Report on my first 4.0.0 build on Ubuntu 14.10 32 bits

[Julien Bect]

Hello all,

I just tried building from the 4.0.0 release (actually, two commits after the 4.0.0 tag on the stable branch).

Ubuntu 14.10 / 32 bits / gcc 4.9.1

./configure # without any option


My first attempt results in a crash as usual due to OSMesa / NVIDIA (bug report #44478).

The LD_EXPORT described in the bug report allows me to avoid the crash but then I get a "libGL error" from libGL.so

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

during libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst (but the tests pass anyway).


My second attempt (with the LD_EXPORT trick) gives:

  PASS     12954
  FAIL         1
  XFAIL       14
  SKIPPED     62


The failed test is in ov-java.cc:

>>>>> processing /usr/local/src/octave/4.0.0+/libinterp/octave-value/ov-java.cc-tst
***** testif HAVE_JAVA
 assert (javaMethod ("binarySearch", "java.util.Arrays", [90 100 255], 255), 2);
 assert (javaMethod ("binarySearch", "java.util.Arrays", uint8 ([90 100 255]), uint8 (255)) < 0);
 assert (javaMethod ("binarySearch", "java.util.Arrays", uint8 ([90 100 128]), uint8 (128)) < 0);
 assert (javaMethod ("binarySearch", "java.util.Arrays", uint8 ([90 100 127]), uint8 (127)), 2);
 assert (javaMethod ("binarySearch", "java.util.Arrays", uint16 ([90 100 128]), uint16 (128)), 2);
