==Using Visual C++ compiler== | |||
As of version 3.6.1, the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler is not automatically detected. If you need to use it from octave (for instance to compile a MEX or OCT file), then you must configure your system by updating the appropriate environment variables: '''%PATH%''', '''%INCLUDE%''' and '''%LIB%'''. One way to achieve this easily is to call the vcvarsall.bat script (from the Visual C++ installation directory) prior executing octave. You can for instance automate this by creating a batch script with the following content (adapt paths to your actual installation): | |||
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" | |||
"C:\Octave-3.6.1\bin\octave.exe" | |||
