Re: glob library, octave compilation on mingw

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Your proposal itself sounds good.
However, making documents is time consuming job.
Maintainers do their work on in limited time so that it is difficult to ask a 
lot. 

BTW in my web,
http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/index.html  

OctaveBuild.zip,  octave build tool kit under the MinGW
ReadmeBriefOctBuildMingw.html, Brief explanation for the octave build tool kit 
under the MinGW, plese
read this before use.

were written for octave-3.0.x.

The above is old. But it may give you a hint.

Building steps perhaps are   

Download and extract source (3.2.3 source at present)

Attach patch to the octave source in the svn tree provided by Benjamin.

Then ./configure with appropriate flag

make, make check, make install-strip

Attaching patch and appropriate flag at ./configure are very important.
You may get information to read the shell script by Benjamin.

That's all I can tell you at present.

Please help yourself.

Regards

Tatsuro
