In my mxe build tree dating back from March 2014
there's an
octave.mk <http://octave.mk>
patch
meant to enable inclusion of the docs. Just
today that still worked with
today's tip.
I have a brand new mxe clone as well (from
yesterday July 6) but haven't
looked if that patch is still there.
BTW you miss a flag on the make nsis-installer
line:
JOBS=<n> where <n> =
nr. of CPU cores + a few. Will save you a lot of
time.
Philip
Thank you
Philip!
+ John D of course....
Before I forget:
autoconf + possibly configure in mxe-octave is only
required once. Any subsequent Octave build only needs
make nsis-installler JOBS=<n>
There are two
octave patches is src/ (one for
/doc/interpreter/Makefile.in and the second for
/libgnu/unistd.in.h).
Should I keep them all?
Recent clone? I suppose so then. If these patch
files do not give rise to build errors they're OK.
And thank you
for JOBS, will certainly use it from now on.
Just a noob q. Why "+ a few"?
Another noob here :-) I just add a few to be sure
the CPU is always fully loaded.
Good luck!
Philip
John D, Philip,
thank you both of course. But unfortunately I'm going
on..
I've tried to cross-compile w/o "--disable-docs" and
it has crashed. Below is the log-message:

I've tried to compile it with and w/o
"octave-1-docinstall.patch" (BTW, should it be renamed
to "octave-2-docinstall.patch" since there's
"octave-1-fixes.patch" in src/ ?) and all the time it
crashes when making install-html in liboctave..
I
tried with 4.1.0 that I checked out yesterday:
[build]$
hg summary
parent:
18900:49961d67e4b9 tip
Add
new matrix functions (isdiag, isbanded, istril, istriu)
(bug #42688).
branch:
default
bookmarks:
@
commit:
7793 unknown (clean)
update:
(current)
It
compiled ok in mxe-octave for me, with the existing
patches for octave and not using –disable-docs.
Looking
in the tarball for 4.1.0+, I have a
octave-4.1.0+/doc/liboctave/liboctave.html directory
Hm.. I
have this directory in my tarball as well, but it
is empty. Do you use some special configure and/or make
options when making your tarballs?
From
my build directory, I run just make dist.
When
swapping between branches, I have had some issues in the
past where I guess it gets confused with old files
Create
a new build directory for the branch, run bootstrap and
configure
