Re: bootstrap, sha1sum, gsha1sum and such things?

Hello

> Is a working gnulib already needed?

It seem that libtool, sha1sum, git are required to execute ./autogen.sh for 
building from the current
Mercurial development source.
The git access the website and download gnulib

*********
bootstrapping...
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out octave sources...
./bootstrap: getting gnulib files...

In my case (MinGW), I use cygwin to use the above tools.
The symbolic links cannot be used in MinGW so that they were replaced by copy 
files.

My trial is stopped to build liboctave stage because of shared library problem.
