Hi Marius
Unfortunaly, I don't know the first thing about autoconf, autotools or whatever they are called. So I just created a Makefile by hand that helped me during development. So to install you have to copy the .oct and .m files to a directory of your choice. Or you can just leave them where ever they are and that that directory to your path.

I know this isn't optimal (it's a first release), so I'll look into providing a standard ./configure, make, make install installation.

Why not migrate the whole package to octave-forge, probably under the extras directory due to the narrow scope of the package... Then you can use the existing configuration/make structure of octave-forge to deal with it. You'll need a configure.add and Makeconf.add file to indentify if fann is installed, and if you have any m-files then you might need to deal with the issues of why to do with the installation of these in the case that fann is not present. There are several ways of dealing with that, either replace the dot-m files with *.m.in filenames and conditionally copy them to *.m if fann is installed (there are examples of this main/general/Makefile), or you can alter the m-files so that they check the installation and exit with an error if fann is not installed...

Cheers
David
