Hello,
I am a long time user of Octave and this new MSVC support caught my
interest. I saw that you changed the Autotools to support MSVC and
NMake basically, is that right?
Not exactly. I provided wrappers for MSVC build tools (cl and link) such
that they
behave like gcc and ld. Based on a shell like MSYS, you are then able to
re-use the
complete build system of Octave, while you're actually compiling with MSVC.
May I suggest that you consider using CMake or Scons instead? Within
the LyX project we use all three building systems with success. I
might add that the MSVC builds are much faster than the mingw builds.
I'm not a CMake user, so I can't compare. However, octave build system
relies on
various shell scripts. Switching to CMake would somehow require to port
those scripts
to CMake. Is this easily feasible?
Michael.
