From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Jul 28 10:13:56 2000 Subject: Re: Octave does not draw the graphics on Win98 From: Tom Weichmann To: segami at rion dot co dot jp, help-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2000 15:14:53 GMT I am currently running the latest Octave beta using Windows 98. Here is what you should do. Gnuwin32 has been renamed Cygwin, and has been aquired by redhat. Since the aquisation much progress has been made with cygwin since the B18-B20 versions you have tried. The current release is 1.1.2 (non-beta)and 1.1.3 (non-beta) will soon be released. Goto http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and download the latest version. After successfully setting up cygwin goto ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Weichmann_Tom/1.2 I have buils binaries of Octave-2.1.30, Octave-2.0.16, and Gnuplot-3.7. The readme files should tell you where to unpack these tarballs. After installing Octave, and Gnuplot you need a Xwindows server, because Gnuplot is a Xwindows application. I suggest Starnet's. You can get it from http://www.starnet.com. There Xwindows server is a fully functional demo that never expires. Once everything is installed start your Xserver, then run cygwin (don't forget to set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 in your .bashrc) and octave should work great!!
