Just an FYI, I've been seeing the occasional segfault during the
production
of the documentation.
GEN doc/interpreter/interpft.pdf
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
octave exited with signal 11
GEN doc/interpreter/interpn.pdf
The actual file that causes the problem varies, but I'm pretty sure
it is
always a pdf. It seems to have started in the last week or so.
I have noticed those too...
You've run without the -jX option of make? The make process can be deceiving when there is an error and -j8 option.
Anyway, I suspect this is a figure generation problem. The file interpft.pdf is a figure, not a bigger document. That pdf-print is using Mesa on your system? (I.e., first creates an EPS file that is used to create the PDF file? On my system the EPS is just prior to the PDF:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14496 Dec 29 18:16 interpft.eps
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5686 Dec 29 18:17 interpft.pdf
so I'm guessing that's how it works.) This looks like the long-standing occasional-crash-during-print issue of yester-year.
I noticed recently when reviewing this bug report:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52781#comment3
that rescaling of the Qt and FLTK windows (i.e., drag the lower-right corner around via mouse) looks very poor, flashing between white and black backgrounds. It's supposed to be white background all the time, but I'm recalling that flashing black background a trait similar to the bug I noted above--just a vague memory at this point. How does the rescaling of Qt and FLTK figures look for you?
