The configure script for the development version, sure. You shouldn't
be using it unless you plan to participate in Octave development.
Please discuss improvements to it on the maintainers' list.

gperftools-devel? What is that supposed to be for?

yes, mingw is slow as i tested. But i'm using GUI Octave 1.7 as editor and
it is designed for windows. so i should use windows version of binaries. but
as mentioned in top of this plan if we have "A working GUI" maybe there's
no need to GUI Octave.

good idea!
I will think on it.
thank you.

I am running the devel version for the sake of developing octave mode
for now.
Basically 'configure' doesn't complain and let 'make' run for minutes to
generate the error. This is a huge waste of time. I think I must have
run './configure and make' for a dozen times to fix all errors and
eventually produce a running octave.

'make' keeps complaining 'gperf' not found even though that package is
installed. it stopped after I installed gperftools-devel.
I am not exactly sure what happens.

What was your test, how was mingw slow? I believe it's only the
startup time that is slow. What BLAS were you using?
We really want to ensure that mingw is good, because the hope is to
make official binaries with it. We shouldn't need non-free software to
build Octave.

No warnings either? I see that there is code for warnings for
QScintilla and texinfo.
The configure script is crafted for release tarballs, so at least the
the texinfo dependency doesn't need to be checked as a hard
dependency, because if you're building from hg, you're supposed to
know what you're doing.

This is odd. What are we using gperf for? It might be a libtool thing.
I'll try to look into it later.
