[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48352] dev octave build failure in mxe-octave

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48352 (project octave):

Issue confirmed, and confirmed that the patch works.

However I now get other issues on the Windows side:

- colormap errors and deprecated PKG_ADD messages during postprocessing the
installation on Windows. That phase takes a looong time now (the cmd32 window
is empty for a minute or so, then prints these messages and a few seconds
after that closes).

- The GUI won't start; I have to kill the octave-gui process through Task
manager

The CLI does start but with errors:

warning: no graphical display found
error: __makeinfo__: could not create temporary file
error: execution exception in
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+w64_20160630\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\deprecated\PKG_ADD
error: __makeinfo__: could not create temporary file
error: execution exception in
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+w64_20160630\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\image\PKG_ADD
GNU Octave, version 4.1.0+

and the help system doesn't work:

>> help fwrite
error: __makeinfo__: could not create temporary file
error: called from
    __makeinfo__ at line 122 column 7


... although maybe ,aybe that could be related to the trick Lachlan showed in
bug #48172 (see comment #44 there) to build dev Octave on Linux.
An earlier build using that trick did have a functional help system (and its
GUI started up fine).
