[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #81, patch #8783 (project octave):

For Windows, you can build an Octave distribution once using mxe-octave and
install everything on the Windows system.  Then you can build just Octave with
"KEEP_BUILD := 1" set in the mxe-octave Makefile.  that will leave the
tmp-octave build directory intact.  Then you can set your PATH to include the
..mxe-octave/usr/bin directory (the one where the mxe-built cross tools are
installed) and go to the Octave directory, make changes, and run make as you
normally would.  If you are just making changes that affect a single shared
library, you can just copy that single modified shared library over to the bin
directory on the Windows system.  So it is not that time consuming to make
incremental changes and test them.  Maybe we can make this even easier, but it
has worked reasonably well for me in the past.
