When I build for octave with EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linux-x86_64
(Linux apex4.als 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Oct 25 16:36:31 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
I get some warnings -- reaching the end of a non-void function sounds like it might be a real issue. I have no idea what the final warning is about.

When I build for octave with EPICS_HOST_ARCH=darwin-x86 I get different warnings.  These sound a little more benign...

Dear all,

the enhancements to mca (Matlab Channel Access) that I announced in the last EPICS meeting are now
available (except the GUI objects - those are not really part of the mca. They will follow later - if there
is interest..)
After consulting with Kay Kasemir we decided to put the code into SourceForge (sorry APS folks,
I know you have problems with it) epics-applications project:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/epics/

The code is in CVS:/extensions/mca

It has been in use here at PSI for a while (apart from one small change in egu handling) on our
Scientific Linux 5 machines and I am not aware of any open issues.

Please take a look at the code and see if it works on other platforms and with Octave.
Do not hesitate to point out problems - I am not very experienced in matlab interface API
and my C++ skills also need some brushing up...

The main changes are listed in the release note (for version 4.2)

cheers,
Timo
