Re: error when compiling Octave in Cygwin

[Ivan Sutoris]

While compiling on another PC (errors are still there), I noticed that
autogen.sh gives several warnings,(attached below). I don't know if
they are related to this problem, but I thought I post them just to be
sure. Anyway, thanks to all for assistance, but I guess it will be
simpler if I try to compile Octave using virtual machine with Linux
for the time being.
