Re: Error about gnulib not found when cloning octave

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Building octave from the development source requires gnulib so that you have 
met the error.
You need to install msysgit to get gnulib components.

BTW, do you really want to build octave from development source?
What purpose do you want do it ?

Regards

Tatsuro
