It does build and pass make check, but not quite out of the box. The new version of the CC compiler (7.5?) is apparently mostly compliant, so I won't even need to fake cmath, etc.Paul reports that he is also close to being able to build Octave on SGI systems with the SGI compiler, at least after creating some header files to wrap the C headers for C++.
We haven't got it yet.
Daily builds seem a little excessive. Maybe weekly? It would also be nice if you could triggerThe main problem I see with the tinderbox idea is that we need to have some poeple donate cycles. We don't need anything fast, but we do need some variety. Currently, I can only offer to set up testing on Debian x86 and Alpha systems, and perhaps a Sun system (though the hardware is not mine, so I'm not sure I will be able to get away with running compile jobs 24/7 on the machines I have access to). So is there any interest in helping to set somethign like this up and make it work?
it yourself when you want to release a new version.It might also be nice if 3rd party packages could build and test. Currently that's octave-forge, but I can see there may be others in the future, once we've got a Comprehensive Octave Archive Network up and running. One problem with octave-forge stuff is that it may depend on libraries such as qhull which may or may not be present. Testing octave-forge/main/parallel
will be even more of a challenge. :-)For those of us behind firewalls, it will have to be a pull system. E.g., a cron job which checks every 6 hours if the version mentioned in http://www.octave.org/buildcheck is newer than the last version built on your machine. If so, then download, configure, make, make check and post a reply form to http://www.octave.org/buildresults. This sounds easy enough to do, but I don't
have the php skills to do it. Paul Kienzle address@hidden
