Hi. 

I am trying to compile Octave-2.1.64 with MinGW on Window, and followed
the instructions given by Laurent Mazet: 

 % start of snip % 
- I used ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared
--disable-readline
--enable-dl

- I added -lwsock32 which wasn't detected by ./configure

- In /usr/include/winnt.h, I disabled typedef union IMAGE_AUX_SYMBOL
because of
a name conflict with Array.

- For liboctinterp I added a $(DLD_PICOBJ) into the rule of
src/Makefile

- In src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/sort.cc, I 'sed'  s/= octave_NaN/=
lo_ieee_nan_value ()/

- I finish install by hand, copying some dlls into the binary
directory.

% end of snip %

Where goes the $(DLD_PICOBJ) into the rule of src/Makefile? 

What can be done to resolve my linking errors, which are listed at the
bottom of this mail. 


Cheers, 

Ole J.
