Thanks, I have updated the "Octave-3.6.0-mingw + octaveforge pkgs" section in http://www.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Octave_for_Windows The following text copied from this section can be used as a readme for http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.6.0%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20installer/ ************************************** Octave-3.6.0-mingw + octaveforge pkgs 1. Files for manual installation a. Octave-3.6.0-mingw binaries tree Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_20120129.7z - MD5:53E4823B0DC5F2923C4CBCB8B60FC1B6 This is a 7z archive which includes a directory tree of all the binaries and libraries required for a complete octave installation (excluding octaveforge packages) The archive includes: octave-3.6.0 including PDF documentation (built by Tatsuro Matsuka http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/) mingw32 + msys tool chain gnuplot-4.4.4 fig2dev-3.2.5c ghostscript-9.0.4 pstoedit-3.60 Maintainer: Nitzan Arazi Latest update: 2012-01-29 b. Octaveforge pkgs, built for Octave-3.6.0-mingw Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20120128.7z - MD5:93CC6207EED411BCE747193D3A8B6625 This is a 7z archive which includes additional binaries and libraries for a set of octaveforge packages.

Manual installation instructions Create an installation directory of which doesn't have space chars (i.e. C:\Octave\Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2\). This directory is referred hereafter as <your_install_dir>. Extract the complete directories tree from Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_20120129.7z to the installation directory keeping the original directory structure as in the archive (you can use 7-zip tool from http://www.7-zip.org/). Copy octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2.lnk to any convenient location and edit its properties respectively to point to <your_install_dir>\bin\octave.exe and <your_install_dir>\share\octave\3.6.0\imagelib\octave-logo.ico as an icon Copy octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_docs.lnk to any convenient location and edit its properties respectively to point to <your_install_dir>\doc\octave and <your_install_dir>\share\octave\3.6.0\imagelib\octave-logo.ico as an icon. At this point you can: a. Launch and use octave by double-clicking the copied octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2.lnk b. Access and browse the documentation files by double-clicking the copied octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_docs.lnk 3. Manual installation instructions for the Octave-forge packages Extract the complete directories tree from Octave3.6.0_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20120128.7z to the installation directory (<your_install_dir>) keeping the original directory structure as in the archive (you can use 7zip tool from http://www.7-zip.org/). In order to update octave_packages database with your installation tree and auto-load most packages (excluding 'ad' and 'windows' which may crash octave when loaded and 'clear all' is executed), launch Octave and execute the following 3 rebuild commands from the octave console: pkg rebuild -auto pkg rebuild -noauto ad windows pkg rebuild -auto java Last pkg rebuild command is required in order for the java pkg entry to be moved to the top of <your_install_dir>\share\octave\octave_packages db file - thus java pkg is loaded before io pkg is loaded, and io pkg related jars are added to java class path. You can optionally adjust your installed packages status per your specific needs and usage by executing the following commands: a. To interactively load or unload a package pkg load <pkg_name> or pkg unload <pkg_name> b. To disable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name> pkg rebuild -noauto <pkg_name> c. To enable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name> pkg rebuild -auto <pkg_name> d. To completely uninstall a package pkg uninstall <pkg_name> 4. Optional installation of Notepad++ as an editor (recommended) Download recent Notepad++ installation package from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and install it on your system. Edit <your_install_dir>\share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc and un-comment the line which sets octave default editor: EDITOR('C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe'); Note: You may adjust the above line for the location of notepad++.exe as installed on your system. 5. Troubleshooting Upon launching, some warnings may be displayed. These warnings can be ignored. Following warnings are about missing external tools which may reduce some of the functions of some packages. These external tools are not provided by the 7z archives in sourceforge. warning: gmsh does not seem to be present some functionalities will be disabled warning: dx does not seem to be present some functionalities will be disabled Following warning is about fstat function of the statistics package that overloads the old (to be deprecated) fstat function of octave-3.6.0 warning: function C:\Octave\3.6.0_gcc-4.6.2\share\octave\packages\statistics-1.1.0\fstat.m shadows a core library function ************************************** -- View this message in context: http://gnu-octave-repository.2306053.n4.nabble.com/Permission-for-sourceforge-site-Re-Octave3-6-0-gcc4-6-2-mingw-binaries-for-testing-tp4350082p4365751.html Sent from the octave-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
