The following are abridged instructiongs from etc/HACKING. | |||
After cloning Octave, you will need to run the bootstrap script: | |||
$ ./bootstrap | |||
Running this script will result in the createion of the configure script. | |||
The bootstrap script comes from gnulib, but is kept in the Octave source archive. | |||
It should be updated from the gnulib sources as necessary. | |||
If you have a copy of gnulib in some directory apart from the Octave | |||
source tree, then pass the name of the directory containing gnulib-tool | |||
to the bootstrap script using the option: | |||
--gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME | |||
Additional options besides --gnulib-srcdir can be passed to bootstrap and | |||
they will be forwarded without modification to the gnulib bootstrap script. | |||
Once the bootstrap script completes successfully, you may configure and | |||
build Octave. | |||
