-Implementation
---------------
-
-Octave is being developed with the Free Software Foundation's make,
-bison (a replacement for YACC), flex (a replacement for lex), gcc/g++,
-and libstdc++ on an Intel Pentium II system running Linux/GNU.  It
-should be possible to install it on any machine that runs GCC/G++.  It
-may also be possible to install it using other implementations of
-these tools, but it will most certainly require much more work.  Do
-yourself a favor and get the GNU development tools, either via
-anonymous ftp from ftp.gnu.org or by writing the Free Software
-Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
-02110-1301, USA.
-
-The underlying numerical solvers are currently standard Fortran ones
-like Lapack, Linpack, Odepack, the Blas, etc., packaged in a library
-of C++ classes (see the files in the libcruft and liboctave
-subdirectories).  If possible, the Fortran subroutines are compiled
-with the system's Fortran compiler, and called directly from the C++
-functions.  If that's not possible, they are translated with f2c and
-compiled with a C compiler.  Better performance is usually achieved if
-the intermediate translation to C is avoided.
-
-The library of C++ classes may also be useful by itself.
+currently no complete documentation of the C++ class libraries.  If
+you notice ommissions or inconsistencies, please report them as bugs

-Octave is now part of the normal net distribution of Cygwin, available
-from http://www.cygwin.com.  To install the Cygwin package of Octave:
-
- 1. Use your favorite browser to view the page http://www.cygwin.com
-
- 2. Click on the "Install or update now" link.
-
- 3. A dialog should appear with the option to run the setup program
-    from its current location or save it to disk.  Either will work,
-    but I usually choose to save the setup program to disk so that it
-    is possible to run it later to update the installation without
-    having to go back to the web page using a browser.
-
- 4. Run the setup program.
-
- 5. Choose "Install from Internet".
-
- 6. Select a root install directory.  You may choose any directory, but
-    it needs to have enough space for Octave and all the related
-    tools.  Sorry, I don't know how much space that is at present.
-
- 7. Select a local package directory.  This is a directory that the
-    setup program will use to temporarily store package files before
-    installing them.  It should have plenty of space (probably 70MB
-    or more).  You may delete this directory once the installation is
-    complete.
-
- 8. Select your Internet Connection.  Probably "Direct Connection" is
-    OK unless you are behind a firewall of some kind that limits your
-    access to the Internet.
+An obsolete version of Octave (2.1.73) is part of the normal net
+distribution of Cygwin, available from http://www.cygwin.com.  Check
+the package list in Cygwin's setup.exe installer if you would like to
+try using it.  However, 2.1.73 is unsupported and we STRONGLY
+recommended that you use a more recent version of Octave.
 
- 9. Choose a download site.  One that is "near" you on the net is
-    probably best.
-
-10. Select packages.  Choose Octave from the Math category and gnuplot
-    from the graphics category.
-
-11. Once the download and file installation is done, click Finish.  I
-    usually choose to create an icon on the desktop and put an icon in
-    the start menu.  After you click finish, a series of scripts will
-    run, displaying some output in a terminal window.  It will take a
-    few minutes.
-
-12. To run Octave, start Cygwin.  This will bring up a terminal
-    window.  In that window type
-
-      startx
-
-    (a running X server is needed for plotting).  Running startx will
-    bring up a new window.  In that window, type
-
-      octave
-
-    That should present you with an Octave prompt.  Type
-
-      sombrero (41)
-
-    at this prompt and a new window with the sombrero plot should appear.
-
-13. IMPORTANT: to build .oct files (dynamically loaded functions) for
-    Octave, you will also need the octave-headers package.  Currently,
-    due to some bugs in the most recent version of the C++ compiler
-    and libraries for Cygwin, you will also need gcc and g++ 3.3
-    rather than 3.4.  You can use the setup.exe installer to select
-    and install the older version.
+It should be possible to build Octave on Windows systems with Cygwin,
+but at the time of this writing, there are some performance problems
+related to the way C++ exception handling is implemented with the
+default Cygwin compiler.  This is a known problem with a long history.
+If you would like to see this problem corrected, please search the
+Cygwin mailing lists for threads related to "sjlj exception handling"
+(or similar).

-NOTE: This file was originally written several years ago, when many
-people were complaining that Octave would not work for them on Linux
-systems.  Generally, the problems were not actually bugs in Octave.
-More recently, the compilers are better, most distributions are more
-complete, and it seems harder to install incompatible sets of
-libraries or header files (but some people still manage to do it).
-
-Since July 1996, most work on Octave has been done using a Linux
-system, and a number of people who regularly test Octave snapshot
-releases also primarily use Linux systems.  Because of this, I believe
-Octave should run reasonably well on most current Linux systems.
-However, there have been some problems in the past, usually the result
-of improper installation of compilers or libraries.  Sometimes the
-problems have happened because of a botched upgrade or even a buggy
-Linux distribution.
-
-If you can, you should probably install Octave using one of the Debian
-or RPM packages for Octave that are available with the major Linux
-distributions.  For example, Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>
-maintains the Debian Octave package and usually has them ready within
-a day or so of new Octave releases.  They are available via the WWW at
-http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.
-
-If for some reason you can't (or choose not to) install Octave from
-one of the binary distributions or by using one of the Debian or RPM
-packages and something goes wrong, please check the following list to
-see if your problem is already well known before reporting a bug.
-
-Octave compiles, but it won't run
----------------------------------
-
-If you can compile Octave, but it crashes with a segmentation fault
-right away, you probably have incompatible versions of libc and
-libstdc++ installed, or you have a version of the dynamic loader,
-ld.so, that is incompatible with your versions of the libraries, or
-both.
-
-Octave won't even compile
--------------------------
+There are binary packages for Debian, Fedora, and other GNU/Linux
+distributions.
 
-If you can't compile Octave, you should first check to see that your
-compiler and header files are properly installed.  Do you have
-multiple versions of the g++ include files on your system?  Are you
-sure that your copy of g++ is finding the right set?  You can find out
-by compiling a simple C++ program with -v:
-
-bash$ cat foo.cc
-#include <iostream.h>
-int main (void) { cerr << "yo\n"; return 0; }
+Octave should build cleanly from source on most GNU/Linux systems.
 
-bash$ g++ -v foo.cc
-gcc -v foo.cc -lstdc++ -lm
-Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/specs
-gcc version 2.7.2
- /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/cpp -lang-c++ -v -undef ...
-#include "..." search starts here:
-#include <...> search starts here:
- /usr/lib/g++-include
- /usr/local/include
- /usr/i486-linux/include
- /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/include
- /usr/include
-End of search list.
-...
-
-If the location of the correct set of include files is not listed in
-the search path, then you might be able to fix that with a symbolic
-link.  However, if your version of libstdc++ was not compiled with your
-current version of gcc, you are likely to run into more trouble.
-
-I/O in dynamically loaded .oct files doesn't work
--------------------------------------------------
-
-If Octave prints things like `%.-1e' instead of numbers when you use a
-dynamically linked .oct file, you probably need to create shared
-versions of the Octave libraries.  To do that, configure Octave with
---enable-shared, recompile, and reinstall.
-

-
-Octave:        a Matlab-like programming language that is freely distributable

-
-(2) Future work:
-=============
-Dynamic linking is apparently not yet supported, so .oct files cannot be used 
-(yet) in Power MachTen.
-
-(3) To install Octave on MachTen 4.1:
-=============
-Short instructions:  MachTen automatically defines __MACHTEN_PPC__ on
-power MachTen.  The octave configure script sets most everything up properly.
-Here's a few details that also need done:
-
-(a) Put libncurses into the Tenon Application Library Folder
-(b) Replace the MT /usr/bin/sed with gnu sed (I used 2-0.5).
-(c) <sys/signal.h>: Is fixed in MachTen 4.1.1
-(d) Set virtual memory to a huge number (I used 200Mb)
-(f) make all; it will fail on toplev.cc due to a problem with src/oct-conf.h
-(g) Fix src/oct-conf.h and make all again.
-(g) make install
-
-Here are the details for the above items:
-(a) Be sure that libncurses is in the Tenon Application Library in
-    the Extensions folder:
-
-    (i) use resedit.  
-    (ii) Open the libncurses file in folder:
-          Extensions/Tenon Applications Library/disabled
-    (iii) Open the cfrag resource.  Scroll down a bit and you will find the 
-        string libcurses.  Change it to libncurses. Save.
-    (iv) Change (File Menu/File Information) the file creator to MUMM. Save.
-    (v) now move libncurses out of the disabled folder to 
-          Extensions/Tenon Applications Library
-    (vi) Reboot.  
-
-(b) Replace the MT /usr/bin/sed with gnu sed (I used 2-0.5).  
-    This fixes a problem with the kpathsea/klibtool script.
-
-(c) Login as root and apply the following patch to /usr/include/sys/signal.h:
-    Otherwise src/sighandlers.cc will not compile properly.  (The change
-    is consistent with <sys/signal.h> headers on our sun network as well.)

-
-(d) For increased speed in compiling and decreased disk space requirements,

-
-    Also remove -g from:
