Re: Concurrently providing mex files for multiple platforms

[Qianqian Fang]

thanks Carlo - I just registered on discourse and will post the question 
there. I understood that source based packages are cross-platform, I 
have created/maintained several octave packages for Debian/Fedora 
(https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=fangqq@gmail.com), and it 
works fin. However, my question is regarding mex based packages - 
especially packages that are not distributed via OS-specific software 
repos. supporting mexext in octave is a solution but I don't know if 
this is any prior discussion on this.
