Re: ANNOUNCE-New Octave for Win32

[Michael Rakijas]

Sorry this was previously misaddressed...

Tom,
I figured this might be of general applicability.  I tried the install on
NT 4.0 (logged in as Administrator) and it wouldn't complete.  Is this
really Octave for Win9x or Win32 generally?  Installation was somewhat
opaque so the forensics will not be perfect but octave.bat was empty after
running install suggesting that setup.bat did not run properly.  I tried
running setup with "C:ŠÜProgram FilesŠÜOctave", the install location as the
command line parameter.  In addition to sed and tar erroring out because
they were not installed, a number of references were made to
/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.31/m/startup/octaverc that were problematic
('No such file or directory' and they weren't created either).

I applaud the effort and would like to see it continue because I have a
couple of folks that I would like to get to use Octave (not to mention the
updating of my binaries to 2.1.31 from the 2.0.13 on the Octave web site).
Unfortunately, they won't until it's easy enough.  Any chance this could
get fixed?

-Rocky

Subject:  ANNOUNCE-New Octave for Win32


There is a new version of octave for win32 now available at :
http://tech-research.buffalostate.edu/Šþtom/index.html.
This binary includes the latest and greatest octave-2.1.31, and
gnuplot-3.7.1.  This new release also includes a GUI installer,
which allowes you to choose a location for installation.  This
installation can also be uninstalled via the Windows 'add/remove
program's control panel .  Also, files with the .m extension are
made to open with notepad with a double click to aid in usability.
