Problems_compiling_octave-forge

[Peter Bodin]

Hi I´m having problems compiling octave-forge-2004.07.07. I´m fairly new to
the "./configure|make|make install" way of compiling and installing
programs, so I might need a hand here. I have searched the archives of
help-octave to no avail. 

The following messages appear when i try to ./configure:

address@hidden /cygdrive/c/TEMP/ocf/octave-forge-2004.07.07]$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe

cannot find -lcruft
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile

Can I change the configure-file in some way to overcome this problem?

Best regards
