From bug-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Nov 6 13:15:38 1998 Subject: 2.1.8 again, sorry :( From: Joao Cardoso To: bug-octave Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1998 13:15:23 -0600 (CST) Hi again :-( I forgot to say: octave-2.1.8 was compiled with egcs-1.0.3 on a sco-3.2v5.0.4 system. `make check' gives no errors. Octave-2.1.7 was compiled on the same system with the same compiler and is currently in use without any problems. A missing feature: lists and structures cannot yet be loaded/saved. John Eaton, didn't you agreed with the patch I sent to you? octave-2.1.8:1> a=list("qwe", 123) a = ( [1] = qwe [2] = 123 ) octave-2.1.8:2> save po a warning: save: wrong type argument `list' octave-2.1.8:3> a.a=1;a.b=2; octave-2.1.8:4> save po a warning: save: wrong type argument `struct' Also, the `make install' installs without user previleges either the binaries either the (shared) libraries. Thanks, Joao P.S.- John Eaton, I have just now received you patch for the empty string bug. How can I compile and link *just* data.cc avoiding all the lenghty generic make? If I `cd src;make' it rebuilds almost everything in the pic subdirectory. Also, I have configured with `--disable static', and, although the static libraries are not build, the corresponding object files are needlessly (?) build.
