[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47494] mxe-octave: OF mapping package shadows rad2deg & deg2rad in dev octave

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #47494 (project octave):

Another fix I'm inclined to apply is to simply drop deg2rad and rad2deg
completely from the mapping package. JuanPi did the same for the geometry
package.
After all, Octave-4.0+ is outdated now and in mxe-octave, stable-octave is
4.2.+

In that case also the autotools / bootstrap / configure stuff in of-mapping
that is needed for merely those 2 files can be dropped. If I (as mapping pkg
maintainer) go that route, some changes are needed for the module(s) depending
on gdal. For the latter Carnë also implemented a neat trick to gracefully
inform users if the gdal dependency is missing. But (again like JuanPi) I'd
rather let users be confronted with the error messages related to the missing
dependency.
