[OctDev] Install package under Windows

[Greg <ewa...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm having some problems installing some extensions, but using the "GUI
Octave" package manager and the standard Octave CLI.

I've downloaded the Image package, and here is the result:

octave.exe:4> pkg install C:/Users/<user>/Desktop/image.tar.gz
> make: *** [__spatial_filtering__.oct] Error -1
> 'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory
> `C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-3/image-1.0.15/src'
> mkoctfile -Wall __spatial_filtering__.cc
> make: Leaving directory
> `C:/Users/SURRGRE/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-3/image-1.0.15/src'
> error: called from `pkg>configure_make' in file
> C:\Octave\share\octave\3.6.2\m\pkg\pkg.m near line 1385, column 9
> error: called from:
> error:   C:\Octave\share\octave\3.6.2\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 827, column 5
> error:   C:\Octave\share\octave\3.6.2\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 383, column 9


I have already sucessfully installed packages on my home linux-based
computer, but I had never tried on Windows. Do you have some ideas to get
it working?


Here are my Octave install caracteristics (from the "welcome screen"):

GNU Octave, version 3.6.2

Octave was configured for "i686-pc-mingw32".
>
 - MSYS shell available (C:\Octave\msys).

 - Graphics backend: gnuplot.
