Re: [Plplot-devel] octave now configured with autotools

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

I believe make x01c is just using ordinary default rules for make so it
isn't finding everything that it needs.  You should be using make check
instead.

First remove everything created by make x01c in examples/c so as not to
confuse issues. Second try make check in that directory. Everything should
work--- at least it did for me!  Of course the first time it will compile
all examples in that directory, but the second and subsequent times it
should only compile the example you touched.
