Cannot compile for Octave in Ubuntu12.04

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just run command 'make', and then it will show that 'mex cannot be found'.
2. If modify the Makefile by replacing 'mex' with 'mkotfile --mex' and run 
'make' again, there are compiling errors in the source code.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I cannot install it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The lastest version in Ubuntu12.04

If you are trying to run via some custom arguments and parameters, i.e. for
your own datasets etc. Can you post in the argument size and type (you can
get that via whos('argumentname')?

Please provide any additional information below.

hi there

sorry for my late reply.

oh, i will look into it. someone did give me a patch for making it run on 
octave a while back. let me give it a try and write back. feel free to bug me 
if i don't get back to you within a week or so.

hi @sgzhaohang

i was able to compile and run octave, but octave seems to behave badly with the 
generated mex files. classification runs sometimes, regression just hangs if 
training is done multiple times

let me see if i can port it to octave.

Hello,
Thank you for making this package available. What is the status of the port to 
octave?

Hi

i was able to make classification work (code in the svn) but regression is 
still causing issues with octave (multiple runs cause a hang).

you will need to run make octave to generate the octave mex files and then you 
should be able to run the tutorial files
