Followed this process: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3843522/how-do-i-create-a-simple-octave-distributable-without-installing-octave (I did not need the change to file_in_path.m)

• Created embedded.cc and modified it for my particular m file
• Ran embedded.cc to create embedded.exe

mkoctfile --link-stand-alone embedded.cc -o embedded

• Created an executable folder to contain all of the supporting files
• Copied embedded.exe into the folder
• Opened embedded.exe using cmd to start the whackamole process.

• Copied all dll files from C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\bin
• Coped each file that caused the exe to fail
• In several cases, the functions actually produced errors and it was necessary to investigate the code to determine the needed file.
• I got stuck on this error:

• I found this: http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Octave-3-4-2-Mingw-Image-Package-td3837297.html Indicating the need for libgomp-1.dll (did not fix)
• I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20956551/imread-stopped-working-on-octave indicating the need for libpng and libjpeg. (did not fix)
• In desperation, I copied all dlls from C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\mingw\bin and C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\gnuplot\bin
• This fixed the problem.
