octave not pointed at correct gcc (gcc-devel)

[jserio1869]

I think gcc10 libs still having issues with building on darwin20, so some things are using gcc-devel instead. However, octave port is pointed at "gccdevel" instead of "gcc-devel". Not sure if this is on purpose or not.

I don't see this problem on Catalina with the gccdevel variant; the dependency seems to correctly be gcc-devel:

% port deps octave +gccdevel
Full Name: octave @6.1.0_0+accelerate+app+docs+gccdevel+qt5+sound+sundials
Build Dependencies:   gawk, icoutils, librsvg, grep, findutils, gsed, flex, bison, gperf, perl5, gcc-devel, pkgconfig, librsvg, texinfo, texlive-basic, texlive-latex, texlive-fonts-recommended
Library Dependencies: python27, ghostscript, gnuplot, less, ncurses, readline, pcre, SuiteSparse_config, SuiteSparse_AMD, SuiteSparse_CAMD, SuiteSparse_COLAMD, SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD, SuiteSparse_CXSparse, SuiteSparse_UMFPACK, qhull, zlib, hdf5, fftw-3, fftw-3-single, glpk, curl, qrupdate, arpack, fontconfig, freetype, gl2ps, vecLibFort, libgcc-devel, sundials2, qscintilla-qt5, libsndfile, portaudio, qt5-qtbase, qt5-qttools, qt5-sqlite-plugin
Runtime Dependencies: epstool, ghostscript, fig2dev, pstoedit, texinfo

Please show the output of port deps octave on your system.

This is on Big Sur:

But then, for some reason, I also get the following:

$ sudo port install octave Password: ---> Computing dependencies for octave Error: Dependency 'gccdevel' not found. Error: Follow ​https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. Error: Processing of port octave failed
