Re: Octave 3.6.0-rc1 release candidate available for ftp

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have built  octave-3.6.0-rc1 on MinGW (GCC-4.6.2).

make check results is the same as 3.5.92 and 3.6.0-rc0
**********************
Summary:

  PASS  10126
  FAIL      3
**********************

I have forgotten to report build error on the document(?)

/bin/sh /home/octaves/octavesrc/octave-3.6.0-rc1/build-aux/missing --run 
makeinfo -D AUTHORSONLY \
          --no-validate --no-headers --no-split --output AUTHORS preface.texi
preface.texi:82: @include `contributors.texi': No such file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `AUTHORS' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
make[3]: [../../AUTHORS] Error 1 (ignored)
mv AUTHORS ../../AUTHORS
mv: cannot stat `AUTHORS': No such file or directory
make[3]: [../../AUTHORS] Error 1 (ignored)

I have been ignored this error by 'make -i'

Other information:

For octave 3.4, we need set LIBS as,  LIBS='-lgfortran -llapack'
However, this flag is no longer required for the octave-3.6.0-rc1.

Regards

Tatsuro
