3) PyTave has libboost-python as dependency.

IIRC, Mike had mentioned trying to remove the boost dependency.  That would help with this.  But it also might be quite an effort, especially if the Octave-within-Python part of PyTave needs to be ported too...

Hmmm. We would need some alternative for boost-python... But then probably that would need to be built too. Well, currently I got it to work (with some renaming and all).

.

Finally, './configure --with-octave=/e/octave_dev' works successfully using the octave that Tatsuro provided.

It just gave a warning that 'uselocale' is not supported! I dont know how to deal with that but since it was not a requirement so i went ahead anyway.

Now, when I issue 'make' , I get the following output:

For some reason, libtool is messing with the address passed with a backslash ('\'). (I've bolden the part in the message which is being changed). It's passed correctly via make, but libtool is probably escaping the characters!?.

Is there a way to change the default path separator for make (or maybe libtool)?

I saw that probably AC_PATH_TOOL is used to build/find the path. But, couldn't find how to change it.

Any suggestions?
