Don't! I believe John Eaton has incorporated my patch for building octave
2.0.9 under egcs, which is also needed for gcc-2.8.0, into his test
releases, so you can just pick one of those up and build it with egcs. If
you want to stick 2.0.9, feel free to pick up the diff file (which is
backwards compatible with gcc-2.7.x using autoconf/preprocessor macros)
from:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin32/ports/
This patch uses autoconf to figure out if your compiler supports the new
friend template decl, and if so, defines the appropriate macros to support
it.
If you have problems, drop me a line. With this patch, I've built octave
2.0.9 successfully on a variety of platforms, from linux to Win32, without
any testsuite regression.
