Missing DLLs (was: Issues & questions building Octave-3.4.2 MinGW)

[Miloš Komarčević]

Hi Tatsuro,

Thanks for building the latest Octave on MinGW and making it available
for testing.

I have tried both 27/7 and 8/8 packages and have some problems with
missing DLLs:

For 27/7, it was the libwmflite-7.dll, and for 8/8 it is libltdl-7.dll.

Both of these errors show up when I attempt an 'imread'.

I haven't tried building myself yet, but just an idea:

Why not combine efforts and keep all MinGW related patches and
instructions at one central place under version control, e.g.:

http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/admin/Windows/

I see Benjamin already has scripts there that download and install the
build environment and the dependencies for 3.4.x, why not build on
that?
