I have been building (or trying to build) octave on OSX for some time
now. It didn't work, then I fixed a few things and it did for a couple
of weeks, now it won't build again. Surely I am doing something wrong.
I can't understand how the build process can be so fragile. There also
don't seem to be clear instructions on how to build, and from what I've
read in the archives its far from autogen->configure->make.
Is there a reliable way to get things built? Do any of the developers
work on OSX, or is there a procedure that SHOULD result in a successful
build? How do I get to the current stable code (I'm assuming the HEAD
is the "testing/devepment" code).
I apologize in advance for my ignorance,
