You are most welcome.

I have 3 fails, loading anonymous function handles, a floating point bitshifting test, and ctanh fails. I see no dispatch failures doing a "make check" But, as hinted, let's discuss this on the octave-maintainer's list. > You also asked to the Michael the windows based install system. > > The matter to be disccussed here, how to treat octave-forge packages. > > I proposed you that it is necesary to prepare the dependecy libraries and > extra tool like pkg-config. > > I would like to hear your opinion.

Giving Micheals statements some thought, I agree that bundling forge packages is the way to go. Nevertheless the dependencies can (and probably) should be included, in case you want to, say, update a forge package. I have to look into building forge packages offline (i.e. not from within octave using "pkg install ..."), and then also have the installer updated to have this nice selection of packages to install, like michael has in his msvc binary. If you have experience with octave forge building, I'd appreciate help. regards benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
