octave + octave-forge for cygwin

[adler]

For those of you who are interested in octave on windows.

I have a set of instruction on how to build
octave-2.1.35 + octave-forge for cygwin (ie. Windows)

( I know this isn't an automated build - I'll probably
turn it into a Makefile and patches eventually. )

I have made a cygwin package and make it available at:

http://prdownloads.sf.net/octave/octave-2.1.35-gnuplot-3.7.1-octaveforge.tar.bz2

or go to http://octave.sf.net and click on "Files"
at the top of the page.

Note: this is not (directly) an octave for windows
install. You will need a recent copy (with readline-4.2a
or later) of the cygwin install from www.cygwin.com.
However, this package will install with the
cygwin installer.

Tested only so far on win2k - contact me with any problems.

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW:





BUILDING octave-2.1.35 for cygwin

This is a description of how I got
octave-2.1.35 and gnuplot-3.7.1
and octave-forge (19 feb 02) to
build under win2000.

I have made a cygwin tar.bz2 package
to download of this.

COPYRIGHT:

    All components: GNU GPL

    Except GNUPLOT,
    and some octave-forge components

PREREQUISITES:

    Download from www.cygwin.com
    recent version of cygwin (at least jan 2002 )
    gcc
    g77
    readline-4.2a
    libreadline5

BUILDING

    Download octave-2.1.35.tar.bz2 from www.octave.org
    tar xvfj octave-2.1.35.tar.bz2
    cd  octave-2.1.35
    ./configure --prefix=/usr

OBTAIN GNUPLOT COMPONENTS

    Download from www.gnuplot.info

    get gp371cyg.zip.
    Unzip the file wgnuplot.exe and put it in /usr/bin

    Get pipe-gnuplot.exe from
    http://www.hhs.se/personal/Psoderlind/Software/Software.htm
    and put in in /usr/bin

MODIFY octaverc FILE

for the following
$ cat /usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
    ## System-wide startup file for Octave.
    ##
    ## This file should contain any commands that should be executed each
    ## time Octave starts for every user at this site.

    # find where cygwin is mounted
    mount_path= system('mount | grep "on / type"');
    cut_point = findstr( mount_path, " on / type");
    mount_path= mount_path( 1:cut_point(1)-1 );
    mount_path( findstr(mount_path,"\\") ) = "/";

    putenv('TMPDIR', [ mount_path , "/tmp" ] );

    clear mount_path;
    clear cut_point;

    gnuplot_binary ="pipe-gnuplot wgnuplot.exe";
    gnuplot_has_multiplot = 1;

BUILD OCTAVE FORGE
