Re: Making octave standalone package in Windows.

[Ole Jacob Hagen]

Hi, Andy.

Who built octave-2.1.50a-inst.exe at octave.sourceforge.net?
It has cygwin libraries included, and this could ease the install 
procedure of both octave, cygwin, and gnuplot.

nsis installer has been used to make the executable.

Cheers,


Ole J.
