(FileEditorMdiSubWindow::m_terminalEmulation): Remove member. * src/FileEditorMdiSubWindow.cpp (FileEditorMdiSubWindow::runFile): Call AbstractTerminalView::sendText. (FileEditorMdiSubWindow::initEditor): Change first argument to AbstractTerminalView* and store into m_terminalView. * src/MainWindow.h (AbstractTerminalView.h): New include, replacing TerminalView.h. (MainWindow::m_terminalView): Change member type to AbstractTerminalView*. (MainWindow::terminalView): Change return type to AbstractTerminalView*. * src/MainWindow.cpp (MainWindow::openEditorFile): Change first argument of FileEditorMdiSubWindow::initEditor call to AbstractTerminalView*.

Starting with version 3.0.1, Octave is once again part of the normal
net distribution of Cygwin, available from http://www.cygwin.com.  

It is possible to build Octave from source on Windows systems with Cygwin,
but with the old gcc-3.4.4-3 compiler there are some performance
problems related to the way C++ exception handling is implemented.
This is a known problem with a long history and it is STRONGLY 
encouraged to use gcc-4.3.2-1 or later.

Current binary versions are built with gcc-4.3.4-3 while 
binary version 3.0.2-2 was built with gcc-4.3.2-1.

The latest development Octave development sources (octave-3.3.54+)
are built with:

configure --enable-shared \
          --enable-float-truncate \
          CC=gcc-4 F77=gfortran-4 CXX=g++-4 CPP=cpp-4 
          lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all \
          LDFLAGS=-no-undefined 

"--enable-float-truncate" is needed for the following bug:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.bugs/12361/focus=12404
Without it, one of the quadgk test will fail as
"a=a" could be false due to truncation problems with 
complex numbers. 

"lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all"  is needed to bypass
incorrect libtool detection of system capabilities and
to allow shared libs building.


Octave-3.2.4 was built using:

configure --enable-shared \
          --without-fltk \
          --without-framework-opengl \
          CC=gcc-4 F77=gfortran-4 CXX=g++-4 CPP=cpp-4
          CFLAGS="-Dtimezone=_timezone"
