I've not tried building Octave on Solaris in years. I spent over a week trying to deal with munged autotools files before giving up. I had no problem building R. But I got caught between the Octave and AutoTools people pointing fingers at each other. So far as I know, the only version of Octave compilable on Solaris is *really* old. I just run Windows or Linux if I want to use Octave.
The basic problem is that they hide all the compile and link commands behind "Gnu magic". I'll have a go at it the next time I have Hipster up. It would be really nice if they had fixed it, but I'm not hopeful. They did not even list Solaris as a possible OS when I filed a bug report last time. I'm afraid I wasn't very pleasant about it. ------------------------------------------ illumos-discuss Archives: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/discussions/Ta7fdd92083b991d1-M360e00c188d09ac38cd54d30 Powered by Topicbox: https://topicbox.com
