Re: Octave 3.5.92 snapshot available for ftp

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have built octave-3.5.92 on the PC in the University (Windows 7 HomePremium, 
GCC-4.6.2)
 1. gnulib namespace for 'isatty' were occurred.
For my PC,this error only occurred at 
 lex.cc,  and sysdep.cc.

 2. In linking eigs.cc, and svd.cc, link flag -larpack does not added while the 
flag was added other DLD-FUNCTION source. Thus link was in failure. 
I avoided this to add '-larpack' to LIB environment variable.

3. Crash on test on profile.m did not occur.

4. A new test FAIL,

Is the above windows specific?
