Hi all,
I've cross-built recent development version of Octave for
Windows using
MXE-Octave (also, one of the recent csets) and after some
testing get
into a trouble which I'm not sure caused by Octave itself.
Sometimes
when trying to print a figure to pdf (print('-dpdf',..)) Octave
may hang
on waiting before gs.exe completed writing into a pdf-file. But
as a
matter of fact gs.exe doesn't want to finish and continues
writing into
pdf inflating its size gradually approaching infinity (last time
I
forgot to kill gs.exe process my one-page pdf reached 600Gb).
This bug looks quite similar to GS bug #693591
[http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693591] which was
fixed in
gs9.10. And according to my recent testing, use of separately
installed
gs9.10 instead of default Octave gs.exe helps.
So my questions is rather easy, do you by any chance plan to
switch GS
version in MXE-Octave from 9.07 to 9.10? If not, it might worth
to apply
a patch fixing this bug in GS source
[http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=dfd7fc9fe152245256e437141dd7780c8313c971].
Sorry, if I overlooked existing discussion on this topic.
I think you missed this bug report:

I see... Thank you John. So, if I got it right, the answer is yes,
GS is going to be updated in MXE-Octave, but not earlier than
Octave has got rid of all the 'pswrite' usages. Is that correct?
