[Octave-task-tracker] [task #13313] MingW issues for Octave built w --enable-64

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, task #13313 (project octave):

I suppose people would want 64-bit Octave with 64-bit indexing. Isn't that the
point of 64-bit?

Didn't you get FAILs in eig.cc-tst before you checked in that cs? (I'm
referring to the last 4 input validation tests in eigs.cc-tst.) I got those
consistently with --enable-64.
Indeed eigs.cc tests pass fine on Octave built for Linux (Mageia-4 64 bit).
I suppose a compiler bug cannot be ruled out. I got those FAILs also before
gcc in MXE was upgraded to 4.9.0. But indeed - maybe those tests are too lax
and simply don't trigger on Linux. I'd expect (= hope for) identical behavior
on Linux and Windows.


OT: What is the reason that Ghostcript isn't built for 64-bit Octave? didn't
it get built properly with mingw-64?
