Hello

Thank you for your looking for my page
Mmmm....
I have tested that the what was decribed worked.

> error: lsode: expecting first argument to be a string
Is there any typing mistake in testOrego2.m?
The error said that the octave recognised the testOrego2.m but the script file has a bug.

Please try the file attached.

Dear Dr. Matsuoka and Huaizu You,

I encountered the same error message when I tried to run the oregonator.oct - File. However, I get the same error message with any other oct-File, so I don't think the problem is related to the code on your internet page. It rather seems to be an issue of the octave or MSVC configuration. Appearently some libraries required to run the oct-file cannot be found.

I am using Octave 3.0.0 (MSVC) for windows and MSVC 2008 Express. I figured out that in order to compile oct-Files properly, two environment variables "LIB" and "INCLUDE" have to be defined in the Windows System (restart required!), pointing to the directories where the MSVC 9.0 and Microsoft SDK libraries and includes are located. Do you know by any chance if further symbols or environment variables need to be defined to run the .oct-files?

Unfortunately I cannot find out which library is missing. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Best regards,

C Stehning

Dear Huaizu You

I first ask you that you to subscribe to help@... from

https://www.cae.wisc.edu/mailman/listinfo/help-octave

Because this is complicated problem so that only I myself cannot solve this.
So you should be involved in the open discussion as a questioner.

****
This time, I have also failed.
I cannot figure out why my first trail was successful.

I checked the oregonator.oct created in the same directry in testOrego2.m.

So I executed

octave>testOrego2
The windows message
"msvcp90.dll was not found" .....
appeared.  I passed by it and get the error in octave screen pointed out from the questioner

>> error: could not find library or dependents: C:\xxxxx\octave\oregonator.oct
>> error: lsode: expecting first argument to be a string
>> error: evaluating assignment expression near line 6, column 3
>> error: near line 6 of file 'C:\xxxx\octave\testOrego2.m'


I checked where msvcp90.dll is.
The msvcp90.dll exists in
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT"

I checked the path that "vcvarsall.bat" created

PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\Tools;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727;C:\Program

files\imagemagick-6.3.5-q8;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;C:\Program

Files\Hidemaru;C:\Program Files\gnuplot-43pl0w32\gnuplot;C:\gs\gs8.60\bin;C:\gs\gs8.60\lib

There is no
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT".

So I added to  
add path to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT"

*****
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" > nul
path %path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT
rem "C:\Programs\Octave-3.0.0" is the folder where the octave has been installed.
"C:\Programs\Octave-3.0.0\bin\octave"
**************

path %path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT
is added.

After that I tried
octave>testOrego2


This time, another runtime error occurred.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Programs\Octave-3.0.0\bin\octave.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the Cruntime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

In addtion, I cannot find the reason why my first trial was no problem.
Perhaps something is different but I cannot find the reason at the moment.

[Michael Goffioul-2]

This is a runtime library problem/mismatch, due to the fact that I compiled
the octave binary package with MSVC2005, which uses a different runtime
lib than MSVC2008. This may not be a problem, except for 2 things (at
least):

1) specific runtime objects will not cross DLL boundaries: for instance a
FILE* created in one runtime lib will not be valid in the other one

2) runtime lib location/finding (the problem you actually have): WinXP uses
a mechanism based on manifest files to find and load the correct runtime
lib. This new mechanism allows MS to have several versions of the same
library installed side-by-side; the manifest file is then a XML file stating
which version of the DLL should be loaded for a given executable. There
2 ways to deal with manifest files:
    - the manifest file is a separate file installed along the executable: for
      an executable called prog.exe, the manifest file is prog.exe.manifest
    - the manifest file is embedded into the executable; I use this option to
      create the binary package as it does not require installing additional
      files. As a consequence, octave.exe is "ready" to find and load the
      MSVC2005 runtime libs (msvcr80.dll and msvcp80.dll); but it is not
      ready for the MSVC2009 runtime libs.

DLL's that uses this mechanism are located in a subdir of C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS,
which is the location you should look for when searching for msvcp90.dll. The
DLL's found in the MSVC2009 installation dir are just provided for
redistribution.
However, you can't just add the DLL dir to your PATH variable, this is not the
way WinXP expects to load those libs and it ends up with the error you see.
The correct way is through manifest files.

Now, having said that, I'm not sure if there's a way to solve your
problem: using
MSVC2008 with the binary package that is compiled with MSVC2005. The only
way I can think of is to provide a manifest file
(octave.exe.manifest); but even that
I'm not sure it'll work, because octave.exe has already an embedded manifest
file. However, here's what you can try:

1) create a file test.c with this content:

int main(void) { return 0; }

2) compile this file with: cl -MD test.c

3) this creates a manifest file test.exe.manifest

4) copy the manifest file as: <octave_root>\bin\octave.exe.manifest

5) restart octave and try again

The other solution is to rebuild octave with MSVC2008. If anybody wants to give
it a try, there is a compilation script in octave-forge
(admin/Windows/msvc/run_compilation.sh)
that automates almost everything, including downloading and compiling
dependencies.

Michael.

Hello Michael

I strongly appreciate for your extensive explanation for this problem.
I will try the following but it seem to be not easy work for me.

Hello Huaizu You

Do you want to try the below by yourself and to report results here ?

 At my web page, I described use of VC++ 2008 should be ignored at the moment.

Regards

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA-2]

Hello

I have been left from the University and I cannot test the below.
This is because I did not install MSVC2008.

Now I am in lunch time at the university.

I have tested the below.

> 5) restart octave
At the restar, I met troubles.
First time, the system tell me that msvcp80.dll was not found.
At the restart an application error occured.
So I add the path to the ....\bin\Microsoft.VC80.CRT

After that I retry it
This time system told
"Application cannot be intiarized correctly (0x80000003). Finish the application to press [OK]."

Mmmmm, unfortunately it is not successful.
However, my windows is not in good condition so I cannot assert that the way suggest by Michael
does not work.

*************************************************
Are there anyone who would like to try to do it?
*************************************************


Anyway I personally am not the MSVC-octave user. (I usually use octave on cygwin. )
I do not want to purchase it any longer and will delete the descriptions about MSVC2008 in
my web if noone try this matter.

Regarads

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA-2]

Hello

>Anyway I personally am not the MSVC-octave user.
Sorry it was wrong.  In unviersity lecture I will use MSVC-Octave 3.0.0.
I am a user of  MSVC-octave.  But in the course, I cannot treat mkoctfile because of the time
limitation.  So it is not serious to me.

Hi Micahel

I would like to you to revise the readme.txt.

This version of Octave has been
compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0, which is available for free
download from

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

Here we can now only download the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0.

Please change it by the below,

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA-2]

Hello

As a web maintainer, my attitude of the issue in ht previous mails was not good.
I would like to express my apology to related peoples.

However, my ability is limited so that it is difficult to solve the issue only by myself.

I really need a help by power users.
For the moment, plese use vc expess 2005 and platform SDK.
However, they are obsolate to the MS.
So it is not easy to find them.

VC
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&DisplayLang=en
 
Platform SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en

I will revise my web.

The web install file names are
Vc
 vcsetup.exe  (all versions have the same name, please care)

Platform SDK
 PSDK-amd64.exe
 PSDK-ia64.exe
 PSDK-x86.exe
Please select one of the above files according to kind of CPU of your computputer.

I am now re-installing the VC++ 2005 but there have been some troubles at the moment.
After I have finished, I will report here.

Regards

Tatsuro

Thanks for all your efforts on this topic.

I think that the only long-term solution would be to switch to MSVC 2008
to generate the next binary package. I'm a bit reluctant to do it, because
it took me quite some time to get a working setup, and switching to
another compiler would mean for me to recompile everything (including
all dependencies). This should happen smoothly as I have now top-level
scripts to take care of it, but this takes a huge amount of time, which
I don't have for the time being.

Michael.

Hello

I have finished to downgrading to VC++ Express 2005.

In the installing I met the following in the Microsoft page.

Under certain conditions when installing on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, a digital signature
verification error can occur. Please see Knowledge base article 925336 for details and resolution.

However, retry install have finished with success.
I confirmded the mkoctfile works with VC++ Express 2005 + Platform SDK.

For the MCVC++ express 2008, I need help with the power user of windows.

Regards

Tatsuro

You can try the approach I explained in another mail to generate the
right manifest file. But frankly speaking, I doubt it'll work...

In the previous mail, I wrote the following.
It did not work.  As I wrote, my windows is not in good condition.
Therefore I need help from those who have already installed VC++ Express 2008.

Hello

I have been left from the University and I cannot test the below.
This is because I did not install MSVC2008.

Now I am in lunch time at the university.

I have tested the below.

> 5) restart octave
At the restar, I met troubles.
First time, the system tell me that msvcp80.dll was not found.
At the restart an application error occured.
So I add the path to the ....\bin\Microsoft.VC80.CRT

After that I retry it
This time system told
"Application cannot be intiarized correctly (0x80000003). Finish the application to press [OK]."

Mmmmm, unfortunately it is not successful.
However, my windows is not in good condition so I cannot assert that the way suggest by Michael
does not work.

*************************************************
Are there anyone who would like to try to do it?
*************************************************


Anyway I personally am not the MSVC-octave user. (I usually use octave on cygwin. )
I do not want to purchase it any longer and will delete the descriptions about MSVC2008 in
my web if noone try this matter.

Regarads

Hi, Tatsuro & Michael,

Thanks for your efforts trying to fix the problem. I would like to help, unfortunately, I'm not a power Windows user, either. My solution is using MATLAB compiler, mcc, instead of mkoctfile. However, in this way, the user needs to buy MATLAB rather than using free software. Hope Octave project would continue and prosperous.

Sincerely,
Huaizu
