Re: compile errors making octave-forge-2004-02-12

[David Bateman]

The fact is that octave has been a quickly moving target since the
release of 2.1.51 and thus all of the build problems you see in the
current octave-forge release...... The CVS is pretty much upto date
(in fact I just built it completely against the CVS of octave itself)
with the only real problem I know of is that the function "dispatch"
looses the help strings of overloaded functions, which is an annoyance
rather than a real limitation.

I don't think it'll be long till another octave-forge release, but this
is of course subject to the time availability of those involved in it.
Most of us do this sort of stuff in the free moments between the tasks
of our real jobs.

So build a copy of the CVS of octave-forge, I don't expect you'll see
any problems..

Cheers
David
