The Google Summer of Code is nearly finished, and I wasn't able to test my
code on the Windows platform. (This is the last step of my project). I'm
still working on building mxe-octave on my Win 7-64bit platform and I go
every time one step further, but time is going. So I would like to ask the
Windows/MXE users to test my new functionality.
Here's my online repository:
http://inversethought.com/hg/octave-lojdl
Dependencies are:
- latex (mikitex)
- dvips
- GhostScript
To test my code use:
*graphics_toolkit('fltk');**sombrero;*
*title('Example','interpreter','latex');**
*
This is the simplest test possible. If this works everything else should
work on Windows too.
P.S: I want to thanks to John D. for his help with building MXE-Octave. I'm
still working on this, and if I manage to solve all problems it will be
reported.

After compiling from your repo, in native windows:
On doing the configure, it appears to have found gswin32, texti2dvi,
The only complain configure had displayed at the end of its run was on not finding libpng, however according to config.log it has set the png lib flags.
On the mingw command path it sees gswin32c.exe, latex.exe, dvi2ps.exe
Running octave:
graphics_toolkit('fltk');
sombrero;
title('Example','interpreter','latex');
I get a number of errors displays on running the title line:
The system cannot find the path specified.
error: There's no LaTeX document preparation system installed on this system. Please install it and then try again.
