Re: octave-4.0.1 64 bit binary for windows is uploaded

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have uploaded octave for windows with supporting large arrays.

http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/


1. octave-4.0.1-LA.7z -- 7-Zip archived binary package
2. octave-4.0.1-LA-forge.7z -- 7-Zip archived pre-built octave-forge package 
for 1.


Note that large arrays supports is now experimental so that 
one may meet unexpected bugs.

I describe the contents in readme.txt included in octave-4.0.1-LA.7z

*** readme.txt ****
This is an experimental binary with Large Arrays supports [1, 2].

This binary is produced using mxe-octave with --enable-windows64 and 
--enable-64 options.
You have to use this on 64 bit windows OS.

An easy test whether large array facility works on your PC [1].

>> a = zeros (1024*1024*1024*3, 1, 'int8');

If condition is not fullfiled, you see
error: memory exhausted or requested size too large
       for range of Octave's index type --
       trying to return to prompt

Error noticed that I have awared at present.
 The build_packages.m scripts fails to build image, odepkg, netcdf, and 
sparsersb packages in 
 producing oct files.
 This means that some functionalities may not work correctly. 
 See "octave-4.0.1-LA_bpl.log" to see what happened in building packages 
processes.

No Warranty
 Please use this binary at your own risk.
