Everyone,
We will soon be in a position to start building release candidates
and getting feedback on Octave 3.8. But, we don't need to go to
users with an RC1 when we already know there are bugs in the build
process. I have culled the list of "Configuration and Build System"
bugs from savannah and put them on the 3.8 Bug Fix List
(http://wiki.octave.org/3.8_Bug_Fix_List#Bugs_marked_Configuration_and_Build_System).
And to be thorough, here they are:
- Owner: ??? #40358 Octave
Java classes missing on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04
- Owner: ??? #40356 Please
ship an AppData file upstream
- Owner: ??? #40321 MXE /
MinGW - mkoctfile fails (& doesn't pick up compile flags)
- Owner: ??? #40273 'sed'
is used even if a different value for 'SED' is specified during
configure
- Owner: ??? #40252 Make
GUI compatible with both Qt4 and Qt5
- Owner: ??? #40111 Support
runtime selection of Java version on Linux and Unix systems
- Owner: ??? #39856 Cannot
compile an Oct-File in Windows 7 64 or Vista 64 oct file
- Owner: ??? #39465
configure needs jvm.dll for Windows builds
- Owner: ??? #39454 Fix
building core Java support for MinGW builds
- Owner: ??? #39446
MXE-Octave: LAPACK build mixes MinGW and MSVC
- Owner: ??? #38928
confugure -> hdf5 doesn't handle path through
- Owner: ??? #38776 Tests
in private functions cannot be tested directly
- Owner: ??? #38351
mkoctfile -p returns wrong flags on mingw.
- Owner: ??? #36477 use XDG
dirs instead of HOME
- Owner: ??? #36064
MAGICK_X extra flags are shadowed by system CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
- Owner: ??? #35207 add
gl2ps to the configure script
- Owner: ??? #34301 Can't
compile oct files using gcc -fvisibility=hidden option
- Owner: ??? #34169 Support
-f compiler flags in mkoctfile
We don't need to fix every one just now, but I think it would be a
good idea to knock off half of them before we start in with the
release candidate cycle.
Cheers,
Rik
