Hello:

I've installed the MXE Windows compilation of Octave
(http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/), and I need to install some packages from octave
forge. There is no problem when the package has not external dependencies.
For packages with external dependencies, I've installed them via MinGW, but
I don't know how to tell 'pkg install' how the dependencies paths for the
headers and libraries are. Has anyone installed packages with external
dependencies in MXE Octave for windows?

Thanks

Which packages? I have been trying where I can to add any dependencies to
mxe to make it easier.
You could install into the octave installed root using the prefix command
for any programs that use configure.
Otherwise, set environment variables for CPPFLAGS etc?
