| 8105 | 1 Starting with version 3.0.1, Octave is once again part of the normal |
| 2 net distribution of Cygwin, available from http://www.cygwin.com. | |
| 3 The latest previous version available was 2.1.73 | |
| 4 | |
| 5 It is possible to build Octave on Windows systems with Cygwin, | |
| 6 but with standard gcc-3.4.4-3 compiler there are some performance | |
| 7 problems related to the way C++ exception handling is implemented. | |
| 8 This is a known problem with a long history so it is suggested to use | |
| 9 version gcc-4.3.2-1 or later. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 Binary version 3.0.2-2 is built with gcc-4.3.2-1 | |

| 7088 | 17 An obsolete version of Octave (2.1.73) is part of the normal net |
| 18 distribution of Cygwin, available from http://www.cygwin.com. Check | |
| 19 the package list in Cygwin's setup.exe installer if you would like to | |
| 20 try using it. However, 2.1.73 is unsupported and we STRONGLY | |
| 21 recommended that you use a more recent version of Octave. | |

| 7088 | 23 It should be possible to build Octave on Windows systems with Cygwin, |
| 24 but at the time of this writing, there are some performance problems | |
| 25 related to the way C++ exception handling is implemented with the | |
| 26 default Cygwin compiler. This is a known problem with a long history. | |
| 27 If you would like to see this problem corrected, please search the | |
| 28 Cygwin mailing lists for threads related to "sjlj exception handling" | |
| 29 (or similar). | |

| 8105 | 31 There is also an "unofficial" Octave distribution for Cygwin: |
| 7694 | 32 |
| 33 1. http://www.geocities.jp/tmacchant | |
| 34 | |
| 35 The binaries here are built using gcc-3.4.4-3 configured with | |
| 36 --disable-sjlj-exceptions. Performance is improved by using DWARF | |
| 37 exception handling instead of setjump/longjump exception | |
| 38 handling. However, to build dynamically loaded .oct files that | |
| 39 will work with this version of Octave, you must use the same | |
| 40 specially configured version of GCC that was used to build Octave | |
| 41 itself and not the version of GCC that is distributed with | |
| 42 Cygwin. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 This binary is maintained by Tatsuro Matsuroka. | |
