-3.3.90 (mingw32) is uploaded

[Stewart Dickson]

I have MSys installed in my system
MINGW32_NT-6.1 HDF-CHIBANDA 1.0.16(0.48/3/2) 2010-09-29 00:07 i686 Msys
The problem seems to be in making c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/gzip.exe,
c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/tar.exe and
c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/msys-1.0.dll available to Octave.

In: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System->Advanced system
setting->Environment Variables...
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=c:\Octave\3.3.90\bin%c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin
PATH=...%c:\Octave\3.3.90\bin%c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin

What else is necessary to get pkg install octcdf-1.1.1.tar.gz working in
the binary of octave-3.3.90?

Thanks,

-Stewart
