[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47849] Documentation failing to build because of geometryimages.m

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #47849 (project octave):

This thread has had some noise, partly contributed
by me. I just build a system from an entirely clean
start and it builds just fine. The hang that I experienced
must have been due to some leftover stuff in the octave
directory that I used.

The thing to learn from this is that the current build
and install systems are not as robust as would be ideal.
Stuff gets "leftover" which leads to problems.
Some housecleaning would be useful.
Possibly a make clean which really cleans out everything
would help. Even, a make clean_install which removes
ALL or some installed systems?

In any case, closing this thread seems a very good idea.
