If you want use unofficial octave-3.8.1, another way to install octave-forge
packages exist.
I assume that default install directory (folder) structures are used.
>> cd C:\octave\Octave-3.8.1\src
>> build_packages
The packages installed by the build_packaes.m script are the following,
actuarial *| 1.1.0
communications | 1.2.0
control *| 2.6.5
data-smoothing | 1.3.0
general | 1.3.4
geometry | 1.7.0
image | 2.2.1
io | 2.2.2
linear-algebra | 2.2.0
miscellaneous | 1.2.1
odepkg *| 0.8.4
optim | 1.3.1
quaternion *| 2.2.1
signal | 1.3.0
sockets | 1.0.8
specfun | 1.1.0
statistics | 1.2.3
struct | 1.0.10
windows | 1.2.1
zenity | 0.5.7
(The marks '*' after package names mean that the packages are activated and can
be used. )
The statistics-1.2.3 will be installed.
If you want it auto-load, execute
>> pkg rebuild -auto io
>> pkg rebuild -auto statistics
The exit octave and restart octave.
And then to confirm they are active by:
>> pkg list
BTW, on windows 8 (8, 8.1, 8.1 update), it is necessary to start octave from
batch file to execute it in GUI mode.
The batch file can be downloaded from
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows#Octave_3.8_MXE_Builds
Click file name octave-gui.bat (blue colored), then you can download the batch
file.
