Re: Octave 2.9.18 available for ftp

[Michael Goffioul]

I just updated the CVS a couple a minutes ago (the octave version is
still 2.9.18) and noticed I can't build the doc anymore: interpimages
cannot create text version of plots. It fails with error:

Paramètre non valide - 'txt:interpft.txt'
error: print: could not convert
error: evaluating if command near line 385, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 381, column 3
error: called from `print' in file
`C:\Software\VCLibs\local\octave-vc8-debug\share\octave\2.9.18\m\plot\print.m'
error: evaluating if command near line 24, column 3
error: called from `interpimages' in file
`C:\Sources\playground\c\octave-cvs\doc\interpreter\interpimages.m'

Basically, "interpimages" calls "print" with -dtxt argument and "print"
tries to call "convert", because txt is not a know device. "convert" is
not available, then the build fails.
