Re: 3.0.1 release? (Reports on mingw build)

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello John

This time I'll report on mingw build.

1. The  C++ source in liboctave,  lo-sysdep.cc should be patched for win32 
native octave
(For cygwin it is not required.)


*** lo-sysdep.org.cc    Thu Apr  3 03:43:36 2008
--- lo-sysdep.cc        Thu Apr  3 08:55:24 2008
***************
*** 39,44 ****
--- 39,48 ----
  #include <fcntl.h>
  #endif
  
+ #if defined (__WIN32__) && ! defined (__CYGWIN__)
+ #include <windows.h>
+ #endif
+ 
  #include "file-ops.h"
  #include "lo-error.h"
  #include "pathlen.h"



2. make check test is the same I reported on octave-3.0.0 previously.

http://www.nabble.com/fntests-errors-on-mingw-Octave-1%3Adispatch.cc-to14574608.html#a14582630

  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octave-3.0.1a\src/DLD-FUNCTIONS\dispatch.cc  
PASS   11/13   FAIL 2
  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octave-3.0.1a\src/DLD-FUNCTIONS\rand.cc  PASS  
 56/57   FAIL 1
  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octave-3.0.1a\src\ov-fcn-handle.cc  PASS    
2/3    FAIL 1
  d:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octave-3.0.1a\scripts/general\bitcmp.m  PASS   
14/15   FAIL 1
  test_system.m .......................................... PASS  112/126  FAIL 
14

Summary:

  PASS   3813
  FAIL     19

 test_io.m hanged up during the test. 
 The above all were the same as those at 3.0.0.

So no new errors appeared on 3.0.1.
I think you are OK go forward 

There were commom failtures between the mingw and msvc and intrinsic failuers 
also exist.
However Michael is on the vacation now.
I'll wait he will come back here for the fntest.m for the mingw and msvc.

Regards 

Tatsuro
