Re: Compiling without f77/g77/f2c for MacOS X

[Tom Weichmann]

Hello,

I would like to see octave spread to as many platformes as possable!!  I do 
not know how to do what you want, but I would be willing to run f2c and make 
a package for you to work with.  Just let me know how how to, and I would be 
more than happy to help the cause.
