But the help is broken here because the macros.texi file is not copied where it should by make install : the directory share/octave/3.8.0/etc/ only contains CITATION, NEWS and test/ Let me know if more details are needed for debugging this. Best, JFCHi, I don't see this behaviour with Octave 3.8.0 on OSX 10.9.1: ls /usr/local/octave/3.8.0/share/octave/3.8.0/etc/ CITATION built-in-docstrings doc-cache tests NEWS default-qt-settings macros.texi
Hmmm. Note that the help works when I test the build ./run-octave so the texi file is the build tree at the right place, but is not properly copied in the install directory during the install. The relevant message at install time is: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 NEWS CITATION '/Users/mylogin/octave/octave-3.8.0/share/octave/3.8.0/etc' and indeed the octetc_DATA variable in the Makefile is defined as octetc_DATA = \ NEWS \ CITATION and apparently left at that. Could the problem be an unintended side effect of passing the switch --disable-docs to configure ? Best, JF
