Wcalc F.A.Q.

Can I run wcalc on my favorite operating system?

Wcalc is primarily developed under NetBSD, but should be easily compiled on most major unix-like operating systems. In addition, it is possible to compile Wcalc as a native windows application using MinGW.

I can't get the matlab interface to work on my computer!

Due to the high cost of Matlab, I have a very limited access to systems where I can test MEX-Wcalc. Please report exactly what system you have, the matlab version, and the exact errors. Patches are always welcome! Please submit bug reports and patches at the Wcalc Sourceforge Project Page.

Where can I report bugs?

Please submit bug reports and patches at the Wcalc Sourceforge Project Page.

Wcalc is awesome. Why is it free?

There is a lot of very good free software available. In particular, the NetBSD operating system that my computer runs is free, the GTK+ toolkit used by the graphical interface, and Scilab and Octave which provide a programming frontend are free. Given the benefit I have received from using all of these free tools, it seemed appropriate to give something back. Besides, Wcalc has been a hobby project of mine and it pleases me to know that others find it useful.
