Re: Package installation trouble

[Vinicio Serment Moreno]

Hi Tatsuro, hoped you enjoyed your weekend.

I'm sorry but when I type on:

>> getevn('PATH')

error: 'getevn' undefined near line 1 column 2

I also created a copy of file octave_gui.bat to save it as octavetrick_gui.bat, and make the modifications you suggested, but still did not work. I attach the file to see whether I edited the correct code. However, I type:

>>octavetrick_gui.bat

error: 'octavetrick_gui' undefined near line 1 column 1

Else, it would be a true shame I cannot use your freeware, you guys just did an amazing job and it looks really awesome.

Thank you, have a nice day.

Vinicio

I recommend bottom posting on this ML because it is custom in this ML.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do

BTW,
Hmmmmm! I do not find any reason why your octave failed to use mingw gcc in the octave folder.

>> getevn('PATH')
tells but I expect that 

ans = C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin;(other paths)


If path is above, I cannot say any further.

>>> c:/anaconda3/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.0/


It seems that anaconda3 ships ver 4.7.0 mingw64 64bit gcc judging from your path setting.

Octave-4.0.0 distributed on the octave web site is 32 bit application and your octave did not 
use gcc bundled with octave so that your octave fails pkg install.

The solution is that mkoctfile (which is used in pkg install) does use octave bundles gcc but 
not that bundles with anaconda3.

One tricky solution to make batch file like the below


Rem trick batch file "octavetrick_gui.bat"
@echo off
PATH=C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0;C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin
octave.vbs --force-gui

Then startoctave using "octavetrick_gui.bat" and try to execute pkg install.
