152 ----------------

154 Octave also requires a filename globbing library. This library is
155 typically part of the C library on UNIX systems, but is not part of
156 the Windows or MSVC run-time libraries. You can find a glob package
157 on the Octave website. This package provides the missing features and
158 is intended to be compiled in a fully setup shell with the
159 Unix-to-MSVC compilation scripts:
160
161 * download and decompress the sources
162 * run "./configure.vc" (you can edit it to change the installation dir)
163 * run "make"
164 * run "make install"
165
166 Then you'll have to tell MSVC where to find the headers and library
167 files by adjusting the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. This
168 can be done before starting the shell, in the "additional setup" step
169 (see above).
