building octave-4.0.0-rcx on Cygwin

[tmacchant]

Marco

I would like to test new version of octave (octave-4.0.0-rc4 current) on Cygwin.
I have tried to build on cygwin-64.  However, dynamic libraries of liboctinterp was not built and static version was built.
For liboctave,  cygoctave-3.dll was built.

What do you think the origin of fail to generate dll for liboctinterp?

I appreciate your help.

I can install them and see the octave-gui and confirm that I can handle non-ascii characters in path and file names. I will test tomorrow further.
Windows native version cannot handle non-ascii characters in path and file names :-(.

Thank you for your good job and kindness!!!.

I can handle multibyte characters encoded utf8 (octave editor uses only utf8 encoding) on terminal window.
(Windows native version uses the codepage. Setting codepage to 65001 does not solve the problem.)

I am glad the cygwin version octave-4.0 does not suffer the problem as expected.

Achim.

Thank you for your suggestion.
From discussions on the octave bug list, readdir in mingw seems to be buggy for utf8 encoded code.
