Re: 3.0.1 release? (Report on cygwin result)

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have just finished on the cygwin made.
The build was successful.

$ make check
  src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/rand.cc .............................. PASS   56/57   FAIL 1
  test_system.m .......................................... PASS  125/126  FAIL 1

???? Why David's patch was not attached.
Please see:

However this error is a trivial able to be ignored.

*****
case 2
   ***** test
 x = getpwuid (getuid ());
 assert((strcmp (x.dir, tilde_expand ("~"))
 && strcmp (x.dir, tilde_expand (sprintf ("~%s", x.name)))
 && strcmp ("foobar", tilde_expand ("foobar"))));
!!!!! test failed
error: assert ((strcmp (x.dir, tilde_expand ("~")) && strcmp (x.dir, 
tilde_expand (sprintf ("~%s",
x.name))) && strcmp ("foobar", tilde_expand ("foobar")))) failed

octave:1> x = getpwuid (getuid ());
octave:2> x = getpwuid (getuid ()) 
x =
{
  name = Tatsu
  passwd = unused_by_nt/2000/xp
  uid =  1005
  gid =  513
  gecos = U-SHIRO\Tatsu,S-1-5-21-1576462213-590260106-813958858-1005
  dir = /home/Tatsu
  shell = /bin/bash
}

octave:3> tilde_expand ("~")
ans = /home
octave:4> tilde_expand ("foobar")
ans = foobar

Perhaps this seems to be a cygwin specific problem.
However this is a not so serious problem in practice.

So there are no essential problem for the cygwin build.

I have also finished the mingw build.
It will be rather comlicated than that of cygwin.

I will report them later.
