Tracking the latest changes

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

When I want to see what the development sources are up to, I run "hg
pull -u" and then "make" to recompile. This often fails because
something changed in the build system, so I often need to reconfigure
and build everything from scratch.

Is there a better way to do this? Does everyone recompile Octave all
the time? What's your workflow like?

Thanks,
