Octave windows binaries including classdef

Are there any octave default branch binaries for windows available somewhere?

If not, is there a simple way of getting a version including classdef for Linux? simple, because usually I do not use Linux.

Solution

  • I don't think there are windows builds from default (aka development) available but you may ask on the help mailinglist. (Some users there build windows binaries with MXE from development sources)

    If you want to build on GNU/Linux I would suggest Debian or Ubuntu in a VM. It is as easy as installing the dependencies, clone with hg, bootstrap, configure, make... You'll find instructions on the wiki http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Debian_systems#Compiling_from_source

    But always keep in mind that these are development sources which generally aren't suitable for productive use and may break sometime.
