Re: how to instal, or upgrade, the latest octave version on windows 7

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

DEFUN_DLD is used for building the .oct file.
Please read carefully the octave manual.

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/
Appendix A Dynamically Linked Functions
A.1 Oct-Files 

In building oct file, you should not add --link-stand-alone option. The option 
is prepared  for standalone program but not oct file.

Regards

Tatsuro
