Octave can be built on cygwin too !

Pre-requisites

Once you have setup a system with build tools (gcc, make, ...) repeat a few times this procedure:

  1. start configure and watch for missing dependencies
  2. install either the required tool, either the "devel" version of the missing package

The next step is to tweak a bit the texlive configuration file: (remember cygwin as no sudo command) 

   vi /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c

Change 

   TEXMFLOCAL = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-site

into 

   TEXMFLOCAL = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-site:$TEXMFROOT/texmf

Then run 

   mktexlsr

Build

Now you are ready to built your

Before building Octave from scratch on a Mac OS X platform you need to install several GNU programs and libraries that are not shipped with your Mac.
