Re: Mkoctfile, need dynamic linking even for compiling a .cc file?

[Joe Koski]

For what it's worth, I was able to make oregonator.oct work on my Mac OS X
10.2.8 platform with Fink 2.1.46 and octave-forge. From previous posts, I
think my configuration is similar to Henry's. And, yes, I did it in my
Documents directory where I had all the permissions.
