The last windows build with a fully functional jhandles was by accident exactly the build with the MSVC license issue. It was definitely not the jhandles itself which was the problem (I followed at that time the discussion and was a bit confused why the MSVC libs do not qualify as system libs). Jhandles should in theory work well with mingw (in fact it does except a nasty bug when you try to close the plot windows), this bug does not exist on linux so I cannot debug it (my windows programming times are almost more than a decade ago).
To make a long story short, I would volunteer to help to save the jhandles package so that it has a future, if there is some interest that it still exists (I am a professional java programmer) but need time to understand the problems with the windows port. - mh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
