Re: [OctDev] Instruction of install image-1.0.8 for octave 3.0.5 for windows (MinGW) (was part of Re: Octave 3.0.5 mingw32 available)

[nit_ar]

Hello Tatsuro, Benjamin and other octave maintainers

Thank you very much for your support.

I have followed Tatsuro's instructions and could install the modified
image-1.0.8 package, however I could do this only when octave 3.0.5
mingw is installed in a directory of which name has no whitespace !

When I have tried to install the patched package in the original
installation directory (C:\Program Files\Octave\..) the shell call in
pkg:configure_make (line 1233) fails and exits with the following status
and output:

debug> status
status = 127
debug> output
output = checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no

while the shell call input string is:

cd 'c:\tmp\image-1.0.8\src'; ./configure --prefix="C:\Program
Files\OctaveMingw\3.0.5_gcc-4.3.0\share\octave\packages\image-1.0.8"
CC="mingw32-gcc-4.3.0-dw2" CXX="mingw32-g++-4.3.0-dw2" AR="ar"
RANLIB="ranlib" LDFLAGS=-L"C:\Program
Files\OctaveMingw\3.0.5_gcc-4.3.0\lib" CPPFLAGS=-I"C:\Program
Files\OctaveMingw\3.0.5_gcc-4.3.0\include"

May be you can use this information to debug the shell call.

Best Regards
Nitzan
