Re: Yet another thread on Octave on Windows.

[Ole Jacob Hagen]

Hi,

I found the source-function, and used it. But this is not practical 
usage, since Octave should handle it's own m-files and oct-files all by 
it self. Which file/class handles this behaviour? I guess it's the 
kpathsea-files for path, but which class/files handles the loading of 
m-files and oct-files?
I'll  take one more look at the kpathsea-files?
BTW, which classes/files are using kpathsea functionality?


I don't get the octave-prompt, when I start Octave from MinGW (MSYS) 
prompt, but I get it, when I start Octave from cmd (dos).
MSYS package works pretty much in the same way as Cygwin. Actually it 
looks like a mini-Cygwin, since it is mounting partition in the same way 
as Cygwin does. Just take a look:
