Hi Alan, > However, I hope those comments (such as the possibility mentioned above of > building an octave MinGW-w64/MSYS2 package for yourself using the pacman > packaging information at > <https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-octave-hg>) > are still of some use to you. > I have tried to build Octave under MinGW-w64/MSYS2 using that webpage. However: - I had to remove the references to the patches, as these do not seem to be available. No idea what the effect is - The build failed on a mismatch in the checksums:
$ makepkg -sCLf ==> Making package: mingw-w64-octave-hg r19590.6d75f1683ce8-1 (Sun, Aug 12, 2018 15:56:07) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Updating gnulib git repo... Fetching origin -> Found tip.tar.bz2 ==> ERROR: Integrity checks (sha256) differ in size from the source array. This is the point where I stopped. I have no clue as to whether this is a serious issue or not. I guess an alternative could be to simply build Octave and install it without pacman, but I have not tried that yet.
