Thanks for the providing this! While trying to build Octave natively on Windows, I get this message (when I do configure --enable-native-gcc --enable-native-build):

    configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-native-gcc

My guess would be that there are problems with the PATH. After I did 

    echo $PATH > .profile

I navigated to this location C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\ani where I found that file. Before making changes to it, the file contents were:

export $PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/iCLS Client/:/c/Program Files/Intel/iCLS Client/:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Live/Shared:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/2.0/bin/x86:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/2.0/bin/x64:/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT:/c/Program Files/TortoiseHg/

Sorry, the export $PATH= was not present in the original file. So initially the .profile file was something like this:

.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/iCLS Client/:/c/Program Files/Intel/iCLS Client/:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Live/Shared:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/2.0/bin/x86:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/OpenCL SDK/2.0/bin/x64:/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT:/c/Program Files/TortoiseHg/

I changed the above contents and these are the contents now:

export $PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/"Program Files"/TortoiseHg/:/c/"Program Files"/gs/gs9.07

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/ani/mxe-octave/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig

Even after the above changes my MinGW shell is showing errors when I restart it. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Good luck,

Philip
