Works OK now. All OF packages I have in my (mxe) src/build_packages.m script install fine. I consider this bug fixed.

BTW I wouldn't have expected the fix to be in configure; last week when I had time I was trying to follow what happened in the src/mkoctfile* stuff.

Many thanks for fixing!

As to the PATH / batch file issue, see my comments on bug #40381. I think that is a more appropriate "bug" for it.

WIth a .bat file that spawns octave (setting path to include /bin just before hand), mkoctfile works.

I pushed the changeset: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/4dcbbfaa4e22

With patch, trying to run:

I am running octave directly from the octave.exe - it needs to run via script that sets the path instead?

That patch fixes it in terms of CXX etc being defined - patch reattached with patch comments etc.

The next issue I have on my system is that when running octave in ming GUI, it doesnt seem to have any paths except the current path.

For example mkoctfile testfile.cc in the installed octave directort/bin runs g++ ok.
If not in the bin directory, it cant find the  g++ executable.

I think I have  found the issue - compiling now to verify.
Uncommented patch attached.

I just did a clean build of mxe, with octave 3.7.7+ (as of last night) and see the same issue with mkoctfile.

Swapping mkoctile.exe & mkoctfile-3.7.7+.exe (on Windows essentially the same files) from an older 3.7.7+ Octave makes it work again.
In the mercurial file log for mkoctfile.in.* I see nothing that may have caused this issue.

Since a few days mkoctfile doesn't work anymore in my MXE/MinGW builds cross-compiled from Linux.
I confirmed this with an MXE tip & Octave tip both cloned this morning (Oct 20), to eliminate interference of stale build parts lying around (as was the case with bug #40301).

mkoctfile still worked with MXE-cross-built Octave based on sources of October 16 (I can't check the hg id anymore as I've updated & even wiped + refreshed my local repo before I noted this issue, and AFAIK in Octave builds there's no trace of the hg id it is based on).

What I see is this:

>> mkoctfile cell2csv.cc
mkoctfile: no way to compile C++ file cell2csv.cc
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status


I could track it down to mkoctfile not picking up the CXX flag:

>> mkoctfile -p CXX

>>


Setting this flag in the environment before starting up Octave with "set CXX=g++" (easily done in a batch file) I get:

>> mkoctfile -p CXX
g++
>> mkoctfile cell2csv.cc
'-shared' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
>>


..so mkoctfile apparently lacks more flags.

Looking in the on-line repo I recognize no changesets that could explain this.
