Follow-up Comment #16, bug #51632 (project octave): comment on the maintainers list mentioned that the code would throw an error every time Octave started if it was on a system where the user didn't have write access to the normal global_list location. Suggested using a try/catch to hide the error. if (exist(pkg("global_list"),"file") == 0) try pkg rebuild; catch end_try_catch endif or the ultracompact 1 line version: if (exist(pkg("global_list"),"file") == 0), try, pkg rebuild, catch, end_try_catch, endif looks like this could just be added to the octaverc sitting in mxe-octave. But that would force this change on everyone to fix a problem only occurring in the Windows zip-distribution. Maybe a line could be added to the binary-dist-rules.mk file to append that line(s) to the octaverc file prior to zipping? Or maybe there's a better way to accomplish that? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51632> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
