Configure liboctave for MSVC ...

Dear all,

According to the Readme.MSVC file, I will need a globbing library in order to compile Octave for MSVC. However, I cannot locate such a library on octave (although the readme file says so). On google, I do find the following one:

http://users.tkk.fi/~mniemenm/glob/index.html

Would this one work?

Also, I am assuming the following steps described in the Readme file is referring to the globbing library, as it does not work on the base octave package. Am I right?

* download and decompress the sources

* run "./configure.vc" (you can edit it to change the installation dir)

* run "make"

* run "make install"

Any help on this will be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Patrick

All the information contained in that readme file has been made obsolete
when the support for octave MSVC binaries was dropped. So you
shouldn't pay to much attention to it and I guess that file should be removed
in further octave releases.

I don't think the link you mentioned points to the correct glob library. I'll
send you the one I use by private mail.

Michael.
