[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57059] [octave forge] (econometrics) installation errors/warnings on Windows

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #57059 (project octave):

For any packages I added to the windows build it has been because it is either
 a package that is used a lot ie: io package or has additional dependencies
that need to be installed in order for it to work (netcdf needs gdcm
libraries, database needs the pgsql libraries etc).

I dont think there's been any real hard and fast rule for reasons it will/wont
be included.

Of course the other issue with including packages that when the package fails
to compile anymore it breaks the mxe build.

There are several packages in the build now that have been patched heavily in
order to keep them, some of which haven't had a new release for years.
