Creating a standalone executable:Debian Lenny, P6

[Mike B.]

Hi Soren,

Thanks for your reply. Your solution requires the user to have octave installed as you are referring to making the script (m file) executable by loading octave while I want to create a standalone file (please see my original post) which does not require the user to install octave, that is a binary executable.

Cheers,
Mike.

You could something like

  #!/usr/bin/env octave

to the top of your file and make it executable using 'chmod'. That
should do the trick
