From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Mon Dec 22 14:50:11 2003 Subject: How to use octave-forge? From: Vic Norton To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 15:46:19 -0500 I would like to download and install a linear programming routine from octave-forge, but I can't figure out how to go about it. The routine is "lp.cc". It is in the Minimization section http://octave.sourceforge.net/index/optimization.html#Minimization The URL below is attached to the specific program. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/octave/octave-forge/main/optim/lp.cc?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain I guess the project's Unix name is octave/octave-forge/main/optim/lp.cc I can see the C source for the program on the web, but that does me no good. If I copied it, I wouldn't know how to compile it so that it was part of Octave. Presumably I can "checkout" the lp package via cvs and that will come with the appropriate configuration file(s), but I simply don't know where to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. So far nothing I have tried has worked at all. Regards, Vic ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
