[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47617] mxe-octave: instrument-control package not installed correctly in official release

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #47617 (project octave):

IIRC, someone else had a build of 4.0.1 that did include instrument-control
correctly cross-built. So I don't know the reason why the official installer
image built by jwe didn't include the .oct files from instrument-control.

My hope was that someone would be able to figure out how this is possible, I
would have thought a build failure would be thrown somewhere if it didn't
build and/or install all the packages successfully. I'm thinking it's a bug in
the mxe-octave build process itself that such a thing could happen (and might
happen again).

Both the 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 installers built by jwe are missing the .oct files
for the instrument-control package. The .m files are present. The 4.0.3
installer does contain the .oct files. So this is "fixed" in that sense. But
still unfixed IMHO because I haven't seen an explanation for how it was
possible to build an installer with only a partially built package, or why it
worked for 4.0.3.
