GNU Octave is a numerically oriented high level mathematical programming language. It is useful for science, engineering and maths, and it is mostly compatible with matlab. [1]

Installation

The following is a list of the steps I followed to install Octave on the Maemo 5 SDK:

  • Compile and Install Gnuplot
  • Compile and Install f2c
  • Install fort77 script

cp fort77

  • Compile and Install GNU Octave
./configure F77=fort77 CXXFLAGS=-pthread FLIBS=-lf2c
make
fakeroot make install
