octave-devel @3.3.55 Build Failure

[lukas.reichlin@…]

Dear MacPorts Community

I've tried to adapt the portfile from octave-devel @3.3.52 to the latest version @3.3.55. Fetching and configure works well, but make fails for reasons I don't know. What do I need to change? Thanks in advance for every help!

Best Regards, Lukas

Modified Portfile from octave-devel @3.3.52

main.log Logfile

Try commenting out the line starting with 'reinplace "54,85d"' & then going at it again. Seems like that file has changed since 3.3.52.

Two other smallish notes. Please set the "Assign to:" to the maintainer (in this case, me) when you submit the ticket. And, if you could, please post "svn diff"s of files include the Portfile. "We" (developers and ticket creators) argue about whether diffs or the whole thing are easier, and experience tells me the former since I can easily read just the changes & get an idea of what you've done without even having to download the code. Neither of these are "biggies", but just good reminders.

I haven't tried compiling Octave since 3.3.52, so I'll give this new version a whirl & see if anything has been fixed.

Regular users can't assign tickets, but they should put the maintainer in cc as mentioned in the ticket guidelines. Octave-devel appears to have no maintainer though…?

[lukas.reichlin@…]

This seems to work!

[lukas.reichlin@…]

Hello,

I added a patch where I commented out the "reinplace" thing. The make process works, and I'm able to compile my oct-files. It is possible to install packages from octave-forge (not from MacPorts), but "pkg list" says "No packages installed".

Best Regards, Lukas

I never remember which way it is; thanks for clarifying.

Sorry; that's on my personal development version. When I check in the next update, maintainers will be "michaelld openmaintainer". My bad.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Lukas: Thank you for testing it out & for the patch. Given me a day or two to test locally & I'll check in the update.

I'm having issues with FLTK -- "port installed | grep fltk" for me returns:

  fltk-devel @1.3.x-r7794_1 (active)

which causes issues during compile. Do you use FLTK at all? I'll try without it installed at all & see if that helps.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yup; looks like octave-devel works when FLTK isn't installed (at all). If FLTK is installed (at all), then 'configure' picks it up -- no matter if it has been told otherwise. I'll check in this change 'as is' & then go back & work on FLTK separately.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Fixed in r75248.

[lukas.reichlin@…]

I'm using Gnuplot; FLTK doesn't seem to work for me (yet). Thanks for your work!

Portfile patch from 3.3.55 to 3.3.90

[lukas.reichlin@…]

Portfile for octave-devel 3.3.90

[lukas.reichlin@…]

Octave 3.3.90 was released.

Cheers, Lukas

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

done in r75431; thanks for the pointer.
