cygwin Octave, version 3.1.53+ - report

[Marco Atzeri]

Dear All,
I finally succeeded to build on cygwin-1.7 
from latest hg source 

Summary:

  PASS   6502
  FAIL      7

not so bad :-)
All the fails are on "data.cc"

Almost all included except ftgl

  GLPK libraries:       -lglpk
  UMFPACK libraries:    -lumfpack
  AMD libraries:        -lamd
  CAMD libraries:       -lcamd
  COLAMD libraries:     -lcolamd
  CCOLAMD libraries:    -lccolamd
  CHOLMOD libraries:    -lcholmod
  CXSPARSE libraries:   -lcxsparse
  ARPACK libraries:     -larpack
  QRUPDATE libraries:   -lqrupdate
  HDF5 libraries:       -lhdf5
  CURL libraries:       -lcurl
  REGEX libraries:      -L/usr/lib -lpcre
  QHULL libraries:      -lqhull
  OPENGL libraries:     -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lGLU
  FLTK backend libs:    -mwindows -lfltk_gl -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lfltk -lole32 
-luuid -lcom
ctl32 -lwsock32
  X11 include flags:    
  X11 libraries:        -lX11
  CARBON libraries:     
  LIBS:                 -lreadline  -lncurses -ldl -lwsock32 -lblas -lhdf5 -lz 
-lm  -L/usr
/X11R6/lib -lGL -lGLU -lfreetype -lz -lwsock32
  Default pager:        less
  gnuplot:              gnuplot
  Magick config:        GraphicsMagick++-config

I discovered that GraphicsMagick need to be upgraded
to have a successful build.
(next to be adopted and released on cygwin-1.7)
GraphicsMagick                 1.3.5-1
libGraphicsMagick-devel        1.3.5-1
libGraphicsMagick3             1.3.5-1

same for 
libqrupdate-1.0-1.tar.bz2
libqrupdate-devel-1.0-1.tar.bz2
libarpack-devel-96-1.tar.bz2
libarpack_0-96-1.tar.bz2

that currently miss in cygwin
:-)

Few small changes, cygwin specific, that I will send later.

I was also obliged to add -lX11 to LIBS as 
display.cc seems to need it for liboctinterp.
 
But, I have still some issues on documentation:

hg source lacks *eps and *png 
in doc/interpreter, am I missing something to pull them ?

There are specific requirement for Tex ?
octave.texi is the only giving me problems.

make[3]: Entering directory `/pub/hg/local_build/doc/interpreter'
makeinfo -I.. -I../../../octave_local/doc/interpreter -I../../../octave_local/do
c/interpreter/.. ../../../octave_local/doc/interpreter/octave.texi
../../../octave_local/doc/interpreter/octave.texi:621: @include `package.texi': 
No such file or directory.

Currently on cygwin we have:

tetex-base                     3.0.0-3
tetex-bin                      3.0.0-3
tetex-extra                    3.0.0-3
tetex-tiny                     3.0.0-3
tetex-x11                      3.0.0-3
texinfo                        4.8a-1
 
It's a different Tex version expected ?
