Ok I've placed a version of MinGW octave + octave-forge + all
dependencies on my personal website at
Thank you very much for creating this.
Things that I know are issues and where help would be appreciated are
1) Don't use the X in the upper right of the DOS command.exe as this crashes
octave.
2) Need to figure out why octave is complaining about a missing libgmp-3.dll
for the symbolic toolbox. Help would be appreciated on this one.
3) ATLAS as I can't build it under VMWARE. I'm investigating using a prebuilt
P4SSE2 release from teh Python people, and so hope to resolve this one
rapidly.
4) Need to identify which files can and should be removed. The gnuwin32 stuff
should be easy to handle for this. The stuff built from source less so.
5) fix the failing octave-forge build issues other than symbolic which are
- extra/graceplot/__grcmd__.cc due to missing sys/wait.h.
- extra/pdb/creadpdb.cc due missing mmap in mingw
- main/miscellaneous/listen.cc due to non posix network stuff
6) There are several posix specific functions of octave such as fork that I
don't think will ever be available in a mingw version of octave
7) mv %OCTAVE_ROOT%/MinGW to %OCTAVE_ROOT%/msys/mingw, remove the /etc/fstab
file and fix up the octave.bat file to reflect this. This will make packaging
easier.
8) Get real releases of UFsparse and octave rather than the pre-release or
CVS versions used here.
9) Deal with the NSIS packaging
One more minor bug:
When the pager is used and you press q to quit without showing to the end
of the display, the line saying
-- less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit
is left on the screen and the prompt is placed immediately to the right of
that.
