Re: Octave-3.6.1 for Windows (VS2008/VS2010) available

[Ole Jacob Hagen]

Hi, 

Great job!!!! ;-) 

It's even fast...;-) I've tested the 2010 version with generic libraries. Even though my computer is a i7. ;-) 

There are some stuff that needs to be sorted out. 
* png file generation gives ghostscript errors. 
* Scaling of views in fltk and qt. 
* Marker in Octave cmd prompt in octave-gui is 2-4 spaces on the right, compared to where it should be. Confusing at the beginning. ;-) 

But, what a nice surprise and good job. 

Will it be easy to build with MSVC-2010? I have MSVC-2010 Professional installed on my laptop. ;-) 


Have a nice weekend, 

Ole J.

Hi all,

I've uploaded binary installers for octave-3.6.1 compiled with Visual
Studio 2008/2010. These are available from:

VS2008: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45539519/octave-3.6.1-vs2008-setup.exe
VS2010: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45539519/octave-3.6.1-vs2010-setup.exe

To install, simply download the executable, run it and follow the
installer instructions.

These binaries contains (most of these are optional and can be
deselected during the installation procedure):
- octave 3.6.1
- all required dependencies
- 72 packages from octave-forge
- ATLAS 3.8.4 single-threaded and multi-threaded (2 threads)
- QtHandles
- experimental octave GUI (compiled from hg gui branch)
- gnuplot 4.4.4

Note that these binaries do not contain the Visual C++ compiler. They
also do not contain the corresponding VC++ runtime DLL. You can
download them separately from MS download website. These are also
installed automatically when you install the Visual C++ compiler.

Enjoy.

Michael.
