2993 | 8 GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical |
2330 | 9 computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for |
10 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. | |

43 will also need a recent version of g++ or another ANSI C++ compiler. |
7088 | 44 You will also need a Fortran 77 compiler or f2c. If you use f2c, you |
45 will need a script like fort77 that works like a normal Fortran | |
46 compiler by combining f2c with your C compiler in a single script. | |
2330 | 47 |
48 YOU MUST HAVE GNU MAKE TO COMPILE OCTAVE. Octave's Makefiles use | |
2484 | 49 features of GNU Make that are not present in other versions of make. |
2330 | 50 GNU Make is very portable and easy to install. |
