Notes
=====

These binary packages do not include the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
It can be obtained from Microsoft download website. These binaries work
with any flavour of the VC++ compiler, including the Express Edition.

In case the Visual C++ compiler is not installed on the target system,
the Visual C++ Runtime Libraries package must be installed. This contains
the necessary runtime libraries to run octave. This package can be downloaded
from the Microsoft download website:

Visual Studio 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582
Visual Studio 2010: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Using Visual C++ compiler
=========================

The Visual C++ compiler is not automatically detected by this octave release,
so you must configure your system by updating the appropriate environment
variables: %PATH%, %INCLUDE% and %LIB%. One easy way to achieve this is to
call the vcvarsall.bat script in a command prompt prior executing octave.

For instance you can create a batch script with the following content
(please adapt the paths to your actual installation):

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
"C:\Octave-3.6.1\bin\octave.exe"
