| − | ==Pre-requisites==
| |
| − | Setup your system the same way as described on the page [[Octave for Debian systems]]. The next step, required to generate the documentation, is to tweak a bit the texlive configuration file: (remember cygwin has no sudo command)
| |
| − | | |
| − | vi /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Change
| |
| − |
| |
| − | TEXMFLOCAL = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-site
| |
| − | | |
| − | into
| |
| − | | |
| − | TEXMFLOCAL = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-site:$TEXMFROOT/texmf
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then run
| |
| − | | |
| − | mktexlsr
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Configure==
| |
| − | Proceed the same way as on a Unix platform. In this case, the procedure requires a kind of bootstrapping, so it is better to put Octave outside the main directory tree; like f.i.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ./bootstrap
| |
| − | mkdir compile; cd compile
| |
| − | ../configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr
| |
| − | | |
| − | This configuration supposes ${HOME}/usr/bin exists and is in your $PATH.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Build==
| |
| − | The procedure is a bit more tricky. Start the build as usual:
| |
| − | | |
| − | make -j 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | It will fail after a looong time, while trying to launch ./run-octave. This is a well-known problem, partly caused by issues with the fork() call under Windows platforms. At this time, change run-octave to something simpler:
| |
| − | | |
| − | #! /bin/sh
| |
| − | octave_executable="${PREFIX}/usr/bin/octave"
| |
| − | "$octave_executable" "$@"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Where ${PREFIX} matches the form previously used during the configure stage. In fact, we will use the new Octave, which is not yet operationnal. But never mind. Restart the process as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | make install
| |
| − | | |
| − | This way:
| |
| − | # The Octave libs and binaries have been generated, they will be copied into their final destination directory.
| |
| − | # the doc has still to be built. With the modified "run-octave", the executable which will be called is the version just installed during the previous step. Now the doc generation will succeed, and so will its installation.
