I am attempting a build of the octave-2.1.73 package with the experimental gcc 3.4.4-2 compiler release. Part of the octave configure script checks whether linking from C to fortran libraries works; and this test is failing. A partial output is shown: --snip checking for Fortran libraries of g77... -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../.. -lm -lfrtbegin -lg2c -lcygwin -user32 -lkernel32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 checking for dummy main to link with Fortran libraries... unknown configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails See `config.log' for more details. --snip config.log does not contain any error information I can see.
Any clues on what the issue might be would be appreciated. I'm not sure whether the configuration test is broken, or whether there is a real problem with g77 on this compiler release. Thanks, Jim Phillips PS octave on cygwin is currently compiled with gcc-3.3.3, due to a bug in string handling in g++-3.4.4-1. The new 3.4.4-2 release is designed to fix that. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
