Re: Can Octave (Matlab code) be added to C++ as a library?

[evansste]

The link, about standalone programs, mentions that Octave has an archived
library file called "liboctave.a".  Where would I find this file?  Here's
that link, which was posted earlier by siko1056:

https://octave.org/doc/v5.2.0/Standalone-Programs.html 

I've written programs in Fortran, and would like to use "ismember" and
"unique", which are native Octave functions, in my Fortran programs.  I
already have many of my own Fortran programs stored in an archive file. 
Could I just include the "liboctave.a" file, along with my own archive file,
and be able to use Octave's native functions?

For example, this is how I currently compile a Fortran program so that I may
use my own Fortran functions in the program:

caf <fortran_source_file.f08> -o <executable_name_of_source_file>
fortranlib.a

If I want to also include Octave's functions would I simply do something
like:

caf <fortran_source_file.f08> -o <executable_name_of_source_file>
fortranlib.a liboctave.a

I'd love to use native Octave functions in my Fortran programs since doing
so would prevent me from having to re-write those functions in Fortran. 
Would this work, and where might I find the "liboctave.a" file?

Thanks so much for your time.
