Re: Octave 3.4.2-rc2 release candidate available for ftp

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I added 
export LIBS='-lgfortran -llapack'
before configure.

Build itself were in successful.

Test results
*******************************************
Integrated test scripts:

  
e:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\octaves\octavesrc\octave-3.4.2-rc2\octave-3.4.2-rc2\src\data.cc
  PASS  620/622  FAIL 2

  PASS    6/7    FAIL 1

Fixed test scripts:

  test_string.m .......................................... PASS   78/79   FAIL 1

Summary:

  PASS   5360
  FAIL      5　
******************************************************

Failure in data.cc and test_string.m has been known for MinGW build.
However, failure in pr-output.cc is not known as far as I remember.

If the failure in pr-output.cc test is not serious, 3.4.2-rc2 is OK for MinGW, 
I think.
