Hello
I apologized that my not deep considering distributing the testing binary have
given confusion on this
time. However, it is a good chance to consider octave development on windows
environments.
Although, a number of octave users exist on windows, number of contributers
inside octave activity for
windows platorm are quite small (Benjamin, Michael and me ( and Macro (Cygwin
not native windows))) .
I am personally feel glad the many commitments from fork this time. I could to
know that a person who
would like to participate to improve octave on windows exists.
I hope that my distribution will a good trigger windows users to consider to
support improving octave
developments.
Regards
Tatsuro
