octave-devel @3.6.4_3: missing dependencies

[bpabbott@…]

I'm one of the many Octave developers, and am a user of Macports. The current octave-devel portfile has some dependency problems.

1. The run-time dependencies for the +fltk variant (epstool, epstoedit, transfig) are also needed with no using fltk (i.e. when using gnuplot).
2. The arpack port should be included in the lib-dependencies.

Thanks for the ticket. In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers (port info --maintainers). Also, you don’t have to Cc yourself; as the ticket reporter, you’ll get email notifications automatically.

Yes, those changes look correct (I say, after a few tests). Here's my script for the library dependencies (assuming $prefix is /opt/local ):

port provides `otool -L \`port contents | grep /lib/ | grep -v PKG | grep -v \.la\` | sed -e "/\:/d" | awk '{ print $1 }' | sort -u | grep /opt/local/lib` | awk '{ print $NF }' | sort -u

which returns (for me: octave-devel @3.6.4_3+accelerate+docs+fltk+gcc47):

arpack curl fftw-3 fftw-3-single fltk-devel fontconfig freetype gcc47 glpk GraphicsMagick hdf5-18 libstdcxx metis ncurses octave-devel pcre qhull qrupdate readline SuiteSparse zlib

Doing the same for "grep /bin/" returns:

arpack fftw-3 fftw-3-single fltk-devel fontconfig freetype gcc47 hdf5-18 libstdcxx metis ncurses octave-devel pcre qrupdate readline SuiteSparse zlib

Comparing these lists with what the current Portfile reads: arpack, fontconfig, freetype, and zlib are missing from the library dependencies. I think "less" and "gsed" should be build dependencies; "less" might also be a runtime dependency.

Do you know if ftgl is used as a library dependency? Looks like it provides only headers and libraries, so if we don't find direct linking then it's not being used, yes? I see no direct linking ...

I'll test out these changes tomorrow. Thanks for reporting!

I checked Octave's sources and found no mention of flgl. Perhaps it has been dropped as a dependency? I'll check with the development team and report back.

Replying to bpabbott@…:

I've confirmed that ftgl is no longer a dependency.
