Hi,

I can't build octave-forge on FreeBSD. I've tried the version from ports
(2004.02.12) and the latest (2004.07.07). I've also tried gcc33 from
freebsd ports.

501,p1,0$ uname -a
FreeBSD calvin.biaix.org 5.3-BETA2 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA2 #1: Mon Aug 30
11:06:55 CEST 2004     jo...@ca...:/mnt/obj/usr/src/sys/CALVIN
i386

501,p3,0$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728

The version from ports (2004.02.12) fails like:

===>  Building for octave-forge-2004.02.12

Stop in /fs/bulk/mount/FreeBSD/ports/math/octave-forge.

And the latest version fails with:

c++ -c -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -I/usr/local/include/octave-2.1.57
-I/usr/local/include/octave-2.1.57/octave -I/usr/local/include -mieee-fp

dispatch.cc:543: error: expected unqualified-id before ';
ke[2]: *** [dispatch.oct] Error 1
rm -f dispatch_help.oct

(see the attached build.log). The old
version also has the dispatch.cc error.

Any chance to fix it before the ports tree freeze?
