Hello I have misled your aim. Would you like to extend Jhandle?
If so, the msys components required for pkg install can be install by the distributed install package by ckecking the Msys. You need not install MinGW. You have to install MSVC++ Express 2008 from Microsoft Homepage not but MinGW. You can find the instruction for mkoctfile and/or pkg install in my web. Please see http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/index.html File No.0004 'msvcoct.html', Note for mkoctfile (and pkg install) for MSVC-octave 3.0.3. Perhaps you have to install Sun-java but I do not use jhandle so that I have no further knowledge about constructing Jhandle.
