Octave 3.2.3/mingw32 available

[Benjamin Lindner]

Hello,

I have uploaded an octave 3.2.3/mingw32 installer.

benjamin

Release Notes:
==============

This is a binary release of Octave 3.2.3 for Windows platform using
mingw32/gcc build tools. It has been tested on Windows 2K and XP.

Octave-3.2.3_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc-4.4.0_setup.exe

This package contains Octave 3.2.3 and a set of octave-forge packages.
Some packages are missing because external dependency libraries have not
been built using mingw32/gcc yet.

This package includes notepad++ as text editor and gnuplot as graphical
engine. It is bundled with the version of GCC used to compile this package
and a MSYS environment to install octave-forge packages.

This package has been built using GCC-4.4.0 from http://www.mingw.org

The installer can be installed side-by-side with previous versions of
octave/mingw32 and thus does not uninstall any previously installed version
of octave/mingw32.


Changes since Octave/mingw32 3.2.2:
-----------------------------------

*) Build with gcc-4.4.0 from http://www.mingw.org
*) Update to gnuplot 4.3.0-2009-07-08 CVS snapshot
*) for gnuplot, add a workaround patch to SF#2848002
*) build gnuplot with support for wxwidgets terminal. To use it, set the
    environment variable GNUTERM to "wxt", e.g. from within octave execute
       putenv("GNUTERM","wxt")
*) Build Graphicsmagick as relocatable dll and remove dependency on
    environment variable defining installation location
*) Update several dependency libraries
*) Add SSE/SSE2-enabled fftw3 library
*) add the fixed-0.7.10 octave forge package to installer

Fixed Issues in 3.2.3:
----------------------

*) Printing to pdf no longer yields spurious empty pages using gnuplot
*) Pressing CTRL-C within octave should no longer crash gnuplot
*) the command "clear all" no longer segfaults after calling eigs()

Known Issues with octave/mingw32 3.2.3:
--------------------------------------

*) The command "clear all" results in a segfault.
    This is currently triggered by the following octave-forge packages:
       windows
       octcdf
       communications
       ga (depends on communications)

    The error occurs only if any of these packages is marked "-auto"
    i.e. is loaded at startup.

*) Installing octave respectively running octave from a path which contains
    spaces breaks the installation of octave-forge packages using octave's
    package manager pkg.m.
    It this therefore highly recommended to install octave to a path WITHOUT
    spaces. Octave will work if installed to a path including spaces,
and all
    packages added at the installation will work if installed into a path
    containing spaces, HOWEVER you will currently NOT be able to install
    packages using octave's package manager at a later time if Octave was
    installed to a directory containing spaces.

*) "make check" results:

    Summary:

     PASS   5754
     FAIL      3

    octave-3.2.3\src\data.cc  PASS  506/509  FAIL 3

Benjamin,

thanks a lot for supplying the 3.2.3. package.

A short question: are the critical packages

>        windows
>        octcdf
>        communications
>        ga (depends on communications)

auto-installed in the distribution so that "clear all" crashes by default,
or are they not and there is no "default" crash?

And a second: When was the octave-forge snapshot made that is used for the
package?

Thanks,

Rolf

No, these packages are installed as "-noauto", so there should be no
default "clear all" crashes.
Ah, I see that I dod not mention this explicitly in the release notes.
I'll add a comment. Thanks for the hint.

Do you mean this ( found in the readme.txt file ) ?

It has been built using revision 6401 of the building scripts
hosted at http://octave.sourceforge.net.

Hello

Congratulations!

However, in the sourcefore page

For convenience Octave-Forge supplies pre-built installers for Octave:
********************************************
Windows installer (Octave and Octave-Forge)
********************************************
is linked to the previous version

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.2.2%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20installer/Octave-3.2.2_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc-4.3.0_setup.exe?use_mirror=jaist

Please update the link.

Here I will write the url for users' convenience

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.2.3%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20Installer/Octave-3.2.3-3_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc4.4.0_setup.exe?use_mirror=jaist

This version is built on the gcc-4.4.0 on MinGW official site not but TDM.
 
Updating the complier to the gcc-4.4.0 is quite good news for me.

I'll update OctaveForWindows Wiki.

Regards

Tatsuro

Hello

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

For me

plot(rand(40,3))

worked correct.

There seems to be something trouble to communicate with gnuplot.

Do you confirm existence of gnuplot in ...\Octave\3.2.3_gcc4.4.0\bin ?

What output do you see to execute

octave> gnuplot_binary

?

Anyway problem was not found at least for me and seems to be something wrong in your environment or
some trouble in installing process.

Regards

Tatsuro
