--- tmacchant--- hg_codeHello, I am trying to build an Octave Windows installer (or zip-dist) for the first time (for helping with bug #45610). I use an Ubuntu 14.04 linux system. But I got stuck during the build process, could someone give me a hint how to proceed? Here is what I did so far: * I have installed all the prerequisites packages for mxe-octave, as listed for Debian systems in http://wiki.octave.org/Windows_Installer * I cloned the mxe-octave repo * I copied a small patch file (for bug #45610) into my local repository, as mxe-octave-repo/src/stable-octave-1-patchname.patch * in a command shell I changed to my local repository of mxe-octave and typed the following commands: * export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java * autoconf * ./configure * make zip-dist Then the mxe-octave compilation procedure runs for some hours. Eventually it stops and says something like "unable to download package src-msys-bash". When I have a look at the (attached) log file, then I see that mxe-octave tried to download "bash-3.1.17-4-msys-1.0.13-src.tar.lzma" from three different servers. I have tried all three web adresses directly with my web browser, and they all return something like "404 - file not found". Am I doing something wrong? How can I go on? I would be thankful for a helpful hint. Thanks HartmutPerhaps JohnD will make full reply the above. But I noticed that file name is not correct. On MinGW+msys site, the corresponding file name is bash-3.1.17-4-msys-1.0.16-src.tar.lzma but not bash-3.1.17-4-msys-1.0.13-src.tar.lzma on http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/bash/bash-3.1.17-4/. perhaps this is an origin of the error. Unfortunately I am writing from my smart phone I cannot help you further now. TatsuroOr bash-3.1.17-3-msys-1.0.13-src.tar.lzma might be correct. Tatsuro
I just tried a search for that file. I see that the latest version of bash is stored on Sourceforge, and I guess Tatsuro indicated that above. If the older versions of bash are stored there (can you see the path when building?), it's probably that parts of Sourceforge have been offline for a week or so. In the mean time, maybe you can find it on the WWW or perhaps someone has a local copy for which you could point to on your system.
