[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30721] Can't build tip on FreeBSD

[forkandwait]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #30721 (project octave):

Well, one problem was that I aclocal was still 1.10 since I had not symlinked
it.  I am now running automake-1.11 and aclocal-1.11 per the --version switch
at the command line.  And I got configure to work...  

... But make craps out with a lot of 

"Makefile, line 1993: Need an operator"

gmake (v3.81) got farther, but stops with 

In file included from sysdir.h:34,
                 from dir-ops.cc:34:
../libgnu/dirent.h:380: error: '::dirfd' has not been declared
gmake[3]: *** [liboctave_la-dir-ops.lo] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/wsprague/SOURCES/octave/liboctave'
gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/wsprague/SOURCES/octave/liboctave'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/wsprague/SOURCES/octave'

I have to go to work, so I will report later with more logs.

Once (if?) we get it to work, I am hoping I can send a patch for a
"INSTALL.freebsd" documentation file.  Thoughts?

Note (just a reminder) that configure has to be called with the blas and
lapack library locations at the command line, which means that a lot of other
libraries (sparse, etc) don't get linked.  I don't think this is the root of
the problem, but I wanted to mention it again.
