RE: Octave 2.1.70 with cygwin

[Carine Simon]

Hi John,

So, I've got Cygwin with gcc 3.3.3-3. I don't know if you need versions of anything else.

Then in octave-2.1.71, I've done a ./configure --enable-shared

And then a make. All the beginning of the make went OK but then, I had that problem that it couldn't find "/home/carine/octave-2.1.71/doc/interpreter/octave.texi" and ask me to type another name. As I've said, in fact this file does exist.

When I stop the make process, it writes the following texput.log file;

-------------------------------------------

This is e-TeX, Version 3.141592-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=etex 2005.5.20)  20 MAY 2005 18:04

entering extended mode

**/home/carine/octave-2.1.71/doc/interpreter/octave.texi

! Emergency stop.

<*> ...e/octave-2.1.71/doc/interpreter/octave.texi

                                                 

End of file on the terminal!

No pages of output.

-----------------------------------------

And then it tells me

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: see octave.log for errors.

Make[3]: *** [octave.dvi] Error 1 (ignored)

Make[2]: *** [interpreter] Interrupt

Make[1]: *** [doc] Interrupt

Make: *** [all] Interrupt

Do you need any more information?

Thanks,

Carine.

Please be more specific about exactly how/when/where this error is

happening.  What have you typed, what is producing the error?

When reporting problems, it is essential that you provide enough

information so that someone can actually diagnose the problem.
