Trial Cygwin packages are now available for octave-2.1.71. These packages are dependent on the lapack-3.0 package now awaiting upload.
Looks good. A very nice contribution to the cygwin packages. octave starts and seems to work, though I can't judge that very well since I never used octave so far. I overrode the PATH in my .bash_login, so the /usr/lib/lapack was not in the PATH, leading to cygblas.dll and cyglapack.dll not being found. Maybe an idea to put a remark on the importance of /usr/lib/lapack being in the PATH in octave-2.1.71.README. The cygwin specific documentation dwells in /usr/doc/Cygwin and /usr/doc/octave-2.71. I guess this should be /usr/share/doc. Teun
