Talking about gnuplot, do you also use the patch I wrote to add a console mode? If not, does your gnuplot works correctly with octave (for instance when dealing with images). > It does not contain pre-compiled octave-forge packages. > To be frank - I had not planned to include them (yet). > The idea was that shipping octave with gcc&msys would not require to > include compiled forge-packages in the installer - this would save me > some work :) Sometimes, the problem with octave-forge packages is not to compile the package itself, but the dependencies. For instance the symbolic or video packages. In such case, providing pre-compiled packages makes user's life easier.
