I would like to install MUMPS database in Windows 8.1. I was trying to install but there is no exe file for MUMPS database. Can anyone give me a hand?. I downloaded a lot of files from this site https://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/files/ but still don't know where to start.
From the README for that project, you'll need to install Cygwin:
NOTES on cygwin
For Windows, install the Cygwin environment at http://cygwin.com/install.html
Run cygwin terminal (on win7 or win8 run it as administrator).
Setup the Cygserver using /usr/bin/cygserver-config.
edit /usr/include/cygwin/shm.h
add near end
#define SHM_R (IPC_R)
#define SHM_W (IPC_W)
edit /usr/include/cygwin/ipc.h
move third last #endif 3 lines up
Once you have Cygwin setup, the mumps.exe file available to download at the link you provide should run.
That said, I would agree with Evgeny in recommending you try the free evaluation version of InterSystems Caché. It is a far more accessible Mumps implementation for Windows and it has an extensive set of libraries for common functionality.

I have the 4.0.3 Octave version on my machine.
and I would like to upgrade my version using windows.
Can someone tell me please the steps to follow?
Thanks.
If you want to remove v4.0.3, the complete answer will depend on how you installed that version in the first place.
If you used an executable installer, then there should be an 'uninstall' option available. On Windows 10, you can sometimes right click on the shortcut in the startmenu and an Uninstall option will appear. Otherwise you can follow the directions at this link to navigate through the Settings to the Apps & Features window, which lists everything installed and will provide an Uninstall option.
If you used a zip package to 'install' Octave 4.0.3 just by unzipping it to a folder on your hard drive, then no uninstall process is necessary. you can just delete the folder and shortcuts manually.
You can have multiple octave versions installed next to each other, the folders will have version numbers to prevent them from overwriting themselves.
To install the latest version (5.1.0 as of this answer, although 5.2.0 will be released very soon):
You can find the installation files for Windows by going to the Octave download page and clicking 'Windows'. There will be several file options there. Most people choose the first one (octave-5.1.0-w64-installer.exe) for 64bit systems. You can just download that or one of the other .exe versions, execute that program, and follow the prompts. If for some reason you would rather download a zip package and do a manual setup, I suggest you follow the instructions at the Octave for Microsoft Windows Wiki page to make sure everything is configured correctly.
Ejabberd has a windows installer but the source does not compile for windows out of the box.
configure.bat has references to configure.erl but this file doesn't exist.
How do they do it?
From what I know, the windows installer is cross-compiled, or some weird stuff, and also requires specific program to pack the installer. So, building a Windows installer is not possible.
But you can download the ejabberd source code, make any changes you want to the erlang source code, compile it with the same Erlang/OTP version that is included in the Windows installer, and copy the *.beam files you have modified into the ejabberd installed directory.
I am trying to use libvmi tool on KVM virtual machine running on Eucalyptus cloud. It is a cloud-in-a-box 3.4.2 version. To use libvmi on KVM, it requires me to change the qemu-kvm that Eucalyptus by default uses. So I did a patch to the qemu-kvm-1.2.0 source code, compiled it and "make && make install" as this web page said: https://github.com/bdpayne/libvmi/tree/master/tools/qemu-kvm-patch.
Now I need to make sure my system will use this newly installed version of qemu-kvm when running KVM virtual machines. Could anyone tell me how to setup so that Eucalyptus would use my newly-installed qemu-kvm when launching new instances?
I tried "yum erase qemu-kvm", hoping to erase the original version of qemu-kvm so that maybe Eucalyptus would have to use the qemu I just compiled and installed. However when I used "yum erase qemu-kvm", it said "eucalyptus-nc" would also need to be erased for depedency reason, so I didn't continue.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
I guess you have a couple options:
Tell configure to install into location used by the packaged installation (perhaps something like ./configure --prefix=/).
Find the qemu-kvm binary on the system and overwrite it with the binary produced in the source tree during compilation.
A backup may help, but then you can always reinstall from packages.
I downloaded html-xml-utils-6.5.tar.gz and started compiling hxselect.c with mingw. I need a makefile, but the package is designed to generate the makefile. The build instructions are in a configure script, config.h.in file and makefile.in.
Is there a mingw-compatible tool to help generate the makefile? I am considering making a linux machine so I can run the configuration to get the generic makefile, and then bring that back for mingw to start chewing on...
Is there an easier way?
Thanks !
Assuming you've downloaded and installed mingw from [1], launch the MinGW Shell
from the start menu and then cd to directory containing the configure script and proceed as you typically do with autotools based projects:
./configure
make
make install
The purpose of MinGW is in fact to make available to Windows a minimalistic GNU environment (meaning shell and other tools) which allow you to work (mostly) as you would in an operating system with a full-fledged GNU userland (such as GNU/Linux). Occasionally it seems that MinGW is used to denote the windows port of the gcc compiler, but it should be empathized that MinGW actually denotes the Windows port of a (minimalistic) GNU environment.

I am trying to use Octave as an external solver in my C/C++ code.
I read here that one needs to include the octave/oct.h header file. However I am not able to find it on my computer. I have searched everywhere including the octave root directory version 3.0.5.
What should I do?
I found it in my Octave 3.2.2 installation in Windows: C:\Octave\3.2.2_gcc-4.3.0\include\octave-3.2.2\octave.
Are you using another operating system? If so, you may need to install the headers separately. For example, Ubuntu 10.10 has a separate octave3.2-headers package.
If you are using Windows and your Octave installation does not have the headers, you could try upgrading to 3.2.2 or greater. I got the Windows installer from Octave-Forge.
For newer versions on Ubuntu, e.g., Octave 3.8.1, the package you must install to get the headers is now called liboctave-dev
The include folder of the Octave 4.0.0 installed on Ubuntu can be found at /usr/include/octave-4.0.0/octave.
