Re: octave GUI proof of concept

[David Bateman]

Sebastien,

All of the patches necessary to build a mingw release of octave are in 
the CVS, its the dependencies that cause all of the problems. However, 
as long as you have glob, which I can send you off-line, you can easily 
build a minimum version of octave. That is without atlas, fftw, etc, 
etc.. That should be largely sufficient to test your ideas out under 
mingw...

In any case you've motivated me to update my build of octave with mingw 
including all of its dependencies, and it seems with the autoload stuff 
I might even be able to get the octave-forge symbolic toolbox built. 
I've also found a couple of mingw/cygwin related bugs in the build due 
to missing libraries in the link of liboctave.dll. You won't come across 
this if you build from the CVS without dependencies though.

I should have a dirty build finished by tomorrow, so if you are really 
pressed I could give you that... I'd really like to see an ide on a 
mingw build as that is definitely what windows users want, so I wish you 
luck...

Regards
David
