= Continuous Deployment of Octave for Windows = | |||
== Freshly brewed Octave == | |||
Unreleased versions of Octave for Windows are available from [https://buildbot.octave.space/#/download octave.space]. These are installers built with MXE Octave very similarly how the "official" Octave for Windows is built. They can be installed just like the "official" versions of Octave for Windows. | |||
Available variants include versions built from the release branch of MXE Octave built for Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit (with 32-bit or 64-bit Fortran indexing size). Additionally, one variant is built from the default branch of MXE Octave (more up-to-date dependencies). | |||
All of these versions are built from the stable branch of Octave. That means they contain changes that are likely to be included in the next minor release of Octave. | |||
Unreleased versions might be more unstable than released versions. But they might also contain fixes for bugs that haven't been released yet. | |||
== GitHub build artifacts == | |||
Build artifacts are available for versions of Octave for MINGW64 from the CI running on the mirror of Octave on GitHub. These artefacts can be downloaded from the bottom of the [https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave/actions workflow logs] for builds from the default branch of Octave. After downloading the build artifact, extract the <code>.zip</code> file to an empty folder (e.g., <code>C:\Octave\test</code>). | |||
The default branch of Octave contains changes that are likely to be included in the next major release of Octave. Some functionality of Octave on the default branch might be broken. But it will likely contain new features that aren't yet included in the newest released version of Octave. | |||
These artifacts are built with MSYS2. So, MSYS2 must be installed to be able to run the artifact. MSYS2 can be downloaded from their [https://www.msys2.org/ website]. | |||
After installing MSYS2, open a MINGW64 shell (the blue icon), update MSYS2 and install the necessary dependencies with (the second command must be executed in one single line): | |||
pacman -Syu | |||
pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libgfortran mingw-w64-x86_64-arpack mingw-w64-x86_64-curl mingw-w64-x86_64-fftw mingw-w64-x86_64-fltk mingw-w64-x86_64-ghostscript mingw-w64-x86_64-gl2ps mingw-w64-x86_64-glpk mingw-w64-x86_64-gnuplot mingw-w64-x86_64-graphicsmagick mingw-w64-x86_64-hdf5 mingw-w64-x86_64-libsndfile mingw-w64-x86_64-portaudio mingw-w64-x86_64-qhull mingw-w64-x86_64-qrupdate mingw-w64-x86_64-qscintilla mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-tools mingw-w64-x86_64-sundials mingw-w64-x86_64-suitesparse | |||
After that, <code>cd</code> to the directory with the extracted content of the <code>.zip</code> file. (It should be one single file named <code>octave.tar.gz</code>.) For the exemplary folder from above, that would be: | |||
cd /c/Octave/test | |||
Extract the tarball and add the <code>bin</code> directory to the system search PATH: | |||
tar -xvzf octave.tar.gz | |||
export PATH=/c/Octave/test/mingw64/bin:$PATH | |||
After that, it should be possible to start that "nightly" version with the command <code>octave --gui</code> from the same shell. | |||
