Hello,
I'm using octave-3.2.4. I have a compiled mex function which has been
installed to:
${prefix}/libexec/octave/3.2.4/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/wcalc-1.1/
bars_calc.mex
It works. When I run octave, bars_calc() is available as a function
and does what I expect.
However, the online help does not work.
octave-3.2.4:1> help bars_calc
error: help: `bars_calc' is not documented
yet I do have this file installed:
${prefix}/libexec/octave/3.2.4/site/m/wcalc-1.1/bars_calc.m
I think that if you have a .m file and an .oct file, Octave
just reads the .oct file and doesn't touch .m. You seem to believe
that the doc subsystem reads the .m files anyway---maybe I missed
something but I didn't think that's how it works. Octave's own
functions include the documentation via the DEFUN_DLD macro:
DEFUN_DLD (issparse, args, ,
"-*- texinfo -*-\n\
@deftypefn {Loadable Function} {} issparse (@var{expr})\n\
Return 1 if the value of the expression @var{expr} is a sparse matrix.\n\
@end deftypefn")
