Bad platform specifier in octave portfile

Description

The platform selectors in the portfile for octave are "platform powerpc" and "platform i386"; I believe what was intended was "platform darwin powerpc" and "platform darwin i386", respectively. On Intel macs, this sets the wrong platform-specific options in the build, causing it to fail.

All these variants are doing is selecting which compiler to use. I for one don't see why powerpc users are being given gcc40 while intel users get gcc42. Why not let all users use gcc42? That would make more sense to me.

Could the maintainer please comment?

Oh: my suggestion to always use gcc42 is a duplicate of #12144.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I removed the platform specifiers in r31183. See #12144. So I think we can close this bug too. Neal, if you still feel there's a problem in octave 2.9.15_0 or later, please reopen this ticket.
