Re: [cygwin] Compile success, except for doc

Hello,

having installed the gl2ps package (thanks Marco), octave stable with GUI
compile up to the point where doc is generated, the script 'run-octave'
failing. The executable is built and can be installed; generating
graphics
files from plots is working.

I did a './run-octave -strace' to try to debug the problem, I was not
able
to find the issue from the 'octave.trace' file. Can someone have a
look at
it to try to understand the issue

Hi Pascal,
I suggest you to not build the documention

so configure with "--disable-docs"

There are at least two cygwin issues that make building the
doc very tricky:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00456.html
and
http://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures

they are cygwin specific pains and no simple workaround

Regards
Marco

It isn't just cygwin that is having problems.  Here's from a fresh build on a linux machine:

(octave/octave/build-gui-14/doc/interpreter/plot.texi
Chapter 15 [260]
(plot.eps
octave/octave/build-gui-14/doc/interpreter/plot.texi:98: Could n
ot open file plot.eps, ignoring it.
@epsfgetbb ...Could not open file #1, ignoring it}
                                                  @else address@hidden @other = 1...

@next #1->@epsfgetbb {#1}
                        address@hidden {#1}
@imagexxx ...ysize address@hidden @fi @epsfbox {#1.eps}
                                                  @fi @ifimagevmode @medskip...

@image ...true @fi @else @imagexxx #1,,,,,@finish
                                                  @fi
<argument> @hfil @ignorespaces @image {plot,4in}
                                                @unskip @hfil
@next #1->@line address@hidden @leftskip #1
                                  address@hidden @rightskip }
l.98 @center @image{plot,4in}

?

Documentation hasn't built right from around the time that FLTK became the default graphics engine, or at least that is my recollection.  The good thing is that it's just missing figures so one can just hold down the Enter key.

Though the plots look messed up (black squares)

(I am not thrilled with the fonts used in the plots, but that is the minor issue.)
