Subject: Compiling Scilab and Octave: 
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi I've been trying for ages (without much success) to compile the packages
Scilab and Octave under Cygwin. 
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/scilab/   http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave/

I'm a bit of a novice with Cygwin, and unix programming,  so I was
wondering if someone can help me interpret the error messages I am getting
out of configure and make.

I am using Cygwin 20.1 (later snapshot, corresponding to Droolview
implementation 200001119) and gcc 2.95.2. Running on Windows 95. 
Gnu make v. 3.78.1 Autoconf 2.13 Bash 2.03 
Scilab v2.5,  Octave v. 2.0.15.

The messages I am getting for Scilab are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCILAB 2.5:
On running ./configure I got the following error:

checking host system type... i586-pc-cygwin
configure error: unable to configure for host i586-pc-cygwin

I checked inside the file configure.in and found the statement:
 *-*-cygwin32)
I figure this has to be changed: 
I tried changing cygwin32 to just cygwin, and deleted config.cache and ran
./configure 
again, but it didn't help. 

Can anyone suggest anything?

------------------------------------------------
The messages I am getting for Octave are:

running ./configure
configure warning: 

I didn't find -ltermcap, -lterminfo, -lncurses, -lcurses or -ltermlib


Make errors:

--- Clock skew detected. 

--- File ... has modification time in the future
  2000-01-31 20:11:10 > 2000-01-31 20:11:09

--- make unrecognized option -rdynamic

--- undefined reference 'tputs'
    ld returned 1 exit status

Any help you can give me will be certainly appreciated.
Thanks very much. Glenn.
