#31062 closed defect (fixed)
octave-devel builds without qhull support when using qhull @2011.1

Description
See: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?33712 -- open bug
configure octave-devel looks for /opt/local/include/qhull/qhull_a.h and links against libqhull. After upgrading qhull to qhull @2011.1, the headers are in /opt/local/include/qhull and the library is libqhull6.dylib, so octave-devel builds without qhull support.

Please fix this in MacPorts. A patch is available at "http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=23620".
Given that the latest stable octave release is 3.4.3, it would be very nice to see a version of octave in MacPorts that is actually still supported.

I just updated octave-devel to 3.4.3. Is this still an issue for others?

Needs a few more symlinks in qhull. See also #31053.

I believe this issue is with qhull, not octave-devel -- see ticket #32517. I'll leave this one open until I can verify, but 'configure' does now find qhull correctly using the patch from that ticket.

Yes, it looks like the issue was that bad symlink addressed in ticket #32517. I'll close this ticket once that one is fixed.

The qhull port provides a symlink from ${prefix}/include/libqhull -> ${prefix}/include/qhull, so the patch above will not make a difference.
The issue with qhull seems to be that it installs its DYLIBs with inconsistent names depending on what variants are selected. Using +debug results in a bad link that makes the qhull dylib unavailable to octave's configure script. If qhull is installed without +debug, I think the library names are what octave-devel's configure expects; this version works for me.

qhull was fixed in r87978, so this ticket should be fixed as well.

Yes, hopefully. We're discussing this issue, on the MP-dev list. Feel free to join in the conversation.
Given that this is an Octave issue, let's wait for the upstream & hope they fix it.
