Update of bug #35580 (project octave): Category: None => Configuration and Build System Item Group: None => Build Failure Status: Confirmed => Need Info Summary: autogen.sh is not portable to OpenBSD => bootstrap is not portable to OpenBSD
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #7: Update: the development version of Octave uses a script called bootstrap now instead of autogen.sh. I believe this can be considered fixed. I have a successful bootstrap of a current Octave hg clone on OpenBSD 5.3, the following GNU packages are required to be installed for bootstrap to succeed: autoconf (2.69p0), automake (1.13.1), coreutils, libtool, m4. I don't know for certain that GNU m4 is required, but I think I read in the autoconf manual at one time that it is, so I installed it and set M4=gm4 in my environment. Coreutils is required for gsha1sum only. You can certainly follow up with gnulib upstream if you want them to consider using OpenBSD's sha1 instead of gsha1sum, but the bootstrap script currently uses the --status option that is GNU-specific. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35580> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
