Octave 2.1.70 with cygwin

[Carine Simon]

Hi all,

I’ve had to reinstall Cygwin, thus Octave and Octave-forge and I’ve got new problems:

If I try to install octave 2.1.70 from the beginning, I’ve got the following error during the make:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find –lglob

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[2]: *** [liboctave.dll] Error 1

After have run a ./configure –enable-shared.

I might have to precise that I am under Windows XP and I had managed (thanks to your help…) to install the 2.1.67 version.

Now, if I try to use the PSOctave2170 directly, putting everything in /usr/local, it does work but when I want to install the octave-forge 2004.11.16, when I try to configure it, I’ve got the following error:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find –loctinterp

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile

(If I find mkoctfile, it does exist under /usr/local/bin).

So, once more, I am stuck. Anybody to help me around?

Cheers,

Carine.
