[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54743] [octave forge] (io) Windows installation problems

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #54743 (project octave):

Sure, but:

(1) io-2.4.11 is included in the 4.4.1 zip file and should work after some
manual post-install stuff that otherwise would done by the installer.

(2) We have no answer yet from the OP whether she/he did run the post-install
stuff, whether she/he started Octave using octave/vbs, and if io did work
then.

(3) ... so I just d/led 4.4.1-w64, unzipped it, ran octave-firsttime.vbs,
inside the terminal ran "pkg rebuild", quit & restarted octave (using
octave.vbs) and -presto- io works fine. After uninstalling and reinstalling io
it works fine as well.
In conclusion: the least I can say is "Works for me".

FYI, the configure script was added by Olaf [*], IIRC to be able to get io
installed on both older and newer Octave versions because a few symbol names
changed in core Octave.
Autotools stuff is -regrettably- beyond me, but then again, it works properly
AFAICS.
