[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44028] failure in building mxe octave with default-octave

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #44028 (project octave):

The problem is that the build process is trying to re-create the
documentation, because it can see that you have changed a file that contains
documentation strings.

This isn't going to work because it needs to run Octave to create parts of the
documentation and the build host only has Octave built for the target
(Windows).

I think what you want to do is clone the Mercurial repo for Octave (not
MXE-Octave) and create a distribution tarball (make dist).  Copy this
distribution tarball into MXE-Octave's pkg directory.  And then proceed
normally.

To create the tarball:


hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
cd octave
./bootstrap
./configure --any-options-you-like
make
make dist
