Overview
--------
Availability

Installation
------------
To compile Octave, you will need a recent version of GNU Make. You
will also need a recent version of g++ or another ANSI C++ compiler.
You will also need a Fortran 77 compiler or f2c. If you use f2c, you
will need a script like fort77 that works like a normal Fortran
compiler by combining f2c with your C compiler in a single script.
The file BUGS explains the recommended procedure for reporting bugs
or contributing patches.
Documentation
-------------
Octave's manual has been revised for version 3.4, but it is lagging a
bit behind the development of the software. In particular, there is
currently no complete documentation of the C++ class libraries. If
you notice omissions or inconsistencies, please report them on the
bug tracker at http://bugs.octave.org. Specific suggestions for ways
to improve Octave and its documentation are always welcome.
Reports
with patches are even more welcome.
