octave-2.0.13 compile problems

[mhagger]

Hi,

I've recently tried to compile octave-2.0.13 on our Pentium Pro system,
(running Redhat5.1) using the latest egcs snapshots (and more recently
still the egcs-1.1 pre-release).

I've been having a few compile problems that have got me a bit baffled.

Has anyone else managed to get egcs 2.91.55 or so to compile octave-2.0.13
successfully?

The problems are:

1) 
c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall data.cc
In file included from ov.h:43,
                 from variables.h:38,
                 from defun-int.h:26,
                 from defun.h:30,
                 from data.cc:43:
pt-exp.h:257: default argument missing for parameter 3 of 
`tree_boolean_expression::tree_boolean_expression(int = -1, int = -1, enum 
tree_boolean_expression::type)'


This is easily fixed by adding '= unknown' to the end of line 257 in pt-exp.h

2) 
c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall 
dynamic-ld.cc
In file included from pt-fvc-base.h:43,
                 from pt-fvc.h:43,
                 from dynamic-ld.cc:70:
pt-mvr-base.h:45: default argument missing for parameter 3 of 
`tree_multi_val_ret::tree_multi_val_ret(int = -1, int = -1, enum 
tree_expression::type)'
make: *** [dynamic-ld.o] Error 1


Again this can be fixed by adding the default '= unknown' to the line

3)
c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall 
dynamic-ld.cc
pt-fvc-base.h: In method `tree_fvc::tree_fvc(int = -1, int = -1)':
In file included from pt-fvc.h:43,
                 from dynamic-ld.cc:70:
pt-fvc-base.h:53: call of overloaded `tree_multi_val_ret(int &, int &)' is 
ambiguous
pt-mvr-base.h:42: candidates are: tree_multi_val_ret::tree_multi_val_ret(int, 
int)
pt-mvr-base.h:45:                 tree_multi_val_ret::tree_multi_val_ret(int, 
int, tree_expression::type)
make: *** [dynamic-ld.o] Error 1


This one has got me baffled though, I can't even see why it could be ambiguous
to be honest.

Can anyone out there help?
 

Mark
