Hello

I have built the octave-3.6.0 and archived the installed directory trees.
http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/

Please see Readme_octave-3.6.0.txt for details.

Note that this release is prepared for the testing purpose for experienced 
users.

(shouldn't follow-up be directed to address@hidden, rather than address@hidden)

In a spare hour I've made a preliminary "win32 distribution" using the steps 
outlined in the attached text, based on your build environment. In hindsight I already 
spotted some room for improvement in this procedure, but anyway this works too.
Maybe we can add this text to the wiki later on.

Having done those steps, I'm able to install at least the java&  io packages 
(using -forge option). They work OK AFAICS.

Installing the linear-algebra package doesn't work yet, due to a problem with gsvd.oct 
("dggsvd_" and "zggsvd_ not found").
I had the same issues with 3.4.2; but Nitzan seemed to do better there.

Anyway, I think your testing binary works good.

(And this week I'll try to prepare a new io pkg (bug fix release)

Philip,

I've been wanting some practice with the wiki, and started working on it a few 
days ago.

I hope you don't mind that I jumped in and created wiki page and populated it 
with your notes.

No problems, very good!

I noted that you've put it under "Installing ..." (though I perceive my text rather as part of "building" instructions); while in the "Building" section instructions are given ("Octave for Windows") that to me look more like "installing".

I lack time for sorting this out but hopefully someone will fix this inconsistency....

Thanks,

Philip
