Re: [OctDev] munge-texi problem with static library build

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the help. I followed your advice and replaced the _'s with \_'s, and here is what I got with tex: 

frohro@frohro-D830:~/Desktop/octave-3.4.0$ cd doc/interpreter/

frohro@frohro-D830:~/Desktop/octave-3.4.0/doc/interpreter$ ./munge-texi

Unfortunately, with make I still get the same error:

make[4]: `munge-texi' is up to date.

Thanks again for the help Dan!

Hi All,

I'm attempting to build a statically linked version of octave 3.4 on
Ubuntu 10.10 so I can move it to a network of redhat 5 machines. Just
after it builds munge-texi, I get the following complaint from running
it. Can anyone give me some advice?

The file in question is this one:


http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/41d183070c04/doc/interpreter/arith.txi 




I used the "raw" link to download the file and compiled the tex file 
as follows:


[sebald@moorglade junk]$ tex arith.txi
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)

?


It turns out this file has three function names with underscores in 
them.  The underscore is a special character and is the source of the 
error.  I replaced all the "_" with "\_" and the tex file compiles.



The question is why this fails.  Is DOCSTRING defined correctly?  Are 
the underscore function names something that was recently added?  
Should the translator be adding a character before underscores?  I'll 
defer to the Octave maintainers list for those answers.


You said that you configure your compilation with:

<quote>

I am working again on building octave 3.4 with static libraries.  I did a

./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-dh

and when I make I get

on the Makefile in src/

an error for line 9457 about a Missing Separator.


I had to go to that line and replace the five spaces with a tab.  I 
got the hint from this page:


http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq22_17.html


The Makefile was made with the automake tools, and somehow they messed 
up on this.  I'm not really familiar with them or I'd make a 
suggestion on fixing it better.
