I moved the functionality of the mk-dist script in the mxe-octave
build system into the Makefile and removed the mk-dist script.
Now you just need to run
make nsis-installer
or
make tar-dist
to build everything and generate an installer or tar file containing
all the files.
Currently this will build the stable-octave target. If you have a
previous build that used the octave target, then I think you'll end up
with both versions included in the tar file or installer so some care
is needed to avoid having unintended files in the binary distribution.
Eventually I hope we can eliminate that problem so that the files that
are included are predictable without having to run "make clean" first
before building the installer (and everything else).
I don't know if it's caused by these changes, but nowadays I see that
"make -j4 nsis-installer"
spawns 4 simultaneous package download/build jobs, rather than doing
the
download/build steps one by one and invoking all CPU cores to that
package
build.
